Suppose some djini has said you can date anyone in the City but it cannot be at a public indoor establishment…
What are some outdoor dating ideas besides Chicago Architecture River Tours, picnics, and carriage rides.
Is the first date too soon to cook at your apartment and bring a date over? Only work if you have a real spacious and nice pad? What are some other dating at the apartment ideas?
Personally, I would recommend against a first date at one’s own home, since even if one intends only a nice home-cooked dinner, it would be all too easy for one’s date to draw the wrong conclusions about one’s intentions.
But don’t pay too much attention to me; I don’t know the second thing about the opposite sex.
Summer festival season is about to start up: Blues Fest, The Taste, Jazz Fest, etc. etc. And of course there’s always Navy Pier, Wrigley, Sox Park, …
I have one word for you - Summerdance! And of course, there’s always Ravinia.
Haven’t do so since I left Chicago (40+ years or so), but I used to love midnight bicycle rides on a warm summer night from my home in Edgewater to downtown along the lakefront/Lincoln Park. No traffic, peaceful, pleasant temps.
I’m curious…is it safe to do so these days?
Chicago has beaches with volleyball courts, golf courses, tennis courts, all along the lakefront and reachable from the bike path, along with places to eat outside. The farmer’s markets often have entertainment, too, and I know a couple people who have done the markets as a first date/internet meeting. The zoo is awesome for a date, then you’re right at Lincoln Park and all the nighttime outdoor eating/drinking.
In that same vein, if you are a bit on the daring side, the annual World Naked Bike Rideis coming up on June 11. It generally goes right past my house!
