Date Libs

date idea: Create a 'Mad Lib' that tells a story of the date you're about to go on!

Basically, you're creating your own Mad Lib, but this one is about you and your date. You write it out, then ask your date for adjectives, verbs and nouns accordingly. Once completing the story, you read it back and then attempt to do the date!

for example:

A Date Story Definitely Not About Anyone We Know

[name of person in room] and [name of other person in room] love dining at the [adjective] [name of local restaurant] every time they go out. Before their [adjective] date, they often like to hang out and play [name of a game] at their house. Then, after they [adverb] play games and [adverb] eat dinner, they often like to go out to see [name of movie currently playing] at the [adjective] [name of local movie theater]. At the end of the night, the couple heads home to [verb] on the couch and watch [name of television show]. What a/an [adjective] time they must have!

Of course, depending on how good of a Mad Lib writer, the date could be too hard or too easy to really complete, but at least it's a fun way to pick date ideas... especially if you are bad at picking them yourself!

-Sadly, no one is quite [adjective] enough to do this with me!

Datecades. (or Dates of Decades is probably a better title)

date idea: This is a series of date ideas where each date reenacts a different decade.

Your date and you pick a decade and dress accordingly (poodle skirts for the '50s and other stereotypes). Then, you go to a restaurant that has been around since that decade (est. 1977, etc.). Then do an activity that relates to a particular period (like listen to jazz from whenever that was cool).

for example:

• One person wears hippy attire, the other wears a nice suit from the '60s like a total square.
• You go to a diner established in the '60s where one orders vegetarian and the other orders steak and potatoes.
• Watch a movie like 2001: A Space Odyssey or another famous '60s film.

OR

• Wear bell-bottoms and do nothing like in the 1970s.

There is a whole TON of possibilities, so be creative about it!

bonus: If you set up a series of dates where decades are attempted in order from 1950-present! So many dates!

-I think the 1980s date would be the most fun. You get to dress like punks and break things just for the hell of it.
