Now that it's officially freezing cold outside (literally), I've been working on coming up with a list of good date ideas for the season. I'd like to see what ideas you all have too. I'm trying to avoid common cliche things like going to the movies/dinner/mall, watching a movie, ect. Those can be incorporated, but I like to do new things myself and differentiate myself from other people. So far:
-Indoor rock climbing
-Cooking a meal together... and not like Mac and Cheese... something new/exotic or a recipe you invented yourself. (or just making her cook for you... seriously)
-Ice Skating
-Building a fire, if you have a place to do so
-Ice fishing (I've never done this with a girl before, but if you know how, why not?)
-Hunting (Same as above. I think going out with a girl with a large gun and demonstrating your ability to kill another animal, skin it, and cook it would appeal to her primal instincts and show that you're a dominant man. Again, seriously.)
-I did the whole museum thing last spring, and I didn't care so much for that. I personally enjoyed it, but I'm a weird intellectual. Unless I found a girl I thought wasn't an idiot, I would probably save this for a non-first several dates date.
-I also hate bowling, but that's a commonly suggested one.
-Include her in a hobby of yours. Like, I could have the girl come over and help me make the bookcase I'm working on or bring her clarinet over and play the piano with her.
-Visiting a winery.
-Board/card games (seriously. Think about Pook's little kid frame)
-Skiing/snowboarding/sledding/building a snowman (if there's snow, of course. Or you have the money to go to a ski lodge)
-Learn something new with her... Like if you don't know how to make a bookcase, develop an idea of how to do so, get what you need and tell her to come over and do it with you.
-Photograph. Go for a drive and find pretty things/landscapes to take pictures of. Take a few pictures together. Send them to her.
-Toboggan Chutes
-Get a coloring book and crayons.
-Go to the pet store (I know this kind of sounds like the mall, but I think it's different, even if the pet store is at the mall. What girl wouldn't like to go in to a pet store and pet all the dogs/cats? If I was dating her, it wouldn't be cats though)
-Volunteer at a shelter/soup kitchen/charity event.
-Bundle up and take a nature hike.
That's all for now. I much prefer "action" dates to the crap most guys do. I would rather take a girl to the grocery store with me than I would to a coffee shop anymore.
