I have lived in many cities, and the places people take their dates really suprises me! I mean, what girl wants to say "supersize me" when she is trying to impress her date? What guy wants to try 10 times harder to get to second base? So here--- I made a list of places for all you "daters" and even the reclusive married ones out there!

Go here------->

1 . To a flower garden or botanical gardens. Check with your local park and forestry and get out there for a walk and fresh air. Guys--the flowers are free.

2. To a live show. Try a local playhouse and get some tickets! Music, movement, and laughs are always a plus.

3. To an authentic restaurant of any kind.....find out by going in and feeling out the environment first--or just by word of mouth. Authentic food always wins over re-heats.

4. Shoppes and chocolate....find out an area where there are both--and pick out a few candies to try--while exploring a new area.

5. Go-Kart racing is always a blast. There are places that do pizza, games, put-put, bowling and of course--the fast cars! Its a rush.

6. Take an introductory dance-lesson. Free and challenging too. Note: If you don't like to sweat--don't try this one.

7. Rent a double seat-bicycle or for the daring--a motorcycle. That way you can build the trust. ;)

8. Paint pottery at a local ceramics shop (where classes are held). Believe it or not--art is fun for everyone and go out for some icecream later--see how much fun you have!

9. Find a cozy coffee-house. There are these shops in every town and they are usually locally owned. Nothing against Starbucks--just trying to relax and get a bit of privacy....but even if you dont drink coffee they might have something tasty to try or just a good tea.

10. Double-dates are always a good idea. There are more ideas between two than four. Bonus: you can leave with your friend if its not working out!
