   Step 2: Walk next to your date

   If you're comfortable with each other, you may want to put an arm around the other's waist.
   
   If it's a first date, a good way to break the touch barrier is to pull them by their wrist or hand gently and lead them to things. , Laugh and enjoy watching the antics of some of the animals.
   
   If you see something really funny, point it out and enjoy laughing together.
   
   If you're close and have this kind of relationship, you could playfully tease each other- if you're at a monkey exhibit exclaim, "Hey, is that your twin brother up in that tree?".
   
   It may be lame, but surprisingly enough, teasing helps you bond. , Put your arms around each other while looking idly at animals, ask if they're feeling okay if it's particularly hot or they look tired, or offer to carry their bags.
   
   Of course, you can ramp it up a little bit if you're going steady- don't be afraid to sneak a kiss in the darker indoor exhibits for nocturnal animals.
   
   Just remember to keep it PG as the zoo is a family place and PDA is not always welcomed! , Walk over to a nice shady bench and enjoy eating it together while talking and watching animals.
   
   Reflect on what you enjoyed so far, what you want to do next and of course, how much you enjoy the other's company.#Take lots of pictures together so you can share them with them afterwards.
   
   Ask them which ones they would like to keep, in remembrance of this wonderful day together.
   
   Try silly ones posing with animals, romantic ones together, or ones of things you've bought.
   
   Don't forget to take photos of the cutest animals you see! It is a zoo, after all. , Walk into the souvenir shop and buy her something nice- a stuffed animal is always a good choice.
   
   Choose an animal she loved to watch, and it will show that you really notice and listen to what she says.
   
   If you're a girl wanting to buy something for a guy, don't be afraid to break gender roles and be kind! Buying surprise gifts is for anyone.
