Guest Post – 5 Unconventional Dates
Dinner + Movie = Dead. Yes, I’m saying it. In 2008 it’s all about thinking outside of the box. Women want alot of things, but at the top of the list there’s probably a little section stating “to date a guy who is NOT like all the other fish in the sea”. You want to be that shark… or tadpole. Whichever way you may float, here are 5 alternatives to the dinner/movie combo.
1. The Walkabout: Who says you need a destination in mind? In this case, it’s all about the journey. If you’re living in an urban area, you can walk around with your companion and start exploring the wonder that is your city. Go to that little bar that the tourists don’t know about. Any local spots that you know about are fair game. Besides, you’re hopefully in good company and that’s the most important part.
- Watch Your Feet
2. The Club: I know what you’re thinking; it’s bringing sand to the beach. Not necessarily. Think of it as a way to getting physically close without having to go all the way with it. And they say if you can dance you can… get hungry enough to demolish the nearest pizza place.
- The Bar.
3. The Bar: You have drinks and you have games. If your girl likes competition, by all means bring it. Pool (one of my personal favorites) darts, even who’s beating who in the night’s sport brings people together in remarkable ways.
- Speak Ya Clout
4. The Lounge: Music and poetry says too damn much about people. If a local band, comedian or arteest is performing, checking them out might work in your favor. It shows that you pay attention to the little things. And that’s what counts… right?
- The Picnic
5. The Picnic: I’m throwing this in because it’s unconventional enough to work. There’s daylight outside (or night if you roll like that), fresh open air and food. I said no dinner in the formal 5-star restaurant sense, this doesn’t mean you don’t eat! Setup some fruits, chicken (a must unless one of you is vegan but i’m biased) and a variety of bite-sized foods. Lay back, get your tan on but it’s most important to bask in each other’s company. Because if you’re not enojying yourself, what’s the point?
There are way more suggestions I could give you but I’m keeping it to five. Besides, every magician needs to keep a trick up their sleeve. Get inventive. Don’t be “those other guys”. Most of all, have fun with it!
Leave your thoughts… Get at me.Good luck.
