Romantic Rendezvous Rut?
Here are 5 ways to spice up your love life!
Written By: Robyn Baskin
Stuck in a dating rut? Tired of the usual dinner and a movie? Whether it’s your first date or you’re practically married, these out of the box dates will get that heart rate pumping and get you on track to falling in l-o-v-e.
1. Go to a stand-up comedy show! Laughs = love, people!
Take it from Tyra:
"I went on a blind date with a guy to a stand-up comedy club and we ended up dating for over a year. It was one of the best first dates I have ever been on! Sure we laughed at the comedian, but we spent most of the night laughing at each other. We actually got yelled at by the bouncer for laughing too much- in fact, we almost got kicked out!! I think that the fun atmosphere made it easy to open up. Plus after the date we had plenty to talk about. He didn’t turn out to be the man of my dreams, but I’ll never forget that date!”
2. Get your amusement park on! Roller-coast your way into his heart. Thrilling rides will get both of your heart rates pumping. This is super important on the first (or any) date. When you raise your heart rate, it gives you the same feeling as falling in love!! Parks usually have long lines for the best rides, which makes for lots of time to talk and get to know each other. So get over that fear of heights, grab his hand and get on the scariest ride at the park!
3. STRIKE! Go bowling! Whether you are a pro or in need of bumpers, you and your date are sure to have plenty to talk about. Bet that whoever get’s the low score has to buy the pizza for the night. Having too much fun to stop (which we’re pretty will happen)? Make it best out of 3!
4. Skate date! Strap on those ice or roller skates and glide your way to a picture perfect date. At the very least, you’ll get to hold hands while you try to keep each other on your feet!
5. Take a dance lesson. Salsa, ballroom, tango- it’s up to you. Let the music guide you. You’re guaranteed to get that heart going when you are arm in arm with your new flame!
What’s the best date you’ve ever been on? We want to hear all about it!! Share your experience in the comment section!
me and this guy had our first date at a kareoke club and it was so much fun, although we can't hold a note even if it was in our hands.
Good tips :) I would try all of them except the rides... i HAATE rollercoasters their scary!

It was summer time and hot so what better way to cool off than to eat ice cream! He took me to Dairy Queen and we had ice cream and took a walk to the park in our neighborhood and sat and just talked all afternoon into the evening. I had never done anything like that before and I had so much fun, it was also an opportunity to get to know each other

We decided to see a movie and first, he was texting his friends through out the whole thing, and then left me in the theater to watch the movie by myself for about 15 mins. Then he tried taking me to a nice restaraunt for dinner but the line-up was so long he went and took me to McDonald's.. mmm, gets better... he then proceeded to drive by a spot where he said he took girls from his school to at lunch time to do "certain favours" for him. UGH, I was disgusted. You bet I didn't call him for a second.

I would say my best date so far would have to be a double date i went on , we went to the park and had a silly string fight and then went to a bible study it was alot of fun.
The first two are priceless! I will def acquire them in my dating plans! : )
