Strange First Date Ideas
by Rick Fulks
Dating really sucks sometimes. Boy meets girl. Boy takes girl out to dinner. Awkward silences ensue. Hopefully the meal was good even if the conversation wasn’t. Afterwards you say goodnight and all you have left to look forward to is another date– just like this one–with a new person. I bet you can’t wait.
Maybe the cure for the dating doldrums is to spice things up a little bit. Do something different, something maybe even a little bit crazy. You’ll certainly have some stories to tell afterward, hopefully with your friends rather than with the police and media.
Do you think you and your date are up for some adventure? Good…here are some ideas to get you started.
Meet for your first date in a cemetery.
At night.
Think about this a little—it has all the makings of a great first date.
You’ll be alone so you can talk in private. Walking in nature is great for your mood. If you run out of small talk you can read gravestones together—or talk about how scared you are. And if things go really well, you are already alone in the dark together. Who knows what can happen from here.
If you tell your friends ahead of time about this, expect them to tell you how stupid you are. Maybe they are right. But they don’t know him like you do. They didn’t read his profile or those three e-mails you exchanged. They also weren’t there when you talked on the phone and found out you both like Lost, Carmel macchiatos, and had cats named “Mittens” when you were kids. Don’t listen to your friends; trust your instincts on this one—especially if he is cute.
The cemetery isn’t for everyone, so another crazy first date is the beach.
A nude beach.
What could be more fun than walking naked along the beach while strangers stare at your assets? This could be the new speed dating. Find out in a short time whether you have chemistry and attraction. Normally you first do the conversation thing before you can even think about making it to second base. With a nude beach, you’ll be almost all the way home if things go well.
Guys—your lady is analyzing everything about you on the first date. If you go to the nude beach with her…try and stay out of the cold water.
Good luck with these date ideas. We expect a full report the next day.
