- Weekend getaway
Instead of going out on a date for the second time, you could plan something more special.

A weekend getaway is more special than a date as it could give you a lot more time and opportunities to explore each other. A date, in a way, restricts things to a particular space and time. You cannot ask a stranger go out with you for a weekend. But, after you have had your first date and have got to know each other well, you could then go a step forward and ask the person to accompany you on a weekend trip.
