Let’s be honest, dinner dates can be pricey and awkward. It’s stressful for ladies to figure out what to order. We can’t order a steak because then we look rude. Even though we want to order a salad in the hopes of fitting into our favorite skinny jeans again sometime in the next decade, we don’t because then we are the “rabbit girl”. Any meal that requires us to actually touch our food with our hands is messy and poses a serious spillage threat to the new top we just bought from Forever 21. Finally, our only other option is some sort of pasta dish that requires a fork, but the carbs look up mocking and laughing at us because we know that we’re eating 3 days worth of calories.
So, in order to avoid the stress (and extra calories) here are a few great date ideas for the New Year! Gentleman, chivalry still exists so here is a tip that will really impress your date! Chivalry Rule #1: Always offer to pick up your date! We have gotten so used to meeting halfway on everything, that it takes away from the specialness of the date. If she says no, trust me when I say that the fact you offered blew her mind and she is already impressed by you. Chivalry Rule #2: Plan the date. Don’t just pick a restaurant. Be creative and do something that’s different! If it’s a first date, go on a picnic and bring a frisbee, find a free concert in the area, try checking out an art show, or attend a professional sports game. If you don’t think your date will enjoy those options, check out a local museum and find a fun happy hour to go to after! Dating can be hard but if you’re doing an activity that doesn’t involve stuffing your face and wondering if there’s food in your teeth, it helps to take the pressure off.
Here’s the bottom line: if you plan a date that is out of the ordinary, it shows that you are extraordinary and extraordinary guys are keepers!
If you don’t like my ideas and are stuck on what do to, there’s this great thing called Google. It’s pretty awesome! Happy Dating!
