Bringing your date out to the cinema or for dinner can be a bit boring, so here are a few dating ideas with a difference…
Showing up and being a nice guy are just two parts of impressing your new lady friend on a first date.
If you really want to show what you’re worth then you should put a bit of thought into your date, so she knows you’re not just another typical bloke who doesn’t want to spend more than €15. In fairness, most girls remember their first date with their other half – just keep that in mind.
So here are INTRO’s Top Dating Tips for planning a date with a difference.
1. Ghost Bus Tour, Viking Splash
You always see the Ghost Bus Tour and the Viking Splash driving around the city, but we’d wager a bet that you’ve never actually been on either of them, because they’re too ‘touristy’.
Well, we have news for you mate, as most women like to cuddle up close to someone when their frightened and luckily for you, both of these tours promise their fair share of scares. You can tell her that there’s a ghost on the bus or that your Viking Splash-boat is taking on water. Either way, she’s sure to get nice and close.
2. Have an adventurous day out
Why not get your adrenaline pumping (hopefully not for the last time on your date) with a fun and adventurous day out. Instead of taking her to a movie and then to Nandos (not that there’s anything wrong with Nandos) why not take your date on a daring adventure that she’ll never forget.
Extremesports.ie have pretty much every adventure sport you could think of located around the country, so there’s something for everyone.
3. Take her to a show
Why not take her to the theatre for a show and pretend to be all cultured and whatnot, or go a step further and take her to a theatre workshop. She’s sure to have a blast and you’ll… well, at least you’ll be on a date instead of playing Xbox all day.
If you’re new girlfriend is into theatre then this may just be the perfect date for you both her. The lads over at The Abbey Theatre have all that lark sorted.
4. Have a training date at the gym
Okay, so first off, this isn’t exactly a first date for everyone. In fairness, it wouldn’t look great if you suggested to your new girl that your first date should be in the gym, but what if you met her there in the first place? You already have one thing in common, so why not use that to your advantage?
You can jog beside each other while you chat away, and she can even spot for you as you give her front row tickets to the gun show. Also, at least you’ll know what she looks like when she’s all hot and sweaty… just sayin’.
5. Take her to the Zoo
Ladies love animals, and by bringing her to the zoo and swooning over all the smaller creatures, you’ll show her that your that you’re a big softy at heart. Even if you’re made of stone, petting a baby goat in the petting zoo is sure to make her weak at the knees.
