What are some great and original second date ideas you guys have had besides the usual dinner, bowling, etc?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Great second date ideas?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Comedy clubs!
But really I try and fit 2 or 3 locations/activities per date.

Tried searching through articles and tips, there isn't really much on it. There's mention of mini cart, amusement park, etc, but you can't do any of those in this winter season.
So any inputs from anyone?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

What do you like doing? Dancing? Listening to live music? Bring her in your world and do something fun, or just grab some drinks and bring her back like runner said.

This is after 2nd date but me and my old girlfriend used to go to a local arcade and just mess around on the games there.
Bearing in mind we were both 17 at the time though.
We'd start with bowling, then we'd do quasar, then move on to the games that didn't need booking in advance, pool, air hockey, interactive racing games like those skiing things you stand on, those electrick pole things you had to hold for as long as possible.
It cost a fair amount of money I have to say but once I'd paid for the first few things she would insist on chipping in.
And it was a lot of fun just messing around playing games and chatting, real ice breakers.
We used to do that quite a lot. Anyone know if that stuff would still work? (I'm 21)
