Your first date with Mary Jane is next Friday and you are trying your damnedest to prepare for it. Of all the things you must take care of -- what to wear, how to smell, choosing the right time and so on -- what is the most important thing to remember?
You need some date ideas: As taught in every business class around the world, the most important thing to remember is location, location, location.
Where to go?
No matter how much you try to look your best and spit-shine your car for that extra gloss, you are only as good as what you have to offer. This means that the slickest and smoothest talker has to follow up with fun and original date ideas.
Remember the saying, "Actions speak louder than words?" Well, it couldn't be any truer in this situation. You might rant about how much you enjoy extreme sports and living life in the fast lane, but when the first date comes around, inline-skating starts to seem like a pretty tame and unoriginal idea.
What does this say about your personality? It mainly shows that you are not who you claim to be, not to mention that you don't seem to be that much fun from the get-go.
Bronze date ideas:
1. The beach is beautiful
If you're the type who likes to see what she's all about right away, then take her to the beach. This is the perfect way to enjoy the sun, show off your new swimsuit and see what she looks like in a bikini. And if all else fails, there is still enough eye candy to keep you busy.
2. 8-ball corner pocket
If you feel like you're the best thing to happen to billiards since the cue-stick after seeing Tom Cruise in The Color Of Money , why not invite her to play some pool with you? This is an interesting setup to secure a second date.
You can raise the stakes by saying, "Whoever loses the game must cook supper for the other." And just like that, you've got yourself a second round of love.
3. Mini-me golfing
If you can't tell the difference between a wedge and an iron, maybe miniature golf is the way to go. A cheap and fairly easy "sport", it allows for some physical contact when you have to give her a crash course on how to hold the putter.
4. Long live rock & roll
Although first dates should emphasize conversation in order to get to know each other, some loud music and screaming people might be another alternative. Let's say your favorite band comes to town for one night only, which is incidentally the same night you are supposed to go on your first date with the girl, then take her to the show and kill two birds with one stone.
5. I'm going to Disney World
Even if amusement parks are generally aimed at children, who says that grown adults can't engage in some childish fun? Take her for a spin on the Ferris wheel, win her a big ol' teddy bear, and she will not have a chance to get bored.
If you want to treat her to a more elaborate and impressive date, use the Silver and Gold first date ideas.
Silver date ideas:
6. Picnic by the water
A good date need not involve a second mortgage on your home. It can simply be a quiet get together that allows for stimulating conversation. It can also be a good showcase for you to show off your sandwich-making skills and your sangria expertise.
7. Vegas baby, Vegas
Just imagine going to the casino with your woman and having her blow on your dice? It's a nice feeling to double-down at Black Jack and come out of there with a pocket full of cash. But beware: easy come, easy go. And I'm not only talking about the money.
8. Miniature F1
Why not test her driving skills? F1 karting is an exciting and fairly cheap way to test her road abilities and take her for a ride. You can pretend that you're Michael Schumacher and that the F1 Babes are cheering you on!
9. 19th hole
Golf may be one of the most relaxing sports you could engage in with your date. You can show off your Tiger Woods-like expertise golf tips.
Remember that non-sweaty activities are the way to go because your woman won't want to feel sticky and gooey . This might put a damper when you're going for par, if you know what I mean!
10. Talk to the hand
Women love to know about the future, their karma and all that mumbo jumbo. Get her palm read and have her find out if somebody close to her is going to win the lottery, or if a new love is coming into her life. If that's the case, then it will save you plenty of headaches, not to mention dollar bills, as to whether or not she actually likes you.
Gold date ideas:
11. Going for a stretch-ride
If you want to impress your date with a great night on the town, literally, then why not take her along for a ride? Imagine having the sunroof of the limo open and sticking your head out at every traffic light to make sure your buddies see you.
12. Top of the world
Bringing your date to the highest point in the city can be exhilarating for both of you. Some hotels, restaurants or buildings have roof top terraces for people to enjoy -- especially at night.
13. Mean, lean, fine cuisine
Sometimes a simple house date with some gourmet-catered food and drinks is the way to go. Impress your woman with fine cuisine prepared by a fine cuisine chef. It might cost some extra money, but at least there's a chance that you won't have to drive her home!
14. Massage this...
Although this requires some planning, escaping the busy urban life and going to an out-of-town resort might be the best thing. Imagine getting a Swedish massage, enjoying the sauna, jumping in the Jacuzzi, all while looking over the beautiful scenery.
This date is a surefire success. But beware because a date like this one will be difficult to top.
15. "High" in the sky
There is nothing like looking at people from a bird's eye view, floating above the city with her hanging on to you because she is afraid of heights. While you're at it, why not hawk a loogie and see what happens? On second thought, that may not impress her too much.
