Thrifting can be a great way to get to know someone. And who doesn't like inexpensive junk? You can learn a lot about someone from what type of crap they are attracted to. Pogo stick? Toaster? Barbra Streisand on vinyl? Ideally, plan to visit a thrift store that is near a nice restaurant or bar, so you can sit down and examine your loot over drinks and a meal.
Nothing gets a date rolling better than some of the ol' social lubrication. Ah, booze, how i require thee. But really, visiting a brewery or vineyard can turn out to be a really great date. You get free alcohol, usually of very high quality, and you learn all about how it was made in the process. You're not an alcoholic, you're cultured!
One really fun and creative date idea is attending an improv show. Each show is completely unique, because, you know, its improvised! So, your date is ensured be at least somewhat unique as well. Also, improv is participatory... Why simply observe the entertainment when you can be a part of it? After all, looking like a fool can be charming.
If the season is right, take your date out to a farm or orchard and pick your own produce. The ride will most likely be scenic, providing some ideal time to talk and flirt. Once there, you and your date can enjoy sauntering around the beautiful terrain, collecting fresh veggies. If you know how to cook, it might be a natural continuation to take the produce and your date back to your place for dinner.
Netflix is a dating gift from the gods. If you are on your third or fourth date, and things are going well, you may be stuck for ways to get things a little more private without sounding too forward. It's tricky! This is where Netflix has really made things easy for you. With Netflix, you can always have several movies just waiting back at your place. If you're dating someone new, try to always have at least one movie that you think your date would enjoy as well. When the time is right, casually mention that you have some movies from Netflix back at your place that could be fun to watch. This is a nice way to invite a lady over without being explicit.
It's very attractive to seem as though you're "in the know". This proves you're not a shut-in weirdo with a cat named pickles. So, check your local papers, or browse the internet for good festivals and happenings to attend. Now, it's best, though not necessary, if you and your date have at least some interest in the theme of the event. But, most festivals have mass appeal. I mean, who doesn't like jazz? Get your face painted, buy a corn dog and gear up for some excellent people watching.
SUNDAY. SUNDAY. SUNDAY. Meet GRAVEDIGGER! believe me, nothing brings two people together more than feeling like you're the only two sane people left on earth.
If you and your date share a common interest like, say, painting, try turning that interest into a date. This creative dating idea can be a great way to showcase your own talent while providing an opportunity to judge the creative capacity of your date. There are several types of specialty stores that can cater to this type of date:
The great thing about making something on a date is that long after the date is over, you'll have a physical memento of the (hopefully) great time you had.
It may seem like common sense, but its worth mentioning. When planning a date, always keep in mind where you will be during the sunset. Sunsets are romantic, purdy as hell, and free. So, take advantage! When walking or driving around your city, try to note good places to watch the sunset. When you're planning a date, see if one of these locations will fit into the natural itinerary of the date (somewhere between the monster truck rally and dinner i presume...) These types of pit stops can really make a date stand out. But don't overdo it... You don't want to come off as though you're trying too hard. Be prepared, but keep it spontaneous.
