Loading ...20 Ways To Go On A “Real” Date
As I mentioned before in a previous article, the reason that the traditional dinner and movie date doesn’t work at all is because it puts both people in an uncomfortable, pressure-packed position. Plus, how in the world are you going to talk to your date when the movie is playing at max volume? What a waste of 2 hours in a dark theater! Because this type of date is so typical, there is a subconscious feeling of boredom. The dinner and a movie date is so yesterday. Burying it in a graveyard is long overdue!
The types of dates that you have to go on are ones that allow you to do things together. This builds up the trust and bonding faster than a traditional dinner and a movie. Also, by doing activities together, your date will start to associate you with being fun and not boring. Here is a list of 20 dates that you can do to start building that relationship:
1) Try some sort of dancing together such as ballroom, salsa or swing. This is the second closest you can get to your partner!
2) Go golfing. You can even teach your partner how to swing by standing closely behind him/her while holding the golf club together.
3) Play a game of tennis.
4) Swimming. Race each other in the pool and see who is the fastest.
5) Horseback riding.
6) Walks or jogs in the park or beach.
7) Camping.
8) Arts and crafts. Go and make a pot or bowl with your partner. Make a scrapbook together.
9) Learn a language together. There are many beautiful languages out there!
10) Go hiking on your favorite trail, especially if it has a waterfall. Those make for beautiful pictures.
11) Go wine tasting and get drunk together. Who knows what will happen after this!
12) Visit the zoo and take pictures with the animals. Just beware of the lions, tigers and bears.
13) Spend an afternoon at a museum or art gallery. There should be many statues and paintings that the both of you can talk about.
14) Visit a botanical garden. Check out the beautiful gardens and buildings there.
15) Go bicycling or skating together.
16) Fly kites together.
17) Have a picnic or a barbecue.
18) Cook a meal or maybe a dessert together.
19) Put a sleeping bag out in the back yard and watch the night sky through binoculars.
20) Solve a crossword/wordsearch puzzle together or play board games. Connect Four has been one of my personal favorite board games to play with.
