What
makes one date cool and another, well, not so
cool? It probably is a lot of factors. It isn't
always driven by just "cool things"
like seeing the most popular band or going to
the "in" restaurant or art exhibit.
What might be cool date ideas to you and your
sweetheart might be very unique and personal
to what you and she thinks is cool.
But one goal you always have with each and
every date you have with your sweetheart is
to make that date as cool as possible. So
you want to find as many cool and fun date
ideas as you can so every weekend you can
do something new and interesting to keep your
dating life fresh and full of fun.
There are lots of clever and creative ways
to make your regular date with your special
someone interesting and new each week. You
don't always have to go to the mall or to
the movieplex and sit like sardines in a can
and watch the next big blockbuster snore fest
from Hollywood. With a little creative thinking,
you can come up with some cool date ideas
that will get you moving and having fun with
each other, not just sitting next to each
other.
There are some very inexpensive and simple
kinds of dates that many people overlook,
probably because they are so simple. You can
go to a park or public lake near town and
rent a canoe and enjoy paddling around as
the sun goes down. As long as you don't fall
in, you can even do a bit of romancing out
there on the water.
You can pitch a tent and camp together. Even
if neither of you is a roughing it type, camping
doesn't have to be that difficult and it can
be a big adventure if you don't do it very
much. And there is nothing like that campfire
for snuggling and feeling romantic.
What really classifies something as one of
those cool date ideas anyway? A lot of times
it's when you hear about the date idea and
you think it sounds really creative and interesting
and so you think, "Cool, I want to try
that." If you can tell it is something
that will bring a smile to the face of your
sweetheart, then you have yourself a great
date concept.
But there are two things that make an idea
for a new kind of date really cool and one
is you and the other is her. Your new sweetheart
wants to know you better. So if you have an
activity that you love to do, she would consider
it an honor to be invited to do that with
you.
Maybe it's an evening with your church group
or haunting the art galleries on the funky
side of town. But the thing that makes that
date cool is that you opened yourself up to
her. And that is what dating is all about.
As you have time to date that girl you like
so much, hopefully you have heard some of
her stories from her childhood and gotten
to know her personality some. You may find
out that she just loves amateur theater or
her favorite memory from childhood was going
to the circus with her family.
As you get to know your lover more and more
over time, store up those little tidbits about
her and what kind of date would really touch
her heart. Then you can do a bit of loving
scheming and land those tickets to a high
school play or find out when the circus is
coming and get really great seats. When she
squeals with delight when you show her the
tickets, maybe at the beginning of a date
she thought was going to be another boring
movie, you will know for a fact that you are
giving her the coolest date ever.
