Out of the box dating
Dating does not have to be limited to movies, dinner, and occasional other activities. Think out of the box, and you will have a lot of fun. The following are some great ideas for out of the box dating:
Fairly tale dates: sounds pretty good huh? This is a really fun way to go on a date. What you do is you pick out a classic story book, and follow the story line while on your date. So, if the princess walks through the woods, go on a hike. If they eat a feast, go out to dinner. If they dance, turn on some music and dance. You spend time together doing what the prince and princess do. The story dictates the evening.

Make a movie: maybe instead of watching a movie you could make one. Write a little screen play and have a good time. You can be overly dramatic, or you can simply read the script. Either way, you will be rolling with laughter, and enjoying some popcorn, when you start your premier. You can reenact scenes from your favorite movies, or make up your own. It may sound dumb, and be uncomfortable at first, but it will be a lot of fun.
Dancing: a great out of the box date is to take a dance class together. Dress up nice, and learn how to meringue or salsa, or some other dance named after food. It will be fun, and a change from the usual. Then, once you learn, you can take it to the next step and go to a club for your specific dance type.
Baby sit: a great date idea is to, as a couple, baby sit for someone else. Do you have a sister that has kids? Give her and her husband a night out, and make the kids night fun. Get a great movie, bring lots of junk food, board games, and your PJ's. It is amazing how fun kids can be once you get past the annoying questions and interruptions.
Scavenger hunt: a really great out of the box dating idea is to go on a scavenger hunt for date materials. Ask for a movie, treats, dinner ingredients, etc. Then meet back at a specified time and location and see what kind of date you get.
Boat racing: go to a dollar store and buy plastic boats, then find a stream, drainage ditch, or canal and set the stakes, loser buys dinner, winner gets to choose the movie, winner gets to choose the place for dinner, etc. Not only is it fun, but it is a little competitive.
When it comes to out of the box dating it really does not matter what you do. The point is to do something unique, and to mix things up a bit. The truth is, going out to dinner, seeing the newest movies, etc. are fine dates, but having this be the only date you go on can get old. So, rather than make your dating life boring, try some out of the box dating. From horse back riding, to backward dinner where you eat dessert first, it really makes no difference what you do as long as you are unique and make it fun.
