7 Fun Date Ideas That Easily Beat Sitting Around in a Bar

For many people, a date is just a means of getting together with someone. But some people want dates to be a little bit more exciting. They want dates that have as much action as talk—sometimes more so. AskMen has compiled a list of fun date ideas for every type of vibe.

1. Attending events 

Going to an event can make for a great date night. You and your date get to live a one-off experience together. An open-mic comedy night at a hole-in-the-wall bar will give you dozens of things to talk about after the show.

2. Visiting places

Art museums, libraries, used bookstores, and art galleries are great places to explore with a date. If you’re more literary-minded, you can also try going to a library or bookstore and reading passages from your favorite books.

3. Competing with each other

Playing board and card games can look like anything from playing a simple card game to a board game whose rulebook feels like a novel.

4. Working together 

If you’re looking for a more low-key date, spice up a video game night by playing an MMORPG together. Have some high-class snacks on hand and don’t forget to pack a picnic!

5. In a pleasant manner

If you’ve been talking a lot and there’s a real connection, try doing something swoon-inducing on a date. This could look like: showing each other childhood homes; babysitting together; ‘choosing your own adventure’ dates; or grand romantic gestures.

6. In a city

If you’re heading out of the city, there are lots of fun ways to get moving with your date. This could look like: pick-up sports, dance classes, cycling or roller skating, or ice skating. Or rent some gear (unless you already own it) to participate in the sports of your choosing.

7. Creating a culture 

Whether it’s making music together or gluing a collage together in a dive bar, collaborating can be immensely romantic. Plus, collaborating on something together can feel both fun and intimate at the same time.
