Your Date in the Dust

Put your partner first!

Like any date, it is essential to impress your partner by doing something that shows how well you know them. Think about all the things they love to do and the moments you remember seeing them happiest.

Is there something they haven’t stopped talking about they want to see on the Playa?

Maybe it’s an art piece that caught their attention, or an art car they want to snag a ride on, or even a musical artist they are excited to see. Pay attention and listen!

What are their interests or hobbies?

Black Rock City has a beautifully diverse population. If you look hard enough, you will find even the most obscure interests represented there.

What do they like to do for fun?

There is no shortage of fun to be had on the Playa. Help them get back in touch with that inner child. Reigniting a youthful spirit does wonders for a relationship.

What do they like to eat?

It would make for a fun surprise to show them you found their favorite food on the Playa.

Scout it out!

Before going on your date, it is critical to explore the city solo. See what new things are there. Use it as a time to brainstorm and come up with some ideas. The city changes every year, and having a good lay of the land will make for a smooth date and impress your partner.

This is an excellent time to figure out if there are any time-sensitive activities you want to do on your date. Most camps do have schedules for their events. If you plan to make one them, then you best know when they are!

If there is a camp, you know your partner ‘must-see’ try and introduce yourself to the camp beforehand and let them know your plans to come back with your partner for a stop on your Date Night. Who knows, maybe they will offer to do something to make it EXTRA memorable for you!

The ultimate goal here is to work out the general plan and course of events for your date. Your partner will love feeling like you have it all planned out for them. Nothing can ruin a date faster than floundering and fumbling over what to do or where to go next.

Plan to do more then you think you’ll have time to do. This way, you’ll always have something more to do and be prepared with plenty of plan B’s if needed.
