Update for Romantic Date Ideas

Hello all! Just want to keep everyone updated to whats going on with our romantic date idea blog. So far we have listed a few awesome date ideas, but I think the direction we're gonna be taking is to break the date ideas into different categories, you know, such as date ideas perfect for last minute, which we already have, and ideas such as first date ideas.

Well today I think we will cover some good first date ideas. Typically, your first date ideas will cater to a younger audience, like sixteen year olds, but there are times when you are older and have to start dating again, and we will try to throw some ideas in there for you too. A few things to keep in mind for first date ideas...

Rule #1 - Make it cheap!

Confusios says "Never spend money on another mans wife". I dont know if he really said that, but the main jist of it is this: Don't go spending your life savings trying to impress someone, because you might break up or never go anywhere, and then that person will just move on, thus wasting your money on somebody else's loved one. Now, if you're in the younger category, you probablly don't have a whole lot of money anyways which makes this rule an easy one. Now if your a bit older, mid twenties and up, you probably have saved a penny or two, or make decent money, and the temptation to "spend to impress" will be strong. Don't do it! Other then what was mentioned above, you want the girl, or guy, to like you for you. This will help you ditch the gold diggers and find someone that really likes you, not your money. If you make really good money, I would recommend spending a few hundred dollars on an old junker and using that to pick up your first date, or maybe borrow your friends car, if its crappy enough. If a girl, or guy, really like you, this will only enhance the evening.

Rule #2 - F is friends who do stuff together, U is for you and me...

This seems rather obvious, but your first date should focus on being awesome and FUN! Well duh, you're telling me. But you might be surprised at how many first dates are your typical, standard, boring dinner and a movie. Dinner, not such a bad idea, but for a first date, you definately dont want it super romantic, and don't forget rule #1, keep it cheap. Now as for a movie, stay away for the first date. You cant talk and you waste 2 -3 hours for the entire experience. Your first date should be awesome and is super important and will help you decide to go on date #2. Remember, if you can figure out what kind of person he or she is on the first date, you can eliminate a much wasted second date if the person truly isnt right for you. And let me tell you, you dont figure that out by sitting quitely next to someone for 2 or more hours. So remember, make it fun!

Rule #3 - Play hard to get

This is probably my favorite rule, and maybe the most important. My dad's rule back when he was dating was "If there wasn't a kiss on the first date, then there wasn't a second.". Now, the only reason I mention that is because it is the opposite of playing hard to get, and you should do the exact opposite, and it is funny. Now, in playing hard to get, you dont really have to try all that hard or do anything special, just don't try to make any moves, if you know what I mean, and resist any moves put on you, as hard as that might be. Now, a kiss on the cheek and a big hug would be ok, and at least let her know you are interested. Just resist the urge to go farther, which will be hard, I know, especially when shes the one putting on the moves. In the long run, it will be for the best, trust me. It will keep you in the drivers seat and she will have a lot more respect for you in the end, if you make it that far. And by that far I mean marriage.


Ok, now that we have set the rules, look for some of those fun first date ideas that we spoke of earlier coming soon. We will try to come up with at least 5 or so good ideas to start off with, which will be focused on fun and awesome date ideas instead of romantic ones. Once again, thanks for visiting our romantic date idea blog!
