Everyone says the first date is the most important . . . but surveys show otherwise.

It’s the second date that can make or break a relationship. Why? Because polls indicate people begin to form an unshakable impression of you in the second date.

During first dates, we form opinions based on details that say little about someone’s character. In the next one, however, people really get to know one another.

So you’d better make it good, and we have just the second-date ideas to help you do so. Find out how to “wow” your love interest now.

7 Spectacular Second-Date Ideas

You impressed her on the first date, and now you worry the second date might ruin it all.

Ready for some ideas to show her who you are? Pick from our favorite seven.

But if you haven’t met that special someone yet, don’t count yourself out. You can always contact an escort service. With this reliable company, you might be surprised at how much fun you’ll have and how much you’ll get to know the other person on your date.

1. Hit the Amusement Park

Amusement parks are great go-tos for easy and fun first dates. Almost every town has an amusement park within driving distance, so this usually doesn’t require too much travel time.

Even better, amusement parks provide the opportunity to talk and show your inner child—all with needed breaks that help you stay calm and reflect on what you learn.

But make sure you go prepared. Check the weather beforehand and on the day of the date and know the park’s policies. If your date has a purse, for instance, the park might require she place it in a locker if you go on rides.

If you’re the adventurous type and explore a park you’ve never been to, do some light research to learn everything you can about the park before visiting.

Don’t forget to buy your tickets and make dinner reservations online! No one likes long waits.

2. Salsa the Night Away

It’s time to strut your stuff or show her how clumsy you are. Don’t worry; she’ll find either adorable.

Avoid the clubs and aim for a class teaching a specific style of dancing, such as salsa or swing dancing. First classes are usually inexpensive, and you’ll both get to laugh at each other as you stumble through the steps.

This is a fun, unexpected date idea that shows you’re anything except boring.

Of course, there is the added bonus you can get close to your romantic interest without appearing too forward.

3. Open Up at a Sporting Event

Go Eagles!

Want to see what she’s like as a person? Take her to a sporting event. There, you’ll get a glimpse of her inner beast or her shy personality.

Sporting event dates are perfect because neither of you is expected to stare uncertainly at each other the entire time. Instead, you both have something to watch and comment on to fill those awkward gaps.

And if she doesn’t know a lot about sports? It’s a conversation starter and an opportunity to teach her.

Because of this, sporting events are perfect for first or second dates.

4. Just Keep Swimming at the Aquarium

There’s something magical about the oceans, so taking your date to the aquarium gives you time to stroll, discuss and view.

The best things about going to the aquarium for a date are the low costs and the relaxed nature. You’re not pressured to behave a certain way as you gaze at the ocean creatures.

Pick a time when the aquarium isn’t crowded so it’s easy to converse. If all goes well, this also gives you the opportunity to catch an early dinner together afterward.

5. Get Your Blood Pumping With Laser Tag

Want something fun, engaging and with a dash of friendly competition? Play some laser tag.

Exercising releases endorphins, meaning you’ll both have good spirits as you try to eliminate each other or gang up on some unsuspecting players.

Laser tag also gives you the option to go in groups of friends or play against strangers. If you want more time with the two of you, do the latter. If you don’t mind sharing the attention or someone is particularly shy, going with friends might be the better bet.

Bryce Gruber-Hermon and Yossef Herman find dates that encourage healthy activities like this one are beneficial for these very reasons.

6. Laugh at the World at a Comedy Show

Laughter has numerous health benefits, including the ability to reduce stress and anxiety.

All that nervousness you have about your second-date idea shows if you’re the type of person to wear your heart on your sleeve. A comedy show keeps the attention on the stage but allows moments for intimate discussion.

Laughing is also contagious. Humans tend to like individuals who smile or laugh more, and laughing uplifts the atmosphere for you and that special someone.

Try to see a comedian you’ve heard good things about or seen before so you don’t have to worry that the entire night becomes an attempt at laughter and nothing more.

7. Horseback Riding

Finally, there’s the classic second-date idea that almost every girl dreams of: a horseback riding date.

Know someone with horses? Ask them to if you could take two of them out for a morning or evening stroll. If you don’t have equestrian experience, keep your time limited to a slow walk in the woods or reserve a class with a guide.

Keep in mind lessons with a guide and several people might give you minimal talking time with your date. Instead, try to find a couples reservation with a company that’s flexible about cancellations. After all, no one wants to ride while it’s rainy or cold!

Finally, make sure the path you follow is a romantic one that captures the geography’s beauty.
