date idea: Go on a date with someone without ever leaving your respective houses! Stay on your computers and go out at the same time!
So, in this date you and a partner will sign on to Skype or another site and start your date there! Still attempt to do "normal" dating activities, but don't leave the house!
ideas:
-Watch the same movie at the same time.
-Order food together from a restaurant that delivers.
-Play a game (cards, chess, etc.).
-Cook a dessert!
This is obviously a date that long-distance couples do often! However, there are SO many ways to be creative with it.
for example:
Dress up in nice formal wear. Meet for Skypin' at 7pm; don't be late!
Travel online to exotic destinations (Paris, Rio, Hong Kong, etc) via informational sites.
Have a friend drop off food that you made at your date's house around 7:30pm.
Watch a movie together (have a friend drop off a copy with the food).
status: UNATTEMPTED.
Now I've made online dating even more lazy. Go me.

The Silent Treatment
date idea: The entire date you spend in silence, finding different ways to express yourself than talking!
You go out on a date with everything planned out in advance like where you're going and what you're doing. Then on the date you go out of your way NOT to talk to each other, instead try to communicate in other ways. Try to avoid using the written language as well.
ideas:
-charades
-hand gestures
-drawings
-maybe if you're really adventurous/creative, you could bring a small instrument to express yourself.
-sound effects
-fake languages/languages the other person doesn't understand
BE CREATIVE!!!
bonus: If you DON'T plan on what you're doing in advance. This will force you to get creative about ways to express yourself and figure out what you're doing next!
extra-bonus: if you can figure out ways to communicate with other people (servers, etc) without talking!

-I've had many an awkward-silent date, but it's never been intentional.

Date Against The Grain
date idea: Your date consists of trying out the unusual or atypical aspects of normal date locations!
So, you and a date decide on some cool date spots: a hip restaurant, a dive bar and/or a cool movie theatre. Then, you try out the things that those places AREN'T known for! Basically you're going against the grain at the common locale.
for example:
-Going to a movie theatre and playing video games in their arcade!
-Going to a bar and ordering custom non-alcoholic mixed drinks!
-Going to a fancy restaurant and ordering from the kid's menu!
status: UNATTEMPTED
-I'm pretty sure that these are all activities that I do on a regular basis anyway, so I guess it's sort of attempted!

Scavenger Date [DOUBLE DATE]
date idea: So, you and your mate find a friend and a friend's mate and go on a scavenger hunt doing date activities that the other team picked!
Each couple will be a team and each team will make a list of date activities for the other team to accomplish in one night. Unlike a regular scavenger hunt, the activities are date-centric, or at least date related. Set a time frame and a number of items, then both teams will see who can get the most accomplished in the course of the date. Bring a camera and document the adventure to see which team had the best stuff!
date scavenge ideas:
-I'm just going to turn my next scavenger hunt game into a date, unbeknownst to my fellow scavenger hunters...

An Ugly Date
date idea: This date explores ugliness through activities of the daters that are traditionally found unattractive.
You and your partner both wear outfits that are commonly found unattractive (sweatpants, etc.). Then, you go out to a dinner that's really messy. Then you do a date activity that is far from sexy (playing saxophone, etc).

-I'm sure I've looked pretty ugly on dates, but never intentionally, so it hardly counts!
