Melbourne offers much in the way of fresh date night ideas that will suit everyone from the first night daters with a love of fine food, right through to those who are looking for something that little bit different. So here we've put together five ideas for our members for when they're ready to make a date for that exciting first time meeting.
1. Soaking up some culture at The National Art Gallery of Victoria - 180 St Kilda Road, Melbourne
If you're a couple of culture vultures then how about taking a trip to the National Art Gallery? There are exclusive exhibitions each and every August and with pieces that range from super modern contemporary pieces through to the more traditional they'll be more than enough to talk about.
2. Enjoying a short yet delicious breakfast at The Top Paddock - 658 Church Street, Richmond
We often talk about the benefits of arranging a short first date to both break the ice and not lock you into a whole evening with someone you may quickly find not to be a potential suitor. So a fresh idea for dates such as these is to enjoy a rather delicious breakfast at the Top Paddock, where you could enjoy light bites over your coffee from 7am to 4pm.

3. Get out of the city and visit the Studley Park Boathouse - 1 Boathouse Road, Kew
Mature dating needn't be slow paced, but sometimes you'll want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy something more serene. In this instance there is the Studley Park Boathouse from where you can take a romantic boat ride, soaking up views of the beautiful botanic gardens.
4. Spicing up your life with Naked for Satan - 285 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
Senior dating is far from dull, and adding a little spice to your life can be methodically matched with a little extra spice to your food at this venue. Here you'll enjoy the very best of Spanish Tapas. This venue is also particularly known for its Pintxos and Walnut Croquettes.
5. Enjoy a delicious night out without the calorie regrets at the Secret Garden Bar - 7/60 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda
Fancy a night out without the cocktails that are calorie laden? Take a trip to the Secret Garden bar, where you can sit back in a day bed and enjoy the many live bands that play.
