I've always thought that it was important that if you are going on a date you need to have some type of plan. I hate dates where they pick you up and say..."ok, what do you want to do?". I don't know you asked me if you wanted me to choose let me now and I could have put something together. Are you serious. Anyways a bit of a pet peeve of mine obviously.
I dated this one guy and well he was pretty amazing. And anytime we went out He always had a plan. ALWAYS! They were sometimes cheap and just fun and other times he had put out a lot of money and thought. I loved going out with him because of that. It made me feel like he really cared about me.
So this post is dedicated and inspired by him. Below are a list of fun date ideas that I have come up with. Some are really cheap others take some more planning. There are a few for groups and a few that you will need to check your neighborhood for. Remember, if you put a little time and effort into it then it goes better all around and the results are better. Have fun!
