Arcade

Revisit your childhood by taking in an arcade. Most arcades have a good combination of the classics from you past as well as the most contemporary games of the present. Go head to head in Mortal Combat or test your virtual driving skills. Regardless, you will have a blast – especially if you trade your tokens in for a prize especially for her.

Bowling

Want a laugh? Go bowling together. Some bowling alleys have special programs at night such as “Rock and Bowl,” or simply stick to the basics and compete to get the first strike. Be sure you leave your overly competitive spirit at home, though. This is fun, not battle.

Casino

Now you have a lucky lady to blow on the dice, why not use her? Head to your nearest casino and experience the adrenaline rush of gambling together. Try high stakes, if you dare, or laugh together over nickel slots. It doesn’t matter so long as you’re having fun!

Horseback Riding

Horses can be the perfect way to travel. Try taking in the beach sights or the rolling hills on horseback. If you are brave enough, you might even find a stable that allows cantering, and then ride through the wind together in a perfect approximation of western style.

Zoo

Think back to your childhood and remember your love for animals. Take your date to the zoo and exclaim over the antics of monkeys or take in a dolphin performance. Feed peanuts to the elephants and perhaps to each other.

Frisbee or Frisbee Golf

Beautiful green spaces beg for peaceful activity. Find an open space and throw a Frisbee around, or if you prefer additional structure, take in a game of Frisbee golf. Again, save the battle spirit for your buddies, this is supposed to be fun.

Batting Cages

Pounding a few balls in the batting cage can relieve stress and release endorphins. Get a natural high while you perfect your swing – or hers.

Amusement Park

Move over Mickey! Roller coasters and water rides are a blast. Be a child for a day and spin yourself silly, then stuff yourselves with funnel cake and cotton candy. You and your date will love every minute of it.

Sporting Event

Have a favorite team? Take in a game, or see a sport you haven’t tried before. Sit behind the glass at a hockey game or learn the finer points of roller derby. Of course, beer and hot dogs are a must for watching any event.

Video Games

Do you have a game system? Invite her over for a taste of the “other side.” Rent a game together and sit back with a pizza while you battle demons together or take Mario to the next level. You never know, she might decide she likes it enough to play with you instead of nagging about it later on.
