Enjoying Dating While You Look for “The” Guy
Interesting date ideas for a gay guy are not too different from those a straight woman might recommend.
Let’s face it. The whole dating thing can be more than a little scary. However, it really can be one of the most fun parts of finding the right relationship with the ideal gay man or straight guy.
1. A great date proposal is going for a round of miniature golf. Mini-golf or Putt Putt, as it is sometimes called is a great way to participate in a stimulating activity but still have a meaningful conversation. Golfing is an intimate enough game that will let you to get to know each other while not just sitting in a restaurant. Whether you’re any good at the sport or not, flirting over your skills or lack thereof is a great way to lighten the mood. Just be careful to leave the side of you that might be a touch too competitive at your house.
2. If you live around a downtown area, a terrific date is to go for a night on the town. A major downtown area always has plenty of eclectic things to do. Whether you’re going in and out of stores, or walking through a park, the environment around you will provide for a great time, and some great memories. The exciting atmosphere of the town will also stimulate lots of creative conversation, and is a terrific way to learn about each other. You may even do something that’s unique to the city, such as a stage performance, check out the skyscrapers, or go to the pier.
3. If both of you are the outside and energetic type, why not try a little rock climbing? There is undoubtedly somewhere in your area where you can safely do a bit of climbing. Exercise is a reliable way to ease some of the tensions that a date early in your relationship might provide. Many areas have private, for pay climbing venues.
4. Think seasonally! In the summer, go to a baseball game. It doesn’t matter if there are no major league teams near you; the minor leagues or watching a local soft ball team can be just as much fun. In the winter, try sledding if you are in a cold weather zone. It’s casual, and it requires absolutely no skills. In the spring, pack a lunch and take a long drive to see the newly blooming flowers. In the fall, I would vote for a football game (playing or watching), but maybe going to a hilltop and picnicking while you admire the foilage might be more the thing for you and your guy.
Dating really can be an exciting part of being in or starting a relationship. Establishin a social dating environment is important in order to get to know the other person. After all, you might not always remember that lousy movie you watched, but you’re sure to recall the excitement of any of these fun date ideas.
