Dating in Oklahoma.
Two growing cities, two big campuses and lots of open prairie.
Most Oklahomans live in or near Oklahoma City and Tulsa, which sit about 100 miles apart along the Turner Turnpike. The University of Oklahoma in Norman and Oklahoma State in Stillwater shape the calendar, especially on football weekends. Both big cities have invested in new parks and revived districts, while rural areas and small towns across the plains are far more spread out.

First date ideas in Oklahoma

Walk the canal or take a water taxi through the old warehouse district, with plenty of places to eat along the way.

A free riverside park with gardens, trails and a boathouse, big enough to wander for hours without running out of things to see.
