A more crazy example of the Fun Date Ideas compilation

This is something I personally did on my own, and really exited the girl I was with. From all the recently posted fun date ideas, this is definitely the most time consuming (depending on where you live) and not something for your first date.

Question: Do you have a beach or a beautifull lakeside nearby that's huge, but a little bit farther away?

Then this Date is gonna be perfect for you. Make sure you got some energy drinks, snacks and everything on the beach-date checklist with you. Check the time of sunrise at the place you are heading and then proceed to hit the road late at night. Make sure the timing is accurate so you arrive at least 30 Minutes before the sunrise time at your designated location, and then drive through the night to watch the beautifull sunrise at the beack or lakeside together.

Make sure you both are well rested and have had plenty of sleep in the night before the trip. Trust me, this will end up being one of those remarkable experiences you won't forget for a loooong time.

Fun Date Ideas' proudly presents: The "Date of the Week"

This is gonna be a no brainer, and definitely something you might have already considered yourself. But it has to be stated again, for reasons I'll lay down to you shortly.

Hit a Stand up comedy club togehter.

This is HUGE fun, and it's definitely a good start, especially if your still a little nervous about how it's gonna go and "how well you're going to perfom" (it's ok, I know, "just be yourself" and all that - but at the end of a night and if she's a real cutie, your pretty damn happy if you managed to keep your compusre and present your best self throughout the night, right?).

And if there is one key ingredient for dates to work, it's fun. You don't have to crack any jokes, just enjoy each other's company laughing. This is like "outsourcing your date" while still collecting all the benefits involved when two people of different sex spend an entire evening having fun in each other's presence.

I'll let you in on a little secret here - it doesn't really matter that you're not the one on stage, cracking the jokes - she will associate the good experience with you anyway just because you're there and because it was your idea. How's that for an easy start?

(Just make sure the comedian is even remotely knowing what to do to make a crowd go wild and you'll be more then ok).

Fun Date Ideas - The Romantic Sessions

Yeah, I know, you were probably already wondering when I would hit that part of the topic.
Well, on a personal note, I really believe the word "romantic" is totally overused in the context of today dating world, because quite frankly, you can turn most of all possible dates into a romantic date adding one of the following three items:

Better timing. I.E. make sure the date happens at either sunset or, if your more hardcore about this, sunrise.
Adding a nice blanket and some candles.
Tangible Chemistry.

The latter being of course the hardest to influence or even add artificially. Though hard, not impossible.

So the task at hand basically changes from "finding an idea for a romantic date" to "how to make a date romantic at the right time and with just the right amount of ... cheesiness involved".

Well ... that's a delicate one, yet easy to do if you know the basic principle of creating a fantastic romantic event.
Which is
"Create the spark first before you try to start the fire."
What does that little try-hard analogy try to convey?
Well basically, if you already established a connection with each other, are both having fun and are really enjoying each other's company, that's the time you can go and start a spontaneous tango without music under a tree in the middle of nowhere while the sun sets, or take out the candles and hand her your jacket (with the vicous intend to suck her in on her compassion for you and cuddle up to you to share the bodywarmth, of course).

What's the message of this article?
Well, maybe it's that Romance lies in the moment, not in the set-up. I personally had the most relationship-shattering discussion with a girl I really loved when we were lying on an deserted white-sand beach in a full moon clear sky 20 degrees celsius (warm enough to wear t-shirt or mini-skirts without any additional clothing to cover) summernight. It pretty much doesn't get more romantic than plain old *perfect*, period.

Have fun with each other, concentrate on the "clicking" part, and romance will handle itself.

Take care,
and if you really think you need some additional input on how to set up romantic date in the least obvious and still compelling way,
I can't praise Michael Webb's book on creative date ideas enough.

You will find some classic "romantic date ideas" on this blog as well, but not today, I'm afraid.

The marvelous "Fun Date Ideas" - Quick Fix

This is for the guys who realise they are late for a date and have no Idea where to go, five minutes before theyve got to catch a bus or a train. So let's cut the blabla and get right in the middle of it:

  1. Picknick in a Tram or Train (slightly inspired by before the sunrise, but quite unique for everyone)
    Just get a few croisants and some coffee to take away, maybe some grapes and even a bottle of vine with glasses will do extraordinarily.

  2. Climbing over the the fence and taking a swim in an open air bath at night - be sure to bring some large towels, a blanket and an extra pair of Sweatshirts for not freezing to death afterwards (this is for the more spontaneous and daring of you, obviously).

  3. The last one's perfect if one of you has a car:
    Drive to the nearest gas station, get yourself sorted with lot's of sweets, chips and drinks, maybe. And make sure you buy a copy of one of the big men and women magazines like FHM and Cosmo (make sure she's not a subscriber for it, or the next stay may lead to some hurt feelings). Drive somewhere nice and lit and procede to make all the psycho-tests together. Exchange magazines and try to answer like you'd think your date would - this is especially funny if you do it on one of the earlier dates. And have a great laugh about all the topics and the ridiculuos amount of adds and stuff like that. You two will have a blast, that's for sure.

Remarkably Example for Fun Date Ideas even I would never come up with

Sometimes you find some gold nuggets in the middle of nowhere. That's what happened to me just today.

Take a look at this one (this post includes not one, but actually three fun date ideas, if you look closely):

Open markets, festivals, things like that. If you have time to plan, take a day-long pottery class: You can get muddy with her and have fun.
Taken from a forum post you can find right here on megatokio.


That pottering thing really hit me, never thought about that... thinking of it, I might finally come to terms with my many childhood traums and add Orgami and Stitching Courses to my fun date Idea toplist. Thats a tough one for me though, those were horrible memorys (don't ask) - but anyway, thats apparently not your business, so let's just leave it at that and I'll get back to you with the next bunch of ideas - pretty soon.

Weekly Top 3 on Fun Date Ideas

Hey folks, this is another nice and nifty guide to sweping your date off her feet the minute she realis... ok, ok, I'll keep the cheese to myself.

Really, everyone who's been there knows that I takes far more then a nice location for a girl and a guy to really enjoy themselfes on a date - the right date Idea is not a guarante, but really just the major pillar for two people to start off something they can definitely enjoy.

So, for today, if choosen three of my personal favorite and most versatile Ideas which are equally suited for first- and followup-dates. Here we go:

3. - Hit a Circus

This would have been my number one for today, but then I realised how rare circusses have become nowadays. Other then that, it's a perfect date activity, it's mutch more energetic then your usual time spent at the cinema or most things you could possibly do over a vanilla lattè, and yet theres no motoric talent required for each of you two to perform decently. If you can find a circus anywhere near your area, it's really a no-brainer, and a great start for a wonderfull evening.

2. - Do a Salsa-Dancing Introductory course

This one really hit's it of with you two on a really great tone, because it conveys so much messages at once. First, it's a little dearing to do on one of the earlier dates (if it happens to be your first one), which shows your courage (which is one of those general qualitys women tend to subconciously look for in a man). Second, it expresses that you think highly of your ability to handle yourself in this kind of situation, which conveys self esteem.
It's always good to have spent some together before hitting the dancing class, so make sure you schedule the beginning of your date a little earlier - maybe an hour or so, and enjoy yourself over drinks, getting here all exited about the little suprise you have planed for later on.

1 . - Reach for the skys and go climbing together

Now I personally would have zero problems to just go free climbing with a new date, being the daredevil I am - but of course I can understand if this is too risky for some of you to consider. Well, in this case, there's this handy little invention called indoor climbing, complete with rentable high-quality equipment and Cheap Introductory courses on how to handle yourself and securing others around the climbing walls.

Climbing qualifies for a fun date Idea because
a) It really is a hell of a lot of fun, especially if you are both in at least mediocre shape
b) It's definetly different from your normal coffee or dinner date, and usually still less expensive then the latter.
c) You immediatly create a bond of trust between each other, because you will be the one on the other end of the rope and your partners one and only safeguard.

And of course, you will definitely have something to talk about later on when you hit the road for drinks, ideally you'll be already planning your next tent-sharing climbing vacation together.

So that's it for today, folks - hope you enjoyed my Ideas and some of them suit your personal style.

If you think you really need a *lot* more options to choose from, head over to the 300 Date Ideas website (just click on the link) for more Ideas then even the most ruthless serial daters can run out of within years.

Have fun trying those out,
bye
