I know that many of you will reply with something along the lines of "If you can't think of where to go on a date, you shouldn't be dating," but I hope that you won't. I'm genuinely stumped. Ok, here is the general idea: There is a girl that I've been seeing, very nice and so on, we've gone on a few dates and just hung out a few more times. Problem is, there is a period of non-activity right now, and I don't want any relationship we have to go into limbo. So I'm going to ask her out on a date, but I'm stumped as to where to go. My city is small and the options are limited, and it's a wet, sloppy, dark winter here, and I need to take this girl somwhere nice. Anyway, we went to the movies on our last date, so I don't think that's an option. Where do you guys think I could take her that she would like, or at least not be bored?
supper make her supper rent a movie and pop your own popcorn, cuddle on the couch id suggest a picnic but, winter go to a museum or art show show her your favourite place in the city
When we were first dating, my husband & I would go to the mall. Sometimes we'd stop & pick up smoothies or coffee, other times we'd skip that in favor of going out for lunch or dinner. Then we'd walk around watching people & creating silly stories about who they were & what they were shopping for. After that we'd check the time & separate for 30 minutes. We had $5 each to spend, and we had to buy something for the other person & be back at a designated place within the mall. Then we'd leave the mall to find somewhere fun to eat, or go back to his place to cook dinner together. It didn't cost a lot, but it sure was fun Oh, and winter picnics are TOO cool! Find a park with a covered picnic area & bring several WARM blankets. Use one to sit on & the others for wrapping up in, and remember to bring a HUGE thermos full of something hot to drink. It's another not-too-expensive idea, but it's just different enough to be truly memorable. (I still remember my first winter-picnic, 16 years later if that gives you any idea of how cool it can be!) Art museums are cool if you've got one nearby. So are conservatories & "free zoos." And if either of you are at ALL interested in the stars, on December 13th there will be a meteor shower called the Geminids. (the 14th is a friday & NOT a school night, and there will still be plenty of them around ) Find a couple lawn chairs & sit facing east/northeast and just watch. It can be a TON of fun if you make up a rule like "for every shooting star you see, you've got to..." (and fill in the blank however you feel would be best) Good luck I'm sure you'll think of other ideas too! love, mom
I think those are really cool ideas... I also think going to a cozy coffee place and getting coffee and talking is always good. Good luck!
Good thread, i myself am tryin to find things to spice up our relasionship. Its needed right now. More ideas from the ladies please.
my bf and i curl up in front of a movie quite often, but i work at a video store so i get free rentals heh. well also sometimes just lay in bed and talk, but thats because we dont seem to ge ta lot of quality time together despit eliving together.
My girlfriend, lets see. I took her on a double date with my buddy and his girlfriend. We picked up a big bottle of vodka and redbulls, then went beer bowling. Then we had sex. Then I had to stop because I had the spins real bad. Were still together tho. But don't do what I did.
My boyfriend and I are having a tough time with this lately. I can think of a lot of things to do..but it's mainly getting him to actually do the things I think of that's the problem, so I'm always in the market for new ideas that he might be open to. Remember that dates don't always have to follow the 'dinner and a movie' mold, sometimes just doing silly, mundane things can be great for bonding, and usually end up being lots of fun. Go iceskating, snowshoeing, sledding, make a snowman or snowfort, string Christmas lights, make and decorate Christmas cookies, go Christmas shopping together, take a walk around town ending with a cup of hot cocoa at a coffee place or diner. Find somewhere to volunteer together (soup kitchen, bell ringer), or do one of those angel-tree things and get a gift for a child together. Go to a book store and take turns reading jokes to eachother, or mocking the names of romance novels. haha Go to a mall and just people watch. Stay in and play board games or video games. Go bowling or to an arcade. Make her dinner, or pick a complicated meal and try to make it together. Then serve the dinner over candlelight with her choice of music in the background.
Just don't do anything in this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-672238461456201976&q=educational+film+what+to+do+on+a+date&total=69&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0 I've been watching too many episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and geeking out on these cheesy educational films as a result..ha!
