Whether you are hanging out with your boyfriend, or going on another date with that cute boy you’ve been crushing on, try some new date ideas for the summer! Not only will it be fun to try something new, but also less expensive, which can get you a very happy boy and possibly a second date! I’m not saying to be a cheap date of course, but fun doesn’t have to come along with a big wallet! So instead of responding “I don’t know” when he asks, “what do you want to do today?”, blow him away with some of these ideas that will only make him want to stick around longer.
* Watch a spring training baseball game. Grab some nachos with cheese and hot dogs and you’re good to go! (Watching a sporting event can make your date laid-back and entertaining.)
* Make homemade ice-cream or bake a cake. (When your baking with someone on a date you can learn about your date’s sweet tooth and enjoy some yummy treats too… who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too!)
* Try rollerblading or bike riding. (Rollerblading around the neighborhood is not only free, but your boy can help you up when you’re “free falling” in front of the neighbors, making him think he is so strong… Then show him how it’s done when you beat him while racing on the bikes later!)
* Go for a picnic at the park! (Picnics are great for a short sweet date to enjoy some tasty food and getting to know each other. Maybe tell the guy that each of you has to bring your favorite lunch to share, who knows you could end up trying something new …or they could even end up the same! The park is a smart choice for a first date because you can always people watch during that awkward silence.)
* Make it a group date and play board games. (Might sound cheesy, but it’s actually a cleverly fun idea! Besides having this be a casual dating event, this is also an opportunity to casually ask that guy you have been crushing on out and have fun while doing it. So call up your girlfriends and tell them to bring a date to your house Friday night!)
