    When it comes to first dates, you may already have a variety of ideas for places for you and your partner to check out - a coffee shop, a bookstore, even a walk in the park. These are all considered to be good, safe options for a first date. But, what if we told you that if you’re queer, there’s an even better option?

    While going out clubbing is not generally considered a good option for a first date for most people, when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ community it is actually one of the most popular options. A great number of the LGBTQIA+ community find acceptance and solace in the walls and booming music of a nightclub. Let’s take a look at why the club is considered one of, if not the absolute best places for a queer couple to have a first date. 

    Get a Needed Boost of Endorphins

    Endorphins are often described as the body's natural mood boosters or antidepressants. This hormone is released by the brain in order to help relieve pain, boost mood, and reduce stress. 

    There are often times when the body is unable to release or produce the hormone. However, there are many kinds of activities that can help to release it. Doing somewhat intense exercise like dancing, eating delicious food, drinking alcohol, and even having sex are just some of the things that you can do to give yourself that much-needed endorphins boost. 

    If you’ve spent much time on the gay club scene, you can clearly see that many of the things needed to release endorphins tend to take place at these places. So take your partner, enjoy some good food, some drinks, and either dance away the stress or go home for a good time between the sheets.

    The Fun of Dancing

    Dancing has been a well-known stress reliever for a long time. In fact, it seems that just about every worthy event involves some sort of dancing. It loosens the muscles, gets the heart pumping, and allows for you and your partner to potentially get up close and personal with each other. Besides, don’t you want to know how well your partner can dance?

    Bond Through Your Love of Music

    At a club, you can always expect there to be great music playing, and while not every club is going to be playing every single song, there are sure to be some bops. That’s because club DJs are experts at ensuring they play something that will please every club music taste. 

    Whether you and your partner tend to enjoy high-energy pop music, EDM, hip hop, or a blend, you will be able to find a club for you and the person you are with to enjoy and bond over the music you hear. You could even take a fun time at the club as an opportunity to find new music that you enjoy. 

    Enjoy a High Energy Experience

    When it comes to a first date, you want to make it a notable experience that will make them come back for more. What better way to do this than by giving them a notably high-energy experience that they will think about for years to come?

    When you go to a club there is a lot of sensory input, and while it may be overwhelming at times, this high-energy experience is highly craved by many people. The booming music, the flashing lights, the dancing, and even the food. It is all designed to give people a high-energy, memorable experience to enjoy. This makes a club a perfect place to consider for your first date. 

    Have Something new to Talk About

    It’s very likely that even though this is your first date, you and the person you are going out with have already been talking for a while. While you and this person may think of the world for each other, it’s always a good idea to do something mildly intense when you get together for the first time. 

    By going out to a club you not only get to enjoy the high-energy experience, the dancing, the food, as well as everything else about the club environment. But you also get to enjoy having a new talking point with your partner. Clubs are also a great place to people watch! That’s always a great activity for generating conversation.

    Where Can You Find a Club to Go to?

    There are lots of ways to find a club to go to - Googling what is available in your area, checking out social media pages, and even just hearing about places through word of mouth. But, you have to dig through a lot of nonsense to find what you’re looking for. What if you could find the best clubs and events in one place? What if you could buy tickets there too?
