While the butterflies you feel when getting to know a new potential partner can be exhilarating, the early stages of dating can also be stressful. This is true for both parties involved. To help take some pressure off the situation, consider inviting the other person to lunch instead of a traditional dinner date. The guide below explains the benefits involved.

What Are the Advantages of Lunch Dates?

A lunch date is typically more casual than a dinner date, allowing both you and your guest to dress comfortably. Restaurants are also less crowded at this time, reducing background noise. By making the situation more relaxed, the conversation will flow better. Lunch is also usually less expensive than dinner, reducing stress associated with the bill.

A lunch meet-up can also provide you with more flexibility, time-wise. You can fit it into a busy work schedule. Alternatively, if you choose to have lunch over the weekend, you can easily extend the date by suggesting a movie, a walk, or a trip to an aquarium or bookstore without being limited by operating hours or early obligations the next day.  

What Plans Should You Put in Place?

Before the meet-up, talk to your partner about their preferences. For example, if they mention loving tacos, take them to a well-reviewed restaurant serving Mexican food. If they love the outdoors, consider ordering your food in advance, picking it up, and then turning your date into a picnic at the park. However, make sure to check the weather first in case it looks like rain.

In addition, put some thought into how to keep the date going if that's what you want to do. You can think of some questions to ask during lulls in conversation. You should also research other activities in the immediate area that you can do together should you find you don't want to part with each other's company.
