Dates that You've Never Thought Of

Karl Withakay
Dinner and a movie are among the most common date scenarios of all time. She expects a dinner and a movie from you. Let me tell you something. She loves surprises. Let's get away from the dinner and a movie idea and go for some things that are totally different. Not just different but different in the way that will set you apart from every guy she's ever been out with. (In a good way.)

Make Her Dinner

Go to the grocery store and buy the ingredients and show up at her door with bags in hand and a bottle of wine with two stemmed glasses. No instant stuff. COOK her dinner. Still lost? Can't cook? I'll show you how.

On the night before the date, buy two good sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts, a bottle of KC Masterpiece lemon pepper marinade, (this brand is nice and thick and doesn't run off the meat while cooking) and two sides. (frozen or fresh, not canned). With a sharp knife, cut vertical and horizontal slices on both sides of the chicken breasts. (this allows the marinade to get inside the chicken) Submerge the chicken in the marinade inside a container with a lid. Put the lid on securely and place the container with the chicken in the refrigerator over night. At her place, place the chicken breasts in a foil lined shallow pan and place it in a preheated oven at about 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about thirty minutes. After about twenty minutes, open the oven and pour the left over marinade on top of the chicken, slide the pan back in and close the oven to cook for an additional ten minutes. For your sides, steam your veggies if you can. Don't boil them unless you absolutely have to. There you have a great dinner that's easy to make. After dinner, insist that she sits down while you clean up after dinner. Clear the table, rinse the plates, load the dishwasher or do the dishes. Doing this and doing it right will be much better than taking her out to the local steakhouse for dinner.

Bring Back Some Memories

Talk to her family and ask them some questions. As a child, did her family spend time at the lake? Did her Dad used to take her horseback riding at a place nearby? Take her to that lake, take her horseback riding where her Dad used to take her when she was a child.

Take Her Sleigh Riding

I'm serious. If you live in an area where it snows every winter, rent a sled, dress you and her up nice and warm, find a snowy hill haul the sled up there, the two of you hop on and slide down the hill on the sled. Rinse and repeat. It's not child like either. She'll love it. While you're at it, start a snowball fight with her.

These are just a few of the different things you can do on a date. Just use your imagination. These things will set you apart from every guy she has ever dated. (in a good way). Good luck.
