By The Writer Girl

Summer is just around the corner with dating on the mind. There's something about the hot sun and fresh air hitting you in the face that makes it a fun season to meet new people. Check out these 8 creative first date ideas for the summer below.

       Keep on rolling

Grab your rollerblades and head to the park with your date. If he or she doesn't know how to rollerblade, it could be fun to hold hands and guide them. Make sure to take a break in between with lots of cold water and conversation. 

       Local band venues

There are always local bands playing somewhere in your area. Grab the local paper and check out where a new or favorite band is performing. Get some drinks and enjoy the music with your date.

       Pick a strawberry

Fruit or vegetable picking is fun and a creative thing to do on a sunny morning. Call ahead for picking times and if you need to bring your own containers. Make sure to wear a hat and talk about possible dessert recipes with the stuff you two pick out.

       Create up a storm 

Find out if there is a specialty art shop where you can do ceramics, pottery, jewelry or art. There are many cities, which have creative shops like these for couples. You can paint wine glasses or make pottery bowls. This is a unique kind of date, which he or she will remember because you can bring the creations home!

       Gift shopping for someone else

Maybe you have to buy your sister a great gift and you need ideas. If the woman you're on a date with loves to shop, why not take her shopping. She can give you her two cents and help you find something great. It's a sweet gesture to grab a flower from the florist shop while you're there to say thank you.

       Book pages with coffee

It's great to visit a bookstore that has a cafe inside of it in the middle of the day. A date doesn't always have to be in the evening or weekend. Choose a bookstore where you two can scour out the new books and relax with coffee and cake.

       Visit the elephants

The zoo makes a fun place to capture photos, walk and talk. Find out what his or her favorite animal is and make sure to visit it. Grab some cold refreshments, snacks and a camera. Make sure to let your date know where you're going so he or she can dress accordingly!

       Pass the sunscreen

If your date enjoys the sun, go and hit the beach! Impress your date by packing up all the beach essentials. Grab towels, sunscreen, chairs and a cooler. Make it fun by stopping at the grocery store with your date before the beach. You two can pick out fresh fruit and favorite drinks to add to the cooler.
