About This Quiz

First dates can be rough. You're getting ready to meet someone that may or may not be the love of your life, and several questions are swirling throughout your mind: How do I look? What if I say something stupid? Is there anything stuck in my teeth? What if I make a fool of myself? And we get it because first dates can make or break the second one, and the third one and so forth. But don't spend another second worrying about what your future first date is going to be like, because, in this dating quiz, we're going to determine what your ideal first date should be!

This one is always tricky because that first date spot has to be ideal for both you and your crush. Some people prefer more classic and simple settings like dinner and a movie. But others seek an adrenaline rush and are OK with skydiving out of a plane. Now, if that doesn't sound too romantic, we've got a whole lot of options for you. You could be the Netflix and cuddle type, the jazz club dancing couple, or the comedy club duo. But which one is right for you? Well, its time to take this first date quiz to find out!
