101 Fun Romantic Date Ideas & First Date Ideas

Figuring out Fun Dates

Be memorable for all the right reasons. When dating, show your spontaneous side by planning fun activities for your date (going for dinner and a movie is a bit played out, don’t you think?). This article offers you a few good suggestions to get started.

Fun dates bring excitement and interest to dating. It’s hard for a date to be forgotten when you’re cruising down the road in a rented sports car or surfing the air currents in a hot air balloon. Great dating ideas start with a little forethought and usually end with a smile. Here are a few fun dating ideas to get the ball rolling:

Go Riding
Find a place that will let you ride horses and go for a trail ride. This is a great way to get outside, enjoy nature and the fun of hoseback riding.
Rent a Car
Rent a luxury sports car for the day and take a trip out of town. Just because you don’t own one doesn’t mean you can’t drive one!
Go Karts
Find your local track and get suited up for a wild ride! If you find the right track and karts with the speed you need, this can be an exhilarating date!
$10 million
You’ve just won ten million dollars, or so you should pretend! Head out with your date and start making that list of things you’re going to buy. This is a great way to kick your cares free for a day.
Rock Climbing
Find an indoor gym that gives lessons and climb! It’s great exercise and a fun challenge for the both of you to undertake together.
Paintball
Although not for the faint of heart, paintball can be a rush for the right couple. Fields usually allow walk-ons on weekends so why not take on the world with that special someone and a bucket of paint?
Mini-Putt
Golfing on a smaller scale is a nice, relaxing way to spend some time. Find a course near you, but be careful of the windmill. It can be deadly!
Sailing
Play sailor for a day and get out on the waves. The local marina or yacht club probably offers lessons. You can also rent a canoe and head up or down a local river. Don’t forget your lifejacket!
Hot Air Balloon
Take a trip on a hot air balloon. Sure, it’s a little bit heavy on the cash but from hundreds of feet in the air, it won’t matter. It will be just you, the person you love, and some strange guy named Bruno who’s there to pull the string.
Flight Simulators
These are popping up all around and they’re quite good. Block off an hour and you can go head-to-head with your date in a heavily simulated situation. Look to your phone book for locations near you.
Now it’s your turn. Drop some suggestions below for fun dating ideas that you know of and keep the excitement of dating alive for all of us!

10 Pickup Lines that Will Get you the Biggest Response

10 Pickup Lines that Will Get you the Biggest Response

How to approach women and get noticed

It’s so important to meet women as often as you can. Some people wait for the opportunities to fall into their laps, and even then they are too shy to act on it. How many times have you been in line at a grocery store, doing your laundry or reading at the library when a very interesting girl catches your eye? And what happens when that woman, who is naturally drawn to you asks you a question? Most guys freeze up because they are completely unprepared, or they get freaked out because it’s been too long, or because of some other excuse.

Don’t miss out on another opportunity to talk to a girl. Dating is somewhat of a numbers game. The more you try, the better your chances at finding the right one. That’s where these pickup lines come in handy. Now please, don’t view these as your typical one liners. These are more like conversation starters. The idea is to get the girl to respond positively and hopefully stick around long enough to give you her BBM pin or add you to her contacts.

1. “Hi there! I have to tell you, that is a beautiful bracelet. I’d love to get one like it for my date tomorrow night.” Once she tells you where she got it, ask her to be your date. She’ll be flattered that you appreciate her great taste and it’s a bonus that you’re also interested in her.
2. “Who is your dentist? You have the most beautiful smile.” This is a great compliment to show her you appreciate a woman who takes care of her teeth and also that you like her smile. Listen to her answer and keep eye contact to keep the conversation going.
3. “Can I use your pen? I’d really like to get your number.” If suddenly her pen stops working, improvise! Save her number in your cell phone or memorize it if you have to. You can write it down later when you get the chance.

4. “Hi, nice to see you! You’re so pretty – you look like my next girlfriend.” If she has a sense of humour, she’ll get a kick out of this one. Keep going with a compliment. Tell her what attracted you to go over and speak to her. Girls respond to honesty and humour.
5. “Do you think I can get your number, when you have a minute?” This lets her know that you don’t want to intrude on her time. She’s probably busy, but let her know that you’ll wait for her if you have to. Tell her that you couldn’t let this great opportunity pass.
6. “I’ve never seen anyone like you before. Where do you come from?” This one works really well on women who are exotic looking. Tell her how different she looks and how refreshing it is to see her. She will love hearing that you notice her and appreciate that she is unique.

7. “I see you like milk. I know an Italian place that makes the best Alfredo sauce that I would love to take you to – When are you free?” This one’s a bit long, so make sure that you pause to get her reactions before you rattle the whole thing off. She will be impressed that you want to set a date sometime soon and will already start considering your offer.
8. “I can’t believe I didn’t see you until now. Let me make it up to you over coffee later today?” This line is perfect if you see a girl who looks busy and is about to disappear from your life. She will be intrigued by what you have to say, so make sure that you tell her why you two had to meet.
9. “You have the most incredible hair. What do you say to showing it off while dancing with me tonight?” She’ll be happy about the compliment, but make sure that you keep the conversation going. Ask her about her favourite music and clubs in the area, and then bring focus back to your date.

10. “Sweetheart, do you think you could take a chance on me? I feel so lucky to have met you.” This one works great for the girl that believe in chance and destiny. If she smiles or gives you any type of encouragement, remember to follow up with an offer to spend time together, like going for a walk, going to an art gallery, catching the local pee-wee baseball game, or any other fun activity you had in mind.

Stick to these lines and feel free to improvise and have fun! Just make sure that you don’t wait too long to get around to asking her out. She will see that you’re not very serious if you don’t propose a date. Become a date magnet and don’t let any girl slip through your fingers again.

How Shy People Flirt

What Eye Contact?
That's right - shy people hate eye contact, so you can imagine their dilemma when eye contact is the key ingredient to flirting successfully! Shy people will often do the classic 'quickly look, quickly look away' trick. There are numerous disadvantages to this; firstly, the person they're trying to flirt with won't even pick up on the subtle sign. Secondly, the shy person may look a little strange or suspicious with their eyes continuously darting all over the place!
