Dinner dates are not the only type of date you can plan. Some people just don’t want to get to know you over food and that’s okay! Here are a couple date ideas you can try with a potential dating partner or current partner.

Swing Your Shot at Mini Golf or Top Golf

Swingers swing and shooters shoot! Disclaimer: I am 100% only referring to the nonsexual type of swingers. Anyways, you can either get a hole in one or miss it altogether. Try your swing at places like Puttshack, Top Golf, or your nearest golf club.

Use Your Hands at a Pottery Class

Being handsy can get messy, but can also create something beautiful! For your next date, try a Pottery Class. You can find plenty coupons and discounts for this activity on Groupon. Go put those hands to work!

Appreciate Creativity at an Art Museum

What’s better than exploring works of art with a date who is God’s work of art. Your date was crafted by the God of the Universe, you two can marvel at the time and dedication it took to create the art pieces in front of you.

Explore a History Museum

Taking a look at history brings upon a grand sense of gratitude and connection. Discussing how history impacted the lives of you and your date can be an eye-opening, intimate experience.

Try an Escape Room Experience

Ready to see how much you value working under pressure and teamwork? Competing in an Escape Room is a great way to observe how your date thinks.

Go Go-Karting

Instead of being Fast and Furious, test out being Fast and Flirty at your nearest Go-Kart track. Don’t let this experience be a speed dating crash, though!

Attend a Paint and Sip Class

Let your creative side flow as you sip on some cocktails, or mocktails. Show your date how artistic you are! Sign up for a Paint and Sip class.

Get Competitive at an Arcade

Do you have what it takes to conquer your partner? Or will they conquer you? Check it out by planning a date at an arcade! Show them it’s game time, baby.

Cheer on a Team at a Sporting Event

If you’re interested in sports, this outing should be a no-brainer. Attending sports events are so fun for all involved…it can be stressful if you’re team is losing, though.

Sing Out Your Heart at a Karaoke Night

Unleash your inner star and sing like no one’s watching for your next date. If you can’t sing, it’ll make for a hilarious, maybe embarrassing, memory. Do you have what it takes?

Full Disclosure: These are 100% My Kind of Dates

Sorry not sorry, this list is compiled of my favorite type of dates. I’m not a fan of dinner dates when getting to know someone new. Dinner dates should be reserved for the exclusive, committed stage of dating – not the free-roaming, exploration stage.
