Ok, not that I'm picky but I can't seem to think of an interesting idea for a date. I mean, picnic down the park seems the best idea at the moment but we've had pretty unpredictable weather recently so I'm keeping my eye on that. But there's bradgate park which is lovely and victoria park in town which is just a large expanse of grass, but also lovely.
Cinema is so overrated, you go in, sit down, kiss once or twice and hold hands (cuddling is impossible with those arm rests). I thought about the theatre because we're both into that (well I assume she is, since she attends an amatuer drama club etc) but I looked at leicester's line up and it's quite frankly: crap.
Then, since we're only 16 and 15 I thought we could go to megazone (laser quest) but that would be better if we took our friends with us as well, it's more of a group thing (although I have nothing against those that go every week on their own
).
I've been going out with this girl for going on 4 weeks now and we haven't been on an official date yet, we've both said we should but it's just down to planning and something interesting. All ideas welcome, preferably something a bit different and key word: budget. Not that I'm trying to be cheap of course but we're young and I don't like to spend too much anywhere anyway. The best things in life are supposed to be free afterall!

A date doesn't have to be all cuddles and kisses though does it? I mean, the main thing is to have fun. Sure, intimate moments are great but then there's no need for theme parks and the like! But as I said, that plan is probably better for a group outing.
I'm still not convinced on the cinema idea
Still, original and easy ideas are welcomed
It's fun, you have to talk rather than sit staring a screen, and you get to admire her lovely pert bottom all afternoon long :thumb:
I was just going to mention bowling and you beat me to it. Me and my boyfriend went last week with a few friends and it was great fun. Definately gets a thumbs up as a date idea from me :thumb:
It means that you can't talk to each other and if the movie isn't good then you feel like you've wasted your time.
Bowling was also something that came to mind when I read the post title. Sure, I've never gone bowling on a date, but I've had such great fun when going with my friends.
And the two dates I had at the cinema...
anyway you could do a day of like shopping together and then go out for a meal? could be nice
I know it sounds rather naff & the kind of thing your grandparents would do on a Sunday afternoon but it's free & a good bit of exercise.
Also, when you're with good company it's the simplest of things that can proved very special.

:yes: I like this. Especially in the area I live there are nice places, Swithland woods is quite large and enough space to err get lost :angel:. I think I'll take her for a couple of mile walk TO bradgate park, and then a couple miles more walking AROUND bradgate park, then a picnic and then a couple of miles back. Or we could get a lift and just walk around there, may be better
isn't it great when your parents love your girlfriend?
I wouldn't know as my parents don't know about mine;)
*ordering pizza to be delivered to a bench by the river and eating/chatting till 3am
*London Aquarium (sounds bizarre but was so much fun)
*Night-time ice-skating at Somerset House in London at Xmas (photo below)I'd never been skating before so it was a real laugh!!
:yes: i love doing that, or going and sitting by a lake or something. u can chat and its free and because ur not busy doing other things..watchin a film, bowling, etc you can really spend some good time together
Ooo, go ice skating! It's not that expensive, but great fun! You get to hang onto each other while pretending to fall over :thumb:
how about a theme park? or going round the city liek a tourist would? I odnt know what leicesters like in that respect however.....also how about jsut taking a bus journey.......weird i know but you can meet all kind of weird people and laugh at them *ahh i scare my self sometimes* other stuff erm an aquarium......
food / restuarant places are a bit you know passe!
or you could try something really different like a class in salsa danicng or horse riding; that way you can both fail miseribly together........
or for something less active how about a concert! they rock........
hope thats a few ideas....
Going for a meal I think is a nice idea; however I've only done it once and had a bad experience. The lad I was with decided to sit and watch me eat. I hate it when anyone does that, let alone a lad on a first date. Bleurgh.
The cinema...it's a nice way to spend an evening. You get to hold hands and stuff but you can't talk. Well, you could but it'd be extremely annoying for other people there at the time!
I'm going out with a lad tomorrow, and really need idea's for what to do.
We've ruled out the pub and cinema, but we're both crap at thinking of ideas. It's also harder 'cause we're only getting to know eachother at the moment.
