Start the day by visiting a local bakery - 'Bäckerei & Cafe Manteuffel', a popular one in Leipzig for affordable yet delectable pastries. Pick up some pastries together and head over to Clara Zetkin Park.
Spread your picnic blanket under the cool shade of an orange-tinged maple tree. Pour some fresh coffee from your thermos, enjoy your pastries and discuss your favourite football teams and matches.
As the afternoon cools, settle down with a light football trivia game. Take turns asking questions. This football theme will not only keep the conversation lively but also provide a perfect chance to learn more about each other's interests.

Gather all the picnic essentials a day before the date. Purchase a picnic blanket, two thermoses for hot drinks, cups and napkins. Also, prepare flashcards with football trivia questions.
In the morning, before the date, visit the bakery to buy pastries according to your date's preference. Fill one thermos with coffee and another with hot chocolate ensuring you have a soothing hot drink during the picnic.
Dress in comfortable and warm clothes to counter the cool October weather in Leipzig. Don't forget to pack a football, to add a dash of fun after the picnic.

Make sure to check the weather before planning a picnic. Although the weather is favorable now, it can quickly change in October. Have a second option in case of unexpected weather conditions, a quaint cafe like 'Café Kandler' is a good backup.
Interview at the bakery: Add a touch of fun by letting her choose what she wants. It's the perfect opportunity to learn about her food preferences.
Lastly, focus on enjoying each other's company over the picnic rather than worrying about the trivia game. The goal is to spice up the conversation and know each other better, not to win.
