77 Things To Do a Date With
Posted on : 25-10-2009 | By : Kris | In : Dating & Relationships
Hey, I might have to get creative with this post. And don’t expect it to be very detailed, lol, I warn you right now. This is to give you a broad idea of things to do a date with. I’ll break it down into three categories – you choose which one you wanna go with.
I’ve actually gotten my best ideas for dates from an ebook. It’s called “Planning the Perfect Date” and it’ll work out just great for you, as well. It helped me really be spontaneous, and free with my dating, while at the same time showing lots of things I shouldn’t do.

Hmm… It may be hard going with three categories – I’ll go with A. Cheap Things To Do On A Date, B. Romantic Things To Do On A Date, and C. 10 Things NOT To Do On A Date.
Cheap Things To Do On A Date.
- Go to the movies
- Get pizza
- Go to outlet malls (or cheap stores like Urban Planet)
- Fishing
- Swimming
- Snorkeling
- Running/Jogging/Walking
- Scooters and/or bikes = fun times
- Write a song together
- Write a poem together
- Watch the sunset
- Go to the beach
- Get some drinks
- Buy some condoms
- When people stare at you two, yell out, “C*CK!” and point to your crotch
- Play d*ck-hold chicken – this is when you pretending you’re holding your wiener (holding your hand in front of you, basically) and walking up to people with your crotch pointing forwards, and possibly making sounds like you’re creeping up on them
- Climb trees
- Explore nature
- Explore downtown (if you have one… if you live in a small city, you’re SOL… (s*** outta luck))
- Movie night at one of your houses
- Go to Costco, and try all the samples – then afterwards go sit in the little garden furniture they have and eat
- Talk about the universe
- Go on a bus ride… Shh – at least I’m trying. It’s only a $1.40, anyways, and think of all the good times you’ll share
- Back to business – anyways, go to a pet store and check out all the pets
- Some more cheap ideas… Hmmm. Oh I got it, go two a playground and “double-date” on the swings! (Swing in synch with her)
- Go fishing
- Go to a party – don’t host one – attend it, that way you save money and you still get drinks
- … Find a way to get into parties, you may not be cool enough to hang with the cool kids (joking :p)
- Get together for a library trip, and do homework
- Go to a grocery store, and ride the shopping carts – come up with recipes before-hand, and see if you can grab the ingredients while barelling down the aisles. (Make sure you get your date to push the cart!) Afterwards, go cook for each other
- Play a card game…
- Truth or dare in the tree house
- Find out where Waldo is. I can’t find him…
- Try coming up with better cheap date ideas than me (make sure you tell me what they are)
I’m betting a lot of shy girls may not want to do some of these things… They may be into more romantic things. No worries, I know how to handle them (sort of). I dunno, I just start to feel very comfortable, then let that be a guide for me. They start to loosen up as well, then it all works out. =] Just keep that in mind when you’re going on a date – you chill out, then she’ll chill out.
It’s also very important to make sure the girl stops being so logical, and starts getting into the emotional mindset. This is HUGELY important – you don’t want her to be over-thinking everything, or something silly.
Romantic Things To Do On a Date
- Go for a nice, elegant dinner
- Attend a play
- If this isn’t your first date, then go back to the place where you did have your first date… But with champagne, and strawberries, and chocolate (or chocolate-covered strawberries)
- Cuddle
- Drink wine, while talking about each other
- Recite poetry to each other
- Candle-lit dinner
- Go to an art show
- Walk on a beach when the sun is setting – that’s always awesome… (Unless your beaches suck, and are rocky like mine -.-’)
- Sneak out of the house, and meet up like Romeo & Juliet
- Go whale-watching
- Take them out for ice cream, and just chat
- Casual coffee, with stimulating conversation
- God this is hard… Uhmm – Draw paintings of each other
- Cook dinner for each other (possibly combined with the grocery store idea I had mentioned before)
- Listen to slow jams
- Ballroom dancing
- Some other form of slow-dancing
- Attend a gala
- Pick them up some flowers, and give it to them at the beginning of the date – or maybe even in the middle of the date… Or the end. Holding flowers the whole time complicates things
- Surprise massage
- Cozy fire under the stars
- Drive-in movie
- Moonlight cruise
- Go to the spa
- City light
- Take dance lessons
- Rent out a boat
- Play a game
- Cuddle up together with a book on a cold day
- Overnight camping
- Go watch fireworks together
- Go on a double date
I felt a little less alive while writing those ideas on romantic things to do a date with… I may have to liven it up a little more with this last part.
10 Things NOT To Do On A Date
- Be racist and mean it
- Hit them in any way besides playfully
- Eat all their food when they go to the bathroom
- Break their stuff when you’re over at their house
- Be a jerk
- Only talk about yourself – be interested in talking about them, and acknowledge them for f’s sakes
- Never talk about yourself – okay… Come on, you’re losing out on a huge piece of the puzzle. Balance this out
- Dress in really bad clothing
- Have smelly breath – brush, floss, bring mints, whatever you need to do
- Steal from them
Obviously this is a massive list =) I’m quite proud of it – not bad for a days work. Just to din this idea into your heads, you need to be able to have fun on the first date, and second date – whatever date you’re on. You should also plan it out properly, and not have the girl thinking random things that aren’t about the date.
I actually went on a date once, and it literally was the Costco one. But I added in FutureShop, and Starbucks in there :p We hung out, when the date was over, I saw another girl I was seeing at the time. She asked me out on a date – and that was pretty funny. I think she got jealous? … I didn’t go on the date, but it was still nice to be asked. Lol
Really this is dating on a dime, you don’t have to have expensive things to do a date, you just need to have a good time! It’s really what it’s all about.
Until next time, hope you have a successful date,
–Kris
