Museum Date: A Way To Rizz A Gen Z
In today’s digital era, Gen Zs value eccentricity and transparency, and they gravitate to art pieces that mirror their character and stand on different social and political concerns. That’s why museums offer a fresh energy for a date where art and emotions mesh with each other.
Enticingly, a survey by Tiqets in 2020 showed that in the UK, 51% claimed that they would prefer a fun date, and 35% preferred an unpredictable date. In the US, 52% answered the former while 47% voted for the latter. Respondents of this survey were from the age of 18 and above where 51% were female while 49% were male.
While coming up with an amusing and memorable date may give you mental gymnastics or create a rip in your wallet, museums remove any mental block or budget concerns since most have cheap entrance fees and there are some that even offer free passes! This budget-friendly indoor activity with a spin of narratives woven into artworks that could induce deep conversations with your lover is a great foundation to keep things moving forward.
Currently eyeing a specific museum? Here are notes to build up your way to rizz a Gen Z.
1. Plan Your Outfit
Museums don’t have dress codes. But, Gen Zs are quite particular with their aesthetic preferences. With a certain museum in mind, you might want to pick an outfit that allows you to blend in well. Nothing too bright or adventurous, but something that makes you feel good about yourself. You are most attractive when you have confidence, after all.
2. Wander Around Sundown
Aside from sunsets providing a romantic ambiance, it’s best to wander after working hours if you’re dating someone who works a 9–5 schedule. Museums are often vacant during weekdays and it’s an opportunity to unwind from one’s job while talking about stories that resonate with paintings or sculptures. You just have to pick a venue that serves during those hours.
3. Try Not To Overthink
Gen Zs crave genuineness. If you aren’t so knowledgeable about who the classic painters are or the meaning behind their works, it’s nothing to fear. You don’t have to pretend and show off. If you think some works are too messy, it’s alright. Just be yourself and let your thoughts flow.
4. Spot A Nearby Cafe
It’s best to pick a museum with a nearby cafe. This way, you can sit down and extend the date a little more. This could also be a way for you to have more conversations and unlock a deeper connection. Gen Zs continue to boost the coolness of visiting cafes and appreciate the options they provide. Also, a grab of coffee could aid in improving alertness and concentration after a busy day.
As a generation that takes diversity and freedom of expression to heart, you can never go wrong with a museum date to rizz a Gen Z. What draws a Gen Z isn’t the whole art piece but the journey itself. Is it worth it to walk down the aisles of a museum with a Gen Z? Absolutely, yes!
