Thinking back on my dating experiences, I've encountered one too many vague phrases like, "Let's hang out," which usually ends up being a "Netflix and chill" situation, in which I got all dressed up to sit on someone's couch. So imagine my shock when my first date abroad asked me out to a trendy rooftop bar in London. There's so much to do when you're in a different country which opens up the possibilities for date activities. Dinner dates, museum/art gallery dates, scenic picnics, concerts, hiking, going for a swim, and grabbing drinks at a trendy bar are all common date activities you may encounter. Especially if you're in Europe where the drinking age is lower than the US, grabbing a few cocktails is a popular first date activity.
While I know a lot of these dates are also popular and available in the US, enthusiasm for them is just different abroad. So, be prepared and just embrace it all!
