creative date ideas

Found this while cleaning out my closet.

-Go and plop down on some big ol couch in Barnes and Noble and read some children's books or simply grab some of your favorite magazines and hang out wihile sippin' on some coffee.
-Make a picnic lunch, take a blanket, and go out to a park or nature reserve. Afterward,s take a walk and actually talk to each other.
-Go horseback riding. Find some stables nearby and pay for an hour, maybe take a one time lesson together or something.
-Go workout together at a gym.
-Dave and Busters. You'll want to save up some cash for this one. It has the coolest biggest video games around, a nice restaurant, and a sophisticated atmosphere. Lots of virtual reality type stuff. A Chuck E. Cheese for teens and adults.
-Speaking of Chuck E., take a couple kids to Chuck E. Cheese for the evening and let their parents go out on a date. You'll have just as much fun as the kids plus get some good pizza...plus...give some parents a night to themselves.
-Go sledding. More fun with snow.
-Stay in and make chocolate chip cookies together. No slice and bake. Then give them to family or friends.
-Make dinner for each other.
-Go out on a progressive dinner. One place for appetizers, another for salad, another for main course, and then dessert. They don't have to be fancy...you could go to the Target cafe for nachos for appetizer, Wendy's for a side salad, go to Bagel Cafe for sandwiches, then Dairy Queen for dessert.
-IMAX.
-Play a board game with parents. It may sound corny, but it's a good thing to spend time together with your parents.
-Bust out the card deck and play some rummy, war, slap jack, crazy 8's, UNO, Phase 10, euchre, hearts, spades, etc.
-Rent a video game that you both will enjoy playing. Ladies, be excited about it.
-The Dollar Movies!
-Take your little brother or sister out with you wherever you go for the evening. They'll keep the evening more interesting.
-Go to a batting cage.
-Go on a double date with your grandparents, have them tell you stories about when they dated. Take advantage of the time you are blessed to spend with them and make the most of opportunities to hear stories that you'll want to pass down to your kids and your grandchildren some day.
-Golf ball driving range!
-Tackle all the local thrift stores like GoodWill and Salvation Army and pick out outfits for each other. Usually you can find some really cool stuff really cheap.
-Go online and play games at sites like www.uproar.com
-Take a tour of an art museum, or a special exhibit with ancient artifacts like Egyptian Mummies or something.
-If you have a friend who plays on the school tennis, wrestling, basketball, baseball, volleyball or whatever team. Go watch one of their games...cheap entertainment and it will mean the world to your friend.
-Have a nght where you give each other different hairstyles. Take some mousse and some gel and a hair dryer and start creating. Temporary hair coloring anyone?
-Double date with youth minister and his wife.
-Go out and buy a couple of cheap kites, go to the park, and fly them together.
-Playgrounds anyone?
-Make up your own holiday and buy each other something.
-LASER TAG
-Wash your cars together!
-Ice skating
-Serve the community - soup kitchen, nursing home, deliver food to sick friends.
-Take a video camera out with you for the evening...Record people you drive up next to, go to friends' houses and surprise them. You never know what could happen. Afterwards go back and watch it. They are usually holarious.
-Rent a limo with 8-10 of your friends and drive around for a couple hours...go to McDonald's or something random.
