Bowling for A First Date – 5 Reasons to Do It

Bowling is a great idea for a fun first date. Unlike the more traditional first dates like going to the movies or going out to dinner, bowling allows you to interact with your date in a few different ways. Here are 5 reasons why a trip to the bowling centre makes for a great first date.

Great Ice Breaker

Because bowling is not a typical first-day activity, it provides an immediate topic for conversation. You can chat about your past bowling experiences or how you have never been before. This can naturally lead to other interesting conversations.

Pass the Touch Barrier

During the first state it is important to get past the “touch barrier.” When you pass the touch barrier, it implies a sense of fun and comfort with your partner. While bowling there are ample opportunities to make physical contact in very natural, casual, non-threatening ways. For example, you can help to correct each other’s form or throw, or even high-five after bowling a perfect strike.

Easy Prep Work

Oftentimes, bowling centres will offer more than just bowling. Some will offer bar food, beer, and maybe even an arcade or pool table. You can have a simple alley with bowling and beer or an upscale venue that has waiters, loud music and adult beverages.

Personalities on Display

Bowling can be played like a simple, fun game or the competition can be intense. The way your date chooses to play the game will give you a lot of insight into their personality.

No Pressure

First dates can make you nervous, but bowling provides a fun casual environment to reduce tension and encourage interaction. Whether you are looking for someone relaxed and laid-back or someone high energy and outgoing, bowling is a great way to begin to get to know them a little better.
