If it’s a new relationship such as a first date or even a few dates down the road, you don’t want anything too heavy. Your goal is to connect with the other person and spending two hours of your time together being quiet in a dark room filled with strangers isn’t going to help. Try taking a walk through the Bowers Museum. There you’ll find things to talk about and you’ll be out and away from that table at your local coffee shop where perhaps you and the person you’re with has been too many times before.

If you’ve already had a few nights of solid talking on the town, it’s okay to switch it up a bit. You can try heading to the symphony in Santa Ana to catch some classical tunes and let your mind wander. It could be just the ticket to making your next date unforgettable and setting your new relationship ablaze!
