I know it probably seems like girls are always hatin' on guys & their lack of dating knowledge, so I decided to try to help the fellas out a little!
I know dinner & a movie is considered a "typical" date. I'm sure many times you've searched for more creative ideas, but come up short. I will share a few "non-traditional" dates I've been on, and allow others to post creative ideas from their dates past, or even possibly their dream dates. I hope it helps you in your dating endeavors!
I once dated a guy for an entire month before we ever even went to a restaurant on a date. He definitely probably gets the A+ for most creative dates.
Below are my "creative date" ideas for you. PLEASE add comments of additional creative dates!
- going to play a sport of some sorts (tennis, basketball, throwing the football @ a park) this allows you time to talk, see a little personality come out, and see how competitive they are.
- ice skating
-a local concert
- going to a park (if you live in T-town the quad is excellent for many adventures, the arboretum is also a sweet place to go in Tuscaloosa)
-if you or your date has a dog, you can take them to a dog park
- if there is a lake, or river, or any body of water, you can find a place to go and watch the sunset. Lake Nichol also has some great cliffs where you can go....and contrary to popular belief, some people actually DO go there just to talk, and not to make out :)
-go fishing (but guys, you WILL have to bait the hook, and take the fishies off)
-around Christmas you can go looking @ Christmas lights
look forward to hearing your ideas.
happy dating! `A
-Visiting a museum
ReplyDelete-Going to the zoo
-Going to an amusement park/fair
-Going to the circus
-Going to watch a sporting event (just don't forget she's there)
Kendall beat me to a couple of my ideas! Especially being in a college town, take advantage of local museums or even lectures that may be being offered on a subject that you both are interested in. Don't forget about the planetarium, either!:) Not every girl or guy likes those things, but if you do...go for it!
ReplyDeleteif you're going to get creative, why not go all out:
ReplyDelete1) a mix & match scavenger hunt: he writes down 5 nouns and puts them in a cup, she writes down 5 adjectives and does the same. shake 'em up, each draw from the other's cup and put the two words together until all 5 have been drawn a list of items to hunt is formed.
2) favorite foods tour: start with favorite apps (read: fried mac & cheese from t.g.i.fridays), and go from one restaurant to another until a "meal" is complete. doesn't have to be expensive--you can get a hot dog at target and a frosty at wendy's (who doesn't love a frosty?)
