If you want to impress that other person, you'll have to get horses involved! According to a research of an English datingsite, horseriding is one of the favorite activities on a first date. On the question "how does your ideal first date looks like?" about 37% of the participants answered: riding horses. Horse riding on number one, means it is more popular over the all-time favorits. In conclusion, don't think about the movie theatres (21%) or sailing (16%). Both activities are still loved but can't beat the presence of your four-legged friend. By the way, a romantic candle-light dinner is only prefered by 13% of the people. There is no doubt, we, the horse-people, do understand this decision. Horse riding combines passion and excitement. Horses are good looking animals, get related to romance (thank you Hollywood!) a lot and horseriding is without adventurous. But what might be key is taking care of horses. Maintaining a horse asks a lot of time, responsibility and attention, some of the characteristics we are all looking for in a partner. Yes you can get adventure and excitement with a romantic trip to Paris, but you won't immediately know if the other is a responsible, caring person. Even more horse riding is a nice, relaxing activity. The ideal way to put a smile on the other person's face at your first date. PS: the least popular activity is .... shopping! Only 0.5% of the people prefered it as a first date activity. Also football/soccer games, air balloon travels and musea are at the bottom of the list... What do you think?
