Coming up with good date ideas can be difficult.Everyone likes different things and has different abilities and skills.The goal of HowAboutADate.com is to come up with a date based around an activity that you’re passionate about because when you're doing what you love is when your personality shines.Take a second to really think about what you’re hobbies are, what you do for fun, and what you’d like to do with someone else.
Now that you have an idea of some things that you enjoy doing, you can begin to think of things that will compliment that date and be fun for you and your date.For example, if my fun activity was to go bowling I’d think of some fun places to bowl and some fun activities that compliment bowling that my date and I could do before, during, or after bowling.I live in the Mission and happen to have been to Mission Bowlbefore and know that it is a really hip bowling alley with a bar that provides food and drinks while bowling or lounging.With this knowledge I could plan a date that involves grabbing a drink or bite while waiting for a lane to open up or during or after bowling a round or two.This makes for a multi-leveled date. This means that there is one main activity that I’m passionate about, allowing me to be comfortable and myself while on the date and at the same time have other activities that help “break the ice” or keep the date going even after the activity has ended.I recommend having another “after the date” activity lined up that could be a fun suggestion if the date is going really well. Make sure there are enough activities to really get to know each other without already getting sick of each other!
Here are a few more date examples that have complimenting activities.
Attend a symphonywith drinks before to get to know each other or after to discuss the show.
Plan a bike ridedown the embarcadero and grab lunch at a café with a view along the way.
Show up early to a trivia night at a local bar to get to know each other before showing off your skills.
Pack a sandwich and go for a hike with a relaxing picnic break.
