Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, in turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.

Pretend you've never met, then loudly try out lame pick up lines in a swanky bar. Act like they worked.

Create photo evidence suggesting you went on an adventure that didn't really happen.

Go for a drive. You can only make right hand turns. When you finally get stuck, turn around and then you can only make left hand turns. Repeat until you find something interesting. Take pictures along the way! Build forts out of furniture and blankets and wage war with paper airplanes.

Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books. Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.

Go on a walking journey and every 15 feet draw a chalk arrow in the direction you're going. At the end of the trip, leave a big pile of chalk.

Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have a great time! Hide and seek in the park.

With a camera and a pair of boots, make a photo log of the day in the life of the Invisible Man.

Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn.

Go for a drive with the passenger blindfolded, choosing directions at random. See where you end up.

Dress up as pirates,, and your shopping carts, and have a war upon the high seas, aka parking lot.

Go on a search for has many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence.

Rent a movie you've never seen before. Set on mute an improvised dialogue.

Dress up as superheroes and stop at least one petty crime crime. For example jaywalking or littering. And go to the airport, and get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for the weekend.

Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras.

In the middle of the night drive to the beach, so you arrived just as the Sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic then fall asleep together bring a Sun umbrella.

Grab a blanket and a thermos of hot cocoa, and enjoy the calmness of the morning hours together.

Recreate the classic scene from Lady and the Tramp and do some smooching over spaghetti and red wine at your favorite Italian eatery. -also buy (returnable) decorations for a foreign restaurant experience at home

Exploring new tastes together is not only delicious, it can also be very sensual. Consider attending a wine, beer, cheese or even chocolate tasting. Share with each other what you are tasting and give opinions about each bite. Bon appétit!

Grab a cozy blanket and a bottle of vino for nature's best and most forgotten-about date -- stargazing. A local park, beach or a high school football field is the perfect setting to absorb the wonder of the night above. If you are looking for a daytime version, cloudgazing is just as good.

Together visit your local thrift, vintage or dollar store. Set a low price tag limit, say $10, and a time limit, say 30 minutes. Split up with the mission of rejoining after having purchased your date that perfect something for them. Explain why you chose what you did. Explore the wonders of nature around you by taking an explorer's walk. Collect interesting things along the way such as leaves, flowers or rocks. Trace shadows. Draw favorite scenes. Frame or scrapbook your memories.

Apples, strawberries, blueberries, you name it… filling up a basket of juicy, sweet goodness is a great way to spend a weekend day. This date gets you out of the city and into the country allowing for a fun mini-road trip. Plus picking fruit can be very playful… and you will have a bushel full of yummies with which you can -- together or solo -- make a pie!

Marvel over dinosaur bones at the natural history museum. Trail behind a tour group to hear folklore from ancient Mesopotamia, and spend a couple of hours analyzing Egyptian artifacts. Once you've walked through all the rooms, grab a table at the café for sandwiches and intellectual-yet-flirty conversation. Sing your hearts out at a karaoke bar. Down a couple of drinks for courage while you peruse the song list. Belt out a crowd-pleasing favorite together, and then judge everyone else's performances à la Simon Cowell.

Get lost together in a corn maze. It might take hours for you to find your way through, but who cares! After you get out, warm him up with a cup of hot cider and some cuddling. Smell the roses at a botanical garden. Wind your way through manicured lawns and groves of blossoming trees, taking the time to sit near the fountains. Sip cups of tea at the outdoor café, and enjoy the romantic scenery.

If you’re creative types or like to think you are, why don’t you take your cameras out for the day. Choose somewhere of interest near you or a place you have always wanted to see, and go exploring with your camera’s. The goal is to capture your day and overall experience on camera from each of your different viewpoints. You can then edit the pictures together and have a visual memory of your day. You don’t need to be a professional to do this you just need two cameras.

Wine tasting clubs are springing up all over the place, so if your partner is fond of a drop of wine, why not take them for a wine tasting. Book either a 1-2-1 or group session, and go an experience some fine wines together and no doubt bring back a bottle or two to share. A nice memory is to light a candle in the bottle you bring back, and continue to light a candle on it when you’re together. This is a romantic date idea that you will remember in years to come as you watch the candle wax grow year after year.

Get him/her to tell you their top 3 old movies. Anything black and white, retro or from the eighties is always good. It's time to have a total movie fest. Get in lots of easy to cook food, put on your pjs and have a day spent reminiscing in front of the tv. Spend some time just being together and laughing. This can be just as fun as doing anything fancy.

Ice skating or roller skating in a rink for an hour is a good way to spend an afternoon together before you head off to do something else. It’ll bring out your date’s inner child and it’ll be a laugh too

A game of snooker or pool can be a good casual date, especially if both of you have some time to kill before heading somewhere else. It’s a lot more fun if you’re helping your date learn the game or if they’re playing for the first time.

For the star gazing lovers, nothing beats the peaceful setting of a reclined seat in a planetarium. It’s dark, cozy and a complete out-of-the-world experience!

Groove to sensual sounds at a jazz club. Sip martinis at a table for two, and tap your toes to trumpet solos and the thumping of a stand-up bass. You'll feel sophisticated and relaxed, and he'll be mesmerized at your beauty by the glow of candlelight.

There are so many one hour classes that are perfect for dates, be it pottery, glass painting, or just about anything else. Just make sure you go somewhere where you can finish the class with a souvenir.

If your date is into music or their favorite band is in town, don’t think twice. Your date will be grateful and love you for planning a surprise date to the concert.

Giving each other massages is a great way to spend a romantic night in together. Set the mood with scented candles, soft music and low lighting and take turns working out the kinks and making each other feel great.

Saturday market Holiday market Climbing on roofs at night Skinny dipping Drag boat races Roller Derby event Charter tuna fishing Corn maze Haunted house Truck bed lined with pillows and blankets under the stars Decorate your dining room to make it look like the inside of a fancy restaurant, then make a special meal and surprise your significant other Hot balloon trip

Ice skating, son.

I went grocery shopping last night. She's in college and I bought her some milk and a bottle of wine.

I drank the wine, she sucked my cock

100% of my dates are me doing something fun for me and her coming along for the ride.

Women love watching a man having fun, if she's attracted to him.

It's going to be in the 50s this weekend in Chicago, so I'm surprising the LTR with a Nerf football and a walk to the park.

What is something you enjoy doing a lot and feel like an expert in?

For me, it's going to concerts or shows. It's just a natural environment for me, as I love to dance and party.

The last girl I took wasn't very into these things, but if you can lead them through the experience and show them a good time that they didn't expect they were going to have... well that's pretty much the best date there is for getting them to be attracted to you.

I still cringe when I think about movie dates. I'm too old for the making out in movies thing... that was fun in high school. I would much rather go see a movie completely alone than take a chick, honestly.

Here you go m8, go wild!

excesssound · 2016-03-04T19:34:33+00:00

Hiking. Something active is always best.

Fusionnn · 2016-03-04T23:55:37+00:00

Stargazing is super great, bring blankets and a sleeping bag, always an instant fuck, super easy and if you know a few constellations it will blow her mind. I've seen a shooting star everytime I've gone and when they see those they get all super giddy over it.

BaconEggsAndSleaze · 2016-03-04T15:13:24+00:00

Pool hall

stonefit · 2016-03-04T20:13:52+00:00

My place.

Apexk9 · 2016-03-05T01:59:26+00:00

Dog park... even if you don't have a dog. Get coffee walk around enjoy the scenery.

Also get a hotel room. You want to move out and pay rent but can't spend 100 bux on a hotel?

Anything that doesn't cost you money or time.
