Spring suits gardens, markets, minor-league games, and short walks with a coffee stop. Summer invites early-evening festivals, outdoor music, and waterfront areas with plenty of people around.
What matters in practice
Autumn works beautifully for fairs, bookstores, scenic town centres, and daytime games. Winter calls for museums, diners, public skating, and events where weather cannot cancel the conversation.
Keep the first meeting short enough to leave naturally and flexible enough to continue. Good dates provide a shared subject without drowning out the person.
