As senior singles based in and dating in Northern Ireland we are spoilt for choice when it comes to easy going dating spots in the area. If you’re not quite sure what options there are for mature dating in Northern Ireland, these are some suggestions that might help you to come up with a plan:

• Get outdoors – If you both enjoy the great outdoors, why not plan a walk somewhere near you? Whether this is a stroll through local woodland or a lengthy hike in a location that’s a little more dramatic, having something to explore together is a nice way to get a conversation flowing. You might want to pack a picnic or a hot drink to enjoy together, as well as some sensible shoes.
• Dinner for two – It’s a classic choice for a first real-life meeting, and sometimes you might feel most comfortable opting for what’s been tried and tested. Suggesting dinner at a local restaurant can be a great way to spend quality time together at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to chat and enjoy one another’s company. If you’re picking a restaurant with quite a specialised menu – for example, a restaurant that just serves seafood – it’s worth checking with the man or woman you’re accompanying whether they have any food allergies before making a reservation.
• Culture – Enjoy feeling like tourists in your own area by soaking up some local culture. This might be time spent exploring a local museum, a trip to the theatre or a visit to an art gallery, all of which will give you plenty to chat about. If you’re not sure what cultural experiences there are to enjoy near you, try checking a travel site such as Tripadvisor or visit the National Trust website which has a range of sites of historical interest dotted across Northern Ireland for you to choose from.
• Wine tasting – If you’d appreciate a little liquid courage as you both meet in real life for the first time, why not suggest a wine tasting event? Alternatively, if you know of a local bar that has a particularly welcoming atmosphere or is renowned for its great cocktails, this also could be ideal. We’d recommend opting for a less is more approach with your drinks, however!
• A trip to the flicks – The cinema can be a great option for a first meeting if you’d like to spend some time together without feeling any pressure to fill a long conversation. Grab your popcorn and head to the nearest theatre to enjoy a good film as well as that special someone’s company.
• Leave your comfort zone – For a fun first date, why not suggest trying a new activity together? This could be anything from going kayaking or ice skating to trying out a cookery class. Giving something different a go is a great opportunity to have fun together and may even be the start of a new adventure.
• Skip the planning – If you’d prefer to avoid the pressure to plan something, why not invite the person you’ve been chatting to along to an Ourtime event? Hosted regularly, these events take place across the country and are an opportunity to spend time with other independent singles in your area. Try anything from wine tasting to a comedy night, all without the hassle of organising things personally.
