This is a great date place because it’s fun and unusual. Taking the ferry out to Peaks Island in the dead of winter is not for the faint at heart, however it is a bit of an adventure. Dress warmly for the ride over – once you arrive expect a light, airy and lively atmosphere. The Inn on Peaks Island puts on a brunch the last Sunday of the month. Expect a wide selection of buffet items along with omelet and roast beef carving stations. The buffet items include Ceasar Salad, standard breakfast items, asian, seafood and even lasagna. There’s a bar if you feel like a mimosa or bloody mary and while you’re enjoying your buffet – you’ll be entertained by a reggae band.

Make reservations, you’ll need them!

Take your time

Now that you’ve gone on a date with someone, the hard part is over and now you can slip into just being a couple, right? Wrong. Every date you go on offers the unknown opportunity of a new relationship. It also offers the chance that this one isn’t the one. Many people don’t want to go through ‘finding someone’ so they try to make every person they go out with into ‘the one’. No matter how hard you try to make it work, it’s like trying to swim upstream, it’s going to be tough going and when you’re working hard to make someone fit into your idea of the right relationship – you’re not free to explore other opportunities that might be better for you. So take your time and really listen to your intuition and above all – you should be having fun!
