Think Outside the Box
I have pretty much been on all the traditional dates you can imagine. You know, the safe and predictable ones. I know that I am not the only one who is tired of going to dinner and a movie for a first date, am I? I think it’s time we all shook things up a little.
Why not use the remaining weeks of 2009 to think outside the “dating” box and move out of our ridiculously safe (read: dull) comfort zones. Let’s all make a list of the most outrageous, non-traditional, completely out of your character date activities you can think of and then go do it!
We all need to participate so we can all report back to share how great/terrifying/outrageous thinking outside the dating box really is. We could even vote on who has the best idea and who was the bravest!
You know a great place to start? How about in a bull pen!
The Professional Bull Riders are charging in to town (har!) this weekend at the Gwinnett Center. Ladies, if you want to meet men you have to go where they have a good time. Events like this are filled to the brim with guys and yours truly will have an inside track: the hilarious and talented Flint Rasmussen.
I’m going to meet up with him on Friday for a quick interview to learn more about the sport and pick his brain on how to handle the manliest of men. I bet he could provide a lot of outside the box ideas, too, so I’ll be taking notes.
Who is up for the challenge? What kind of outside the box activity can you do with a date? What can you do that would be completely out of character for you?
What would you do if money were no object and you wanted to go the adventurous route for a date. Where would you go and what would you do?

Two things off the top of my head:
- Gun range
- Hockey game (I know this isn’t that outside the box, but this isn’t the first sporting event most brown people think of attending)
As far as money being no object, I’ll have to get back to you on that one… I do know that it involves a helicopter ride
Good topic WD… looking forward to some neat-o ideas

Oh and helicopter rides are for real, too. I was only 17 though and with a class.
Hmmm…if’ i had to choose a date where money wasn’t an issue…i’m thinking something that would include the Serengeti, and a van…hahaha…:)…jus sayin…i’m an adventure queen.

Good morning.
I realize more and more women are comfortable doing this, but I think a date to a strip joint can prove to be adventurous. Heck you might even inquire where the girls shop for their outfits. When you get back home with your SO you can incorporate some of the moves you memorized. Just a thought!

One idea for an adventurous date could be whitewater rafting. You could ride on the Ocoee River in Tennessee, just 2 hours north of Atlanta. While it’s not out of the box for me because I really enjoy the activity, it would be non-conventional for a date. But of course, it’d have to be with a woman who wouldn’t mind getting her hair wet…

I have done quite a bit of things that are not out of the character for me, but others seem impressed by those things. In fact I feel an adventure coming on in the next few weeks sometimes I have to get out of Atlanta.

Hey mqew! For a woman that has never been, I would think it may be adventurous (to cope with the new and unknown). Some women are not comfortable with another woman gyrating in front of them and their man.
If money wasn’t an object, I would like to be on the beach with a private chef cooking us seafood, serving us wine and fruit, dismissing him when we are finished eating and then taking matters into my own hands.

Dating is about INTERACTION so why guys still take girls to movies in the beginning is crazy because you really cant interact in a movie.
There are a ton of good out of box activities in Atlanta. I have brought dates to my bartending class which was a good and fun interactive activity.
Some good activities are:
1. Arrange for a flying lesson at Dekalb-Peachtree Airport. It takes alot of guts to go flying in such a small plane but shows adventure.
2. Explore a day in a city that is close by, drive to Birmingham, Charlotte, Savannah, etc and just wander around.
3. Take a cooking class together in a totally different cuisine (learn some cuban, japanese, brazilian, food).
4. Meet for a power lunch doing the work week. Take a couple hours to just hang out during the day to change up the pace before you go back to work.
5. Have a game party at your home with just you two. Tailgate watch the game and just enjoy the game if you have 2 sports people.
Hope these spark some interests!

Or since Christmas is coming around.. “for those who are in steady relationships” You can try a different approach besides buying the parents a gift. You guys can plan a day to make your own gifts together for your mom/dad. Something personal. It can allow you guys to go down memory lane and it can be quite intimate.

Also a good idea but it would depend on the spontaneousness, but just on a saturday, take a 1 day trip somewhere just to have dinner. Go to Airtran, book a cheap flight to somewhere close, and try a new restaurant neither of you have ever been to and just come back later. I know alot of people would be fearful to try that.

Chateau Elan is a great out-of-the-ordinary date. Hike the trail, take the cooking class and/or unwind to live music at L’Auberge (sp). They also offer wine tasting and tours of the vinyard. But if I could splurge, I’d like to try Napa or Sonoma next time.
If money were no object we would definitely do the private beach thing, and perhaps a safari tour of the NgoroNgoro crater.

The less traditional these ideas are, the more they sound like simply doing things that are fun with your SO, and less like a date-date. Like, not really a date at all, just going and having fun, in all extreme likelihood with someone you’re already well familiar with, if not in a relationship with. I suppose you can call fishing, a beach trip, or hiking a date, but it doesn’t sound like one to me. More like, what are you into today? Want to go hiking, a drive into the mountains? Let’s take a long weekend, do you like Rosemary Beach or Gulf Shores this time?
Speaking of beaches, I’ve decided after our last Caribbean trip that as far as beaches go, there is little or no reason to go anywhere but the FL panhandle. Those are among the best beaches in the world. Beaches on Aruba, Barbados, Curacao, even St. Maartens don’t even come anywhere close. St. Lucia was different, with black sand and all, and striking scenery.

I have to disagree. The traditional date would be going to a restaurant and sitting down to eat. How many times have people done that…or going to a movie.. yeah traditional but not really a good idea for a date IMO.
I’d rather go to a cooking class, have a picnic, go on a hot air balloon, or hiking on a trail. While it is out of the norm. I think the conversation would be a little more light and fun as oppossed to sitting at a restaurant. JMO

Movies make poor first or 2nd dates, because you just sit there and watch the movie, without much interaction. I suppose you can talk about the flick afterwards, but… big deal.
Having a nice meal for 1st, 2nd or 3rd dates (or later), on the other hand, gives a great opportunity to converse and get to know them a bit. You have to eat anyway, so why not? Dates don’t all need to be carnival rides, and frankly, hiking, beaches, etc. are more along the lines of being relaxing, not entertaining. I’d say that if it takes that much to amuse a person of interest or potential interest that they’re not interested in a nice dinner and whatever afterwards, then they’re probably not that much into me, but are rather just looking to be entertained. I’m not the entertainment committee.

It’s not about being entertained or having someone entertain you. We can both got to comedy show to be entertained.
Usually you talk on the phone before you get to the date. You try to grasp what kind of person you’re dealing with and what some of their general interets are. Now me for instance … I want to be come a teacher. So if my date said be ready around 11 or 12 we’re going out, and he takes me to volunteer at a school with children. I would be more than estatic. Or if my date knew that I enjoyed to cook, and he took me to a cooking class to prepare a dish that I’ve never tried before. I think that would make for great conversation.

abc the cooking classes we’ve taken have allowed me to see him interact with others, which does offer insight on a date. you still do the traditional sit-down meal when you’re done so there’s plenty of conversation time as well.
problem is, when you do the ‘interview’ date at the restaurant people are more apt to bring their reps. when you do something that’s active and engaging you are more likely to be your natural self – giving unplanned reactions and comments in that situation. that’s the REAL you … and that’s who i want to meet.

Kiss on the first date? When do I sex?
What about this probationary period?
What is a date? What isn’t?
Sht is just too freakin’ complicated
that seems like too much trouble.
Why do women put themselves under so much sheeyyyyyt and unnecessary stress!!
Guys??? we see her,we like her,approach and say hie,she likes u too,agrees to sexx today… Yessssssssss. She says No…maybe, next time.
No big deal…

Um, Melo – that was not a statement about the female state of mind only.
And certainly not mine…it was just a recap of conversation on this blog in the last few weeks – from both sides.

First Dates that I planned in the past….Dave and Busters, Malibu Grand Prix (Norcross), Bowling, Gun Range, Paint ball, Q-Zone (Laser Tag), pottery. Sometimes, I varied it by listening to the female’s interests. If she was a girlie girl, sweating activities wouldn’t go over well. In that case, high museum or botanical garden was more often used.
FYI, Viking has grilling and cooking schools. They are located in the Brookwood Shopping area on near the Amtrak Station on Peachtree Street (Near Wolfgang Puck express)

@czB, like your breakdown of the “interactive” date when cooking together.
I’m loving having all this office space to myself. Come January I believe I will have company so right now I’m taking advantage of my alone time, especially when boss is away!

Girl, you know I can change the rules…the reason I only count business days because on the weekend I am having fun eating plenty of food chilling.
I have done the hiking thingy and most of the dates people listed except for the money no object dreams…I really do not have those because I am planning for a few big events now. Listed below are just a few things I have done outside the box:
1. horseback riding- I go a lot and I love sunrise and sunset rides
2. day trips…hop on a plane catch a play or go eat a hotdog or something in a city I like…I am not big on driving so I have to fly.
3. racing…during breast cancer awareness I like to see what my car can do on the track
4. cooking classes
5. hiking
6. concerts, plays and sporting events out of town
7. Wine tasting
8. Massages (couple massages and a day at the spa)
9. apple, pumpkin and berry picking
10. Private pilot lessons
