Tired of the classic dinner date? Shake things up a little and choose a date with a difference!

Published 20th May 2014

If you’re getting a little bored of the classic dinner date, and have found yourself going to the same restaurants, ordering the same food and having the same conversations, then why not shake things up a little? Check out a few of our alternative dating ideas...

1) Be a tourist!----------------

Admit it - you’ve been living in your hometown for a while now and you still don’t know where the museum is, you still haven’t climbed the church spire and you still haven’t visited that major tourist attraction that you tell all your out-of-town guests about. So this is what you need to do; grab your date, buy a map, and a plan a day exploring your town. It might not be Rome, but with a date by your side you’re bound to find some hidden treasures!

2) Lucky Dip------------

Open up your local paper and turn to the gig listings, shut your eyes and pick one. Not a live music fan? Do the same with restaurants, or even cinema listings. You could end up doing something really exciting and different or you could end up seeing a Barry Manilow tribute act at your local. Either way, it’s something to talk about!

3) Get Lost-----------

This one’s for the adventurous types. Pack a picnic and go for a walk – don’t even look at a map! Give yourself two hours to walk, talk and enjoy each other’s company before settling down to a picnic in the middle of nowhere. And then call a taxi to take you home….probably best not risk any direction based arguments on a romantic date.

4) Karaoke Booth----------------

There’s a new craze of the moment – private karaoke booths. It’s intimate, it absolutely gets rid of all inhibitions, they often come with a little button and telecom that you can order drinks through (very fun), and it gives you a chance to duet Meatloaf’s ‘I would do anything for love.’ What’s not to love?

5) Pub Quiz-----------

Admittedly, with just two of you the odds of winning are not so high BUT it’s a great way to find out how clever your date is and how well you work together.

So there we have it, 5 ideas to liven up your dates. Try one of them out and let us know how it goes!
