Go do something fun and silly like bowling. If that goes good get some dinner.

Only thing I don't like about bowling is you get up, she gets up, you get up, she gets up. Tough got talking. Never worked for me.

Where are you located? Ice skating or ice bumper cars at Kennedy Plaza?

Planetarium show at Roger Williams Park, or a walk around Thayer St. and the Brown campus. Electromagnetic Pinball Museum, in Pawtucket.

I second Planetarium! Dave and busters is a fun idea too.

There’s a pinball museum in P’tuck??

Anonymike7 t1_j18f3w5 wrote

Yes, it's tucked away in one of the old factory buildings near the highway!

$10, play-all-day entry, with dozens of machines from the 50s through modern day, plus a bunch of arcade cabinets.

Electromagnetic Pinball is my favorite place to be, highly recommend

LaSalette in Attleboro has free Christmas Light display

And the hour it takes to get in the parking lot will give them plenty of time to get to know each other lol

Yep! Then go to Briggs for dinner afterwards.

If you’re biologically inclined, the nature lab at RISD is free and open to the public (but you need to make a reservation). It’s like a tiny natural history museum but you can touch the specimens.

Take her to see the lights at the RWP Zoo.

It’s very cool, romantic, and they have a s’mores station half way through.

Second. A first date where you’re walking is a big win: you’re together, can talk, and are facing the same direction. A dinner or similar can be stressful for a first date having so much time face to face

Back in the day I would take dates to Coffee Exchange on Wickenden st in providence, or dinner then up to Pastiche for dessert.

Salmoninthewell t1_j179j11 wrote

Pastiche is legit. Unfortunately Coffee Exchange isn’t allowing any indoor customers while they renovate.

they actually reopened at the end of last month!

Oh, good, I’m glad to hear that. It was a bummer not to be able to go in last time I was there.

bonnarocz0926 t1_j17dpkf wrote

Aside from La Salette in Attleboro being a free holiday light show, I would say ice skating. If you're both bad, it's a great time. If one of you skates, it works on your communication and patience skills.

Delgado-Jonathan t1_j17mi3x wrote

Bowling, mini golfing, rock climbing, paint night, museum, etc. considering the weather these next few days anything indoors is probably better. Good luck 👍🏽

You can drive around and check out the lights

FieryVegetables t1_j187xvy wrote

Good ideas here, but I especially like this one - we did a run to EP last night and saw 2 excellent houses timed to music, and the previous night, a bunch of them in Warwick. The news sites list the current ones.

Xspot archery in north Attleboro is a great spot if you choose this route

It’s fun but not a huge space so not really blend in kinda let’s spend time together - also depending on your politics the hunting animals decor may be a turn Off. Just saying. Having said that it’s totally fun!

If there’s a similar interest you both have start with that.

Bronnakus t1_j18b25v wrote

If you’re going the dinner route: split a casertas pizza then hit pastiche. Doing something: bowling pretty much anywhere then a restaurant near the alley is a very safe move

Ice skating or bowling. The bumper cars at KP are overrated but skating is good.

Grab some dinner at one of the College Town places. Maybe a coffee house, if there is anything worth a damn.

Keep it simple, ask questions, don't go overboard, and have a great time.

Dinner and a walk under the lights in downtown Westerly!

take her ice skating! The rink in Providence is open. Perfect first-date activity!

Went to roger williams park zoo to walk around the lake and look at all the Christmas lights. It was delightful. Highly suggest.

I like Dave and Busters, it’s fun and competitive and you get to get her a prize at the end. Unsure if there’s an age requirement though?

Grab some coffees at the coffee exchange on wickenden st, chat it up, if all goes well, cross the street and hit up felinis for a great pizza!

CeloRAW t1_j19yzao wrote

Bro… no to ice skating. Y’all will be freezing cold and odds are have no skill on the ice which leave room for possible injury and looking incompetent. Bowling is ehhhh I would do that.

I would say take her to a bakery on federal hill and get hot chocolate and pastries. Just find a cozy spot and talk. Pastiche is good for that.

another idea - check out apex , in marlboro ma .

escape rooms, laser tag, trampoline park, axe throwing , vr gaming ..

Go to the movies and split a large popcorn. It takes some of the pressure away to make conversation as you’ll be watching the movie. It may also give you opportunities for a kiss or some hand on the knee kinda thing.

Avon Cinema on Thayer looks cooler than most theater chains, but really it depends on what you’d like to watch.
