Themed Dating

date idea: Take your mate on a date with a theme... simple enough.

The date involves activities that are all related in one way or another. They could be based on the type of activities or something connecting all activities like a word or idea. Really, the theme could be anything and what makes the date interesting is that there is endless variation to the event.

For Example:
1. You serve your date either chicken or fish (or chicken or fish substitutes) that you have prepared yourself in a seemingly pre-packaged tray covered in cellophane.
2. Then, you go out to listen to music or go dancing at your nearest sky bar.
3. You end the night by taking your date to an overlook of the city at night.

-I want to take someone out on this date and not tell them the theme of the date. Then at the end of the date make them guess the theme. If it's a first or second date, maybe a kiss would be a good prize for the right theme...

A Streetdate Named Desire...

date idea: Take your date out for a night literally "on the town..."

The evening is spent doing fun date activities, but doing them on the street instead of in proper venues (i.e. setting up a candlelight dinner in the middle of a pedestrian area). This date is sweet because it can be very inexpensive, but still very, very fun and memorable. It just requires some planning and timing!

activity ideas: 

-Dinner on a sidewalk

-Dancing to street musicians

-Outdoor movie, drive-in style (or with a laptop)

For Example:

I'd set up a nice outdoor dinner somewhere downtown or in a moderately public place. It can't be too busy because it'd be too distracting. Then, after an outdoor dinner, we'd go dancing to either street musicians (make sure to bring some money for them!) or even to the car stereo. The more public of a place this one is, the more fun it would be. Finally, I'd set up a movie to watch outside and have the sound coming out of the car stereo... real nice.

bonus: 

-You set up a screen and projector for the outdoor movie like a real drive-in theatre. 

double bonus:

-You convince friends to be your waiter outside at dinner. Classy.

-It's hard to find the time to plan out this sort of date. Plus, there is the possibility of it going horribly wrong because of all the external variables such as weather, crazy/annoying passerbys, etc... still, it would be TOTALLY worth it.
