8 fun extrovert date ideas

For the extroverts among us, social interaction can be the key to a great date. Extroverts may crave more stimulation and excitement in order to connect more deeply. Typically energised by being with people, they’re potentially more action based, may be more confident in large groups and work out situations outwardly, talking things through, rather than internalising. Finding great extrovert date ideas could be a challenge for an introvert! But there are many options that can work for everyone and help extroverts enjoy themselves and be seen at their best.

Karaoke

Karaoke is a great way to show off your musical skills (or lack of!) in a fun environment. Singing produces endorphins, which automatically put you in a great mood. It would be hard not to be at your best on a karaoke date. It doesn’t have to involve a crowd – many karaoke places offer private booths if you’re shy about your voice. It’s a way to let your hair down, have some fun and not take yourself too seriously, whilst finding out your date’s favourite songs – or maybe a duet!

Learning a new skill together

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to learn to dance, paint or cook. You could go on a ‘skill’ date to learn something new with your date. These can be time spent together amongst other people at a class, workshop or group setting.

A group ballroom dancing class, for example, means you get to be close to your date and spend time with each other throughout the class, whilst having others around you as well, providing some buzz and energy. See what you can cook up together and bond over what you learn.

Experience some night life

Whether you’re a fan of bars, clubs, pubs or late night shopping, there’s a hustle and bustle within city life that’s appealing to extroverts. If you live in or near a place with lots going on, why not take advantage of being around other people as they go about their lives, engaging with those around you as well as focusing on your date, allowing the social side of your extroverted character to shine. You could even stroll through an evening food market, trying some street food, taking in the local surroundings.

Double date

If you’re a couple of meet-ups in, then a double date is something to consider. It’s a good opportunity to get to know each other’s friends and enjoy more of a social occasion than a one-on-one conversation. A group setting can help those of us who thrive off being around people, while providing an environment to see your date interact with other people too.

Live music

Going to a music festival, a concert, a theatre show, a gig or some sort of live music event together means that you will be surrounded by other people. You will be part of a crowd, but that doesn’t make it any less of a date. Going to the theatre is a great first or early date too, but if you want something a little more interactive, then a festival or gig may mean you can relax, dance and chat as well. You get to experience something together, unique, and the ‘live’ quality of it means that you share something special with those around you while being in your own bubble.

Amusement park

For the thrill seeking extroverts, this is an ideal early date. You can face your fears together, have a rush of adrenaline and share these moments of excitement together, surrounded by others who have a love of thrill seeking! Fairgrounds, roller coaster, and rides offer lots of stimulation, activity and movement, which can make for a great extrovert date idea.

Escape room

An escape room offers a great opportunity to problem solve externally by working things out together and taking actions to progress so you can escape together. Escape rooms and similar immersive activities are usually time sensitive with heightened tension, so you’re pushed into making quick decisions. They can be challenging and great fun, getting your brain working and ideas flowing. They can be fun dates for extroverts and offer a sense of fulfilment if you manage to escape in time.

Quizzes and trivia nights

A great extrovert date idea is to go to a local quiz or trivia night. You can get a team together, join an existing group of players or just do it as a twosome. In an atmosphere where you’re surrounded by people in the same situation, trying to work out the answers and win.

Let your competitive side come out and enjoy time together in this social setting. You may want to read up on some knowledge of more specialist subjects beforehand though, if you really want to impress!

Dating an extrovert can be a lot of fun, and have some exciting moments. Enjoy the new experiences!
