DATING TIPS

Making it past the first date is always an important milestone. But what do you do now to keep the momentum going? Here are five novel ideas for a second date to ensure you make it to date #3 and beyond.
  • Idea 1 - Miniature Golf: Mini-golf is a sports activity, but it really doesn't require tremendous dexterity to have some fun. You can make friendly wagers on the score, award a harmless kiss for any holes in one, and maybe even share a romantic moment when you putt together.
  • Idea 2 - Pottery Class: Maybe this idea works because it brings back memories of that scene in "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Building something simple together like a cup or vase immediately creates an artifact from your date, like a first tangible memory together.
  • Idea 3 - Ice Skating or Roller Skating: Here's
    “an activity that naturally lends itself to holding hands”
    an activity that naturally lends itself to holding hands, especially if one of you is less than a natural on the rink. Take it slow, no triple axels please, and do lap after lap until you're ready for a hot chocolate to wind down.
  • Idea 4 - A Tour of Your City: Just because you've lived in your town for several years doesn't mean you know everything about where you live. Take a double decker bus tour together, particularly one that lets you hop on and off at different spots. You'll see the whole city in less than a day and build experiences together all over the city.
  • Idea 5 - Make a Smoothie: Don't think alcohol right away -- a delicious smoothie can be made with just fresh fruits. You'll be making something together, choosing ingredients as a couple, plopping it all in the blender, and then literally enjoying the fruits of your labor.

these are awful ideas. The pottery class come on most women are not into this.

It&#39;s different than what most people would think to do. Especially if your underage.

Sounds like this is for the on line dating crowd...no creativity or imagination. I agree with #11 that if you need to resort to finding a &quot;friend&quot; on line you may as well hang it up!
