8 Date Ideas To Do In Liverpool

Hii lovelies, hope you're all well. I'm back again with a date related post, for todays post I am going to be discussing places to go on dates within Liverpool.

There's so many options to go in Liverpool so planning a date is difficult and you really need to stand out, you need to think out of the box.. no matter what number date it is. 

WALK ALONG ALBERT DOCK

The Albert Dock has a whole choice of ideas for you and so many different varieties, no matter what kind of date you're on or kind of person you're with they're bound to have a good time. And with the views, who can complain really? 

BREAK A SWEAT AT COMEDY CENTRAL 

What better entertainment is there than a bit of comedy and it's a good way to just sit down and relax. There's nothing better than having a good laugh and it'll calm you if you're feeling little nervous too, only downside is you'll find it hard to top their jokes afterwards. 

GET LOST IN THE MERSEY

Maybe you and your date are a little more adventurous.. kayaking is perfect for you. What better way to get to know each other than when you're trying to row across the Mersey and if you don't like them you can always throw them in.. it's a win win. 

WALK ALONG THE TERRACE AND FOOD

The terrace is such a beautiful place to go, especially in the summer and sit on the grass with a little picnic or have a drink in one of the many bars.

Tired after all the walking around and need some food in you, where better to go than TGI's and it's reasonably priced? You can't go wrong with TGI's and if you get to sit next to the window you can see the views as well, eating tea together is the perfect way to just sit and chat to your date. 

I also highly recommend BILL's it's perfect for whatever time of day and the food and drinks is just to die for your date will thank you for choosing to go there. 

SEEING THE SIGHTS

There's always something going on at the River Mersey, from Queen Elizabeth coming to visit to Festivals so you don't want to be missing out on any of it. Also, can we just appreciate how beautiful the Liver building actually is?! If you don't want to stand around there or nothing is going on that day, how about jumping on the bus and seeing all the sights from up high perfect for you bloggers or photographers out there. 

WALK ALONG THE BEACH

Crosby Beach is only a short train ride away, why not go stroll along there on a nice summer day or watch the sunset go down whilst sitting on the sand-dunes or on the steps enjoying a melting lolly-ice from the ice-cream truck. You can even dress up the iron men up if you're feeling jolly and watch the ships go past. 

AFTERNOON TEA

There's so many places to go for afternoon tea you'll be stuck for choice and some you don't even have to book you can just go on the day and enjoy it so it's perfect for a spontaneous day out. The food is perfect for everyone's tastebuds there's never a sandwich or cake there that no one likes and heads up if you go Scones on pronounced Scones not Scowns. 

SEAL IT WITH A KEY

Last but no means least, you could have had many dates now and are celebrating an anniversary perhaps or just feeling the love, why not go down to the lock bridge and put your own lock on there and mark it with you and your dates' name. It's a way of showing them that you care.. most will probably prefer Paris but this will do. 

Hope you all enjoyed this post, if you have any more suggestions or i've not mentioned somewhere you like to go on dates let me know in the comments !!

Storytime: Going Dutch

Hiii lovelies, today's post will be talking about 'gong dutch' on a date..

This is mainly related to what Loose Women was chatting about on their show on Wednesday (shoutout to them, as if they'll see this) it seems to be a 'generation thing' or 'what should be done' where the man/boy of the date pays the whole bill. I'm completely against this, i mean i have a job so why do i need someone to pay for me?! My brothers been with his girlfriend for 5 years now & when i asked who pays for the dates as they go for a lot of meals etc, he says that they take it in turn which i think is another great idea.

ANYWAY, getting back to my story. I was on a first date with a lad i really fancied and after the meal he got his wallet out saying he was to pay. I stopped him and said no, we were going to half it's what i've always done and i didn't feel right it only being first date and making him pay.. Like if i didn't like him and knew it was the last time i'd see him i'd make him pay lol.

So, i got my purse out and i only had card and he had cash so when the waitress came over i said i would pay on my card and just give me the cash. Well he THREW his cash at me, excuse me?! I felt so embarrassed as the waitress was stood there and she even looked at me like 'what has he just done'. I really liked this guy and had a great date and he's gone and done that? I was so appalled ngl.

It's fair to say i never saw him again aha, i don't see why he was so angry with me when it's just what i like to do i thought it was good of me to say go halves too?? 

Have any of you ever been in this sitauation, i'd love to hear about them.

Storytime: Dating Disaster

Stuck Up Simon

This is a story about one of my worst dating disasters imaginable. I've never told anyone in such detail about these dates and my family don't even know I go on dates.. Do you see how secretive I am??? I've changed his name to Simon for anonymous reasons & he's called 'Stuck up Simon' for reasons you'll soon find out. (hope he doesn't see this how awkward would that be)

First Date

I met Simon on Tinder back in 2015, this is the first & last time I will use tinder or any other online dating site to find a date. Online dating isn't my thing. Me and Simon were talking for a few weeks until he asked to take me on a date. I asked to see a photo of him first on snapchat so I knew he wasn't a catfish or mad murderer.. safety first and all that (even though we had followed each other on Instagram) he thankfully looked the same so I accepted. 

One Friday evening in May, Simon picked me up from my house in his flashy BMW. I KNOW RIGHT!! & he was only 19. He had told me to dress smart/casual for the date (every girls nightmare) when we were driving into town, I asked where it was we were going. He said San Carlo. 

YES SAN CARLO!!! The most expensive and extravagant place in the whole city & theres me in flipping jeans. My heart actually sank, I mean how could I even afford that for a start? So I started protesting how we couldn't possibly eat there & he accepted to try somewhere else. 

We drove towards the Albert Dock.. did you know that BMW have their own car park that cost about £200 a month? cause same. I opted for TGI'S in Liverpool One, I could already tell our worlds were different, but he didn't seem to mind just yet. 

When we were there eating away at our chicken, we were just talking getting to know each other and a couple next to us definitely knew we were on a first date and kept looking at us LIKE CAN YOU MAKE ME ANY MORE NERVOUS? The bill came and I said we should go half, i'm an independent woman who don't need no man to pay for my food. However he whacked out a £50 note and said he was paying. Excuse me?? i'd never even seen one of them before and still haven't used one! (except online maybe lol) 

After our meal, one of the Queen Elizabeth boats was in town so we went over to look at that and some projection was being shown on buildings whilst music played, which was cute. After that, there was also a firework show from the middle of the River Mersey, how cute is that for a date setting though?! 

Second Date

Four our second date, it was more of a hang out completely different to our first. Simon wanted to go to Ikea to get some furniture and office essentials for his new office in the Albert Dock, he was literally a fifty year old man in a 19 year old body. So I went along to help. 

I basically just walked around pretending I had a clue, looking for shelves that wine would look good in? err maybe my fridge shelves ;) his job was something to do with wine, idk really I just heard wine. I noticed that he was on his phone a lot but thought he could have a list or something and put it to the back of my head. Like I said, it was only the second date we weren't anything serious. (so clingy lmao)

After we had put everything into his car, which was a hard effort let me tell you. My mum had text asking me to go to the shops to get some food essentials, Simon kindly said he would drive me to the Asda. Whilst I was putting food in the basket, he started judging me for how much food I was getting. Like no one judges my food intake or my family. Bearing in mind I'm a family of 6 and he's a family of 2 obviously it's going to be different. Idiot. 

Third Date

Our third and final date lol. Simon text me asking a nice little cafe we could go for some dinner near mine so I suggested MOOSE which is delicious. He picked me up and started faffing around trying to find somewhere to park asking me where I normally park 1. I don't drive & 2. it's 20-30 minute walk away from mine I ain't lazy thanks. PLUS his swanky car could deffo park itself anyway. 

We both ordered some sandwiches but instead of talking, he was just sat there on his phone talking about some meeting he was going to in London. He even rang the person running the meeting up and sat talking to them for 10-15 minutes NOT what you do on a date (lads take notes) He then started moaning about the traffic and looking it up on google maps, I literally felt like I was sitting with my dad. It was so rude considering my phone was politely on silent in my bag too. 

As if things couldn't possibly get any worse, he started questioning me about Uni and saying how pointless it all is wasting time in uni when he could just be running his own business like he is now. Sound. Go back to your fifty year old life then bye x

The next thing I see is that on his Instagram he was actually away with some girl and was 'in love' with her (!!!). Like why couldn't he have just told me that instead of making me sit through his exhausting moaning about flipping traffic and how perfect his business is. He still goes around liking all my Instagram photos though & i'm just too nosey to delete him. 

So here's my little rant about my worst dating disaster. Have you had worse dates than this please let me know, also let me know if you want me to do more like this I have plenty lol.
