Date idea

SpherickSpherick Registered User regular
edited April 2009 in Help / Advice Forum
Ok, so I went on a few dates with this girl already, but im running out of things to do.

The reason for this is that she has some mild panic attacks if shes around a lot of people she doesn't know.

So if we want to do something - it needs to be somewhat sparce place without a lot of people.

Things we've done before is - walk on the beach at night (no one there), dinner at a small restaurant, and meeting for coffee (small place).

I really like this girl and want to spend time with her and I want her to be comfortable on the date, so im trying to think of things to do.

Note: I live in Florida and its pretty nice outside (specificially the Tampa/Clearwater area if you live in FL).

Thanks for any help you can provide - I have another date tonight with dinner followed by whatever activity I pick. So no pressure :)

    Go cycling together? That's pretty nice if you do it in a good area.

    how about a picnic? Mini golf? Rent a boat and go out and fish or something (that's pretty secluded and relaxing). Hell have a picnic ON the boat.

    Cook her dinner and spend the rest of the night watching kung fu movies cuddled together under a blanket on the couch.

    Go get ice cream and find somewhere nice outside to sit and talk, etc... Around where I live (Also florida, near the water) we have some places that are well lit at night right by the water so its not all weird, but is also nice and quiet.

    Also, if you have the culinary skills, cook her dinner at home. Just you two so no room for any sort of anxiety for her, and it's something you two could do together. Then get a movie or something to watch at home. Which I think is much better than a theater because you have the option to ignore the movie completely.

    That's all I got for ideas....

    I have this planned for the weekend.

    So tonight ill see if she wants to mini-golf after dinner and tomorrow if she wants me to cook her dinner and watch cheesy action movies (she loves them - another plus!)

    edit - I love cooking and have been doing so for a while - so this will work out fine

    Combine that with hilarious comedy, and you get Kung-Pow! Absolutely love that movie... Might not be date-y but worth a try if she's into that kinda stuff.

    Funny you mention that... I'm going on a date tomorrow to a rock climbing gym. Depending on the day and time, climbing gyms can sometimes be pretty crowded or scarce. It may or may not be the best date, especially if she isn't athletic and doesn't like working up a sweat.

    That said, it is a lot of fun, and I'm pretty excited about my date....

    Don't forget that there's nothing wrong with doing "repeats," either. If you two really had a good time at a coffee shop... do it again! You can usually "get away with" repeating things that you both like, or have a good time together, without being accused of "always wanting to do the same thing."

    With the additional bonus of standing on the ground, looking up at her, and making helpful suggestions,

    'Proceed upwards in a hand over hand, foot over foot, fashion' being a favourite.



    Love it as a pastime - Just make sure you rent her some proper rock boots, cause faffing about in trainers is full of fail and frustration.

    Now

    1: You are lucky - girl climbers tend to be mighty toned.
    2: Change the advice to more scornful stuff like:

    'Man (the fuck) up'
    'Reach a bit more'
    'If you fail now I'm letting you drop'


    On a more serious note :
    Do you know what sort of climbing you'll be going for? Bouldering/Top-roping/Leading?

    Yeah she claims she can climb w/o using the handles on some parts. Awesome.

    No idea what we're doing. We'll figure it out when we get there.

    Yeah, one of my favorite dates ever was walking to/on the beach, then sit on a towel and make out on the shore.

    Helped that she lived walking distance to the beach too.

    I think the fun part was when I was belay and i stopped her descent inches above the ground. So funny seeing someone kick their feet in the air wanting to go down.

    Also referred to as 'testicle crushing' - or maybe that's just my harness!

    I tied someone off once when they said they wanted to come down. When they realised I was serious they climbed the whole thing :D

    Technically it is more than one date because you then need to come back to bottle it and then think up excuses to drink it all.
