Better Than Dinner And A Movie- Fun Date Ideas

This post goes out to every guy who has ever asked a girl out on a date ever!! The greatest challenge a man faces when going on a date is planning the date.  The date itself is going to be crucial in communicating not only your intentions but also who you are! So you can see the enormous pressure all men feel when going to plan a date.
I have included here a list of 10 date ideas. Use them as you will, I do encourage that you try to come up with something on your own. But if one of these helps that would be great. I will only be posting activities here, you can decide on dinner and desert. =)

1. Egg Drop
- You and your date (with another couple if you like) using select materials. (toilette paper, boxes, popsicle sticks, straws, tape, etc..) Take an egg, and using the materials design a divise to protect the egg from falling from a very, very, very high spot. (try to get at least 2 or 3 stories)

2. Scavenger Hunt- (group date)
- Yes, I know it is very cliché but it is a lot of fun. Especially if you make up some really random stuff. Grab your digital camera, make your list, and hit the streets.
- This is helpful when you want an excuse to pair off with your date but still have it be a group event.

3. Conduct a survey
- Sit down with your date and draw out some fun questions for a survey, then pick an accent to use when you interview. Then grab a digital camera and take turns filming the event (filming optional)

4. Dinner time
- Go to your local farmers market or your supermarket, and using the first letter in your names, pick out four- six ingredients to buy. Then take them home and try to combined them to make a meal for the two of you.

5. Play bigger or better
-Ok this idea might seem lame but it is a ton of fun. Take a small object that you don't mind giving away and go door to door at your friends houses, or random peoples houses and ask them to trade your object for something bigger or better. See how big you can go in just one our or more.

6. Make a puppet show
- Go to your local hobby store or craft store and using only $10 buy materials to make some puppets for you and your date. Then go back to your apartment and film a puppet show. You could swing by the store for some dessert as well.

7. Go to a show
- This might seem obvious but you would be surprised how much there is going on in your town. Your date will appreciate you doing your home work. Find a local event going on, it could be anything from a play to a comedy show. You could hit up a local band's concert, or go to a local art exhibition. After wards you just take a walk or get milkshakes.

8. Go hiking to visit a river or lake.
- Take a hike into the wild, while your walking pick up rocks along the way for skiping. Bring a bag to collect the rocks in. Make sure your hike ends with you two at a body of water big enough for skipping rocks. This date might seem boring, but don't be fooled, it is one of the best ones I have ever been on.

9. Bike ride
- Find some bikes, if you can get tandem that is the best!! Take a ride around your town. Take a digital camera or two and go take pictures of cool buildings. Go exploring and make sure you end up at the local ice cream shop.

10. Golf
- Ok I know that you might not be into golf, but this one is free and fun. Take two 5 irons with you to a park, then grab two tennis balls. Pick a starting point and make up different holes. It could be, jump over the bush, or hit the tree, you could even play tag with the balls.

There you have it. These are 10 of my favorite dates that I have ever done. I hope these can help you have some ideas. Remember to read my last post about great date tips, just to make what ever you choose that much better.
