I have the following in a .txt file on my computer.
I don't know the sources. Some are probably from someone else's posts on sosuave.
Just ideas. Some are good. Some are stupid. You choose.
1. Arcade/ Miniature Golf /Batting Cages.
Sometimes found all in the same location. Some of these places might also have race cars.
2. Comedy Clubs.
3. Zoo/Seaworld.
Girlies love this one; not too many men think of it. They've all said to me "The zoo? That's really cool, no guys has ever taken me to the zoo"; then they keep asking for weeks, "When are we going to to the zoo?"; yeah, might sound kind of goofy to us guys, but works like a charm. Might be because most women are nurturing and love animals.
4. Bring her along.
Take her to hang out while you do your things like shopping for music, going to the mall, book store, etc. If she's into you at this point, she will really enjoy that.
5. Work Out Date.
Once she's confortable, invite her to go work out. There's something about working, raises the hormones, you can get some physical contact, and it will be a unique experience for her.
6. Get her too cook for you at your place.
Tell her to cook for you and bring it over. Cook a meal together. Bake together. Carve a pumpkin, etc. Good reason to get her to your place. Can't go wrong with that one.
7. Hang out at the park or the beach.
Most babes like rollerblading, bike riding, etc. Women have some kind of fantasy about the whole beach experience, so take advantage of it.
8. Casinos.
If you don't live in or near Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or any near gamblin' city, find out if there are any casinos operated by Native Americans. This is definitely something different, and can be fun.
9. Museums.
There are many kinds to suit your taste. Art, science, astronomy, culture, etc.
10. Concerts.
If you don't want to spend too much money, specially early, look for local shows and bands that are coming or performing in small clubs. Always look at it as something that you want to do, and you're just bringing her along.
11. State Fair.
Yes, I know, sounds kind of "girlie", and that's exactly what it is. Women love the fair. I don't get it, but they are wired for it.

1. AMUSEMENT PARKS - This really makes for a fun date, especially if you both enjoy thrill-seeking rides such as roller coasters, etc. Also, don't forget to try and win her a teddy bear or other keepsake.
2. BALLOON RIDES - I am referring to hot-air balloon rides. This is a breath-taking experience you both will never forget. It's very romantic and some rides even come with champagne.
3. BOAT RENTAL - This makes for a unique experience and it's so relaxing and enjoyable. You can charter a boat with captain and crew or rent a powerboat for skiing, fishing, or just for cruising.
4. CAMPING - What a great way to enjoy the great outdoors! Things really get cozy and romantic sitting in front of an open fire! This is sure to melt her heart and make her want to share your sleeping bar.
5. CARRIAGE RIDES - This is one of the ultimate romantic experiences. Just you and your lover or date in a horse-drawn carriage enjoying the scenery.
6. DINNER AT YOUR PLACE - One of my favorite things to do is to invite a lady over for a candlelight steak dinner and champagne. I do all the cooking and wait on my date hand and foot. I really make my date feel special. So, if you really want to make someone feel special and have a romantic evening, do this for a very special date.
7. DINNER THEATRE - There's nothing like good entertainment while you're eating. Your date will really be impressed and this is one of my top choices to take a date to.
8. GO-CARTS - These are a lot of fun for adults too. Why not challenge your date to a race around the track.
9. HAY RIDES - Have you ever been on a hayride? It's a lot of fun and something very different to do.
10. HELICOPTER RIDES - This was one of the most exciting dates I ever went on. My date and I took a helicopter tour of downtown San Diego and the Shoreline. I was especially fascinated flying over the skyscrapers and looking down on them. This will be an expensive date, because to charter a helicopter can cost you up to $500 an hour. If you can afford it, it's worth the money just for the experience.
11. HORSE RACES OR DOG RACES - Here's another fun activity you can both share and make some money too, if you are lucky.
12. ICE SKATING - Don't know how to skate? No problem, It's a lot of fun just learning. Sure, you're going to take a few spills on the ice. It's all part of the fun! This is great place to go on a date even if you don't know how to ice skate. You can always take lessons, too.
13. JET SKIS - This is like riding a motorcycle on the water and your date can ride on the back. Take my word for it, this is the ultimate joy ride while having some great fun on the water. You can rent them for about $20 for a half-hour.
14. KITE FLYING - Stop by any toy store and pick up a kite and go on a kite date. Head for your local park, beach, or any wide-open space. Kites are not just for kids. It's a fun experience for all ages and it's kind of romantic. So, get your date and go fly a kite.
15. LIMOUSINE DATE - When you want to tell someone they're special, what better way to do it than with the unexpected. Sending flowers is nice, but sending flowers with a limousine is unforgettable. This is a great way to let dancers know they are real special to you.
16. LIVE MUSIC - This will put you and your date in a good mood, especially if the band is good. Check out your area for places that offer live music. Take her to Rock Concerts too.
17. MOONLIGHT STROLLS - When there's a full moon and clear skies, head for any lake or seashore. It's so romantic to take your shoes off and wade along the shore with the full moon gleaming on the water
