Date Ideas to Keep you Warm in any Weather
Are you looking for a better alternative to the usual rainy day
activities of dinner and a movie or going to the mall? Did you
have a fun hike planned for your first date with that special
someone and now the weather isn't cooperating? No need to worry.
Just because the weather is a little colder or the snow is
falling outside it doesn't mean that you can't have just as much
fun as you had strolling down the beach last summer. Below are
some of our favorite cold weather date ideas.
A night abroad. Choose a Country and invite
some friends over for a dinner theme party. For example, if you
choose France, look up some French recipes on websites like
www.epicurious.com. Have your guests wear something "French"
like a beret and watch a French movie or a movie that takes
place in France such as the classic "An American in Paris"
Learn something new. Your local Community
College probably offers many inexpensive classes or you can go
to www.craigslist.org and search through the classes listed in
their community section. Cooking, pottery-making, wine-tasting,
and ballroom dancing are just some of the classes you may find.
Go ice skating at an indoor rink. This is an
especially great idea for a first date as there will be lots of
excuses to get close as you try to save each other from falling
on the ice.
Support your local teams. Basketball or Hockey
games are fun winter events and they often offer discounted
ticket prices for games held during the week.
Relax and pamper yourselves. Treat you and your
special someone to a day at the spa. Many Day Spas offer special
couples massages so you can really enjoy the experience
together.
Go bowling. Whether you go just as a couple or
with a group of friends this is always a fun activity.
Play pool at your favorite local pub. Loser
buys the next round!
Host a game night. Invite some friends over,
order pizza and break out the board games.
Indoor camping. If you have a fireplace light a
fire, make Smores and tell ghost stories just like you did at
summer camp.
Stay in bed all day. Have breakfast in bed,
watch movies, or read a book, but most importantly don't get out
of your pajamas all day.
Start your own book club. Choose a book that
you are both interested in reading. Make a weekly date at your
favorite coffee shop to cozy up together and discuss the book.
Get cultured. Go to a play, symphony, concert
or the ballet. Type "discount event tickets" into your search
engine to find inexpensive tickets to local events. Discount
ticket websites like www.goldstarevents.com offer tickets to
events at sometimes up to 50% off the regular admission price.
Go to a local museum or art gallery. Check out
the Entertainment section of your local paper for information on
upcoming shows or special exhibits.
Don't fight the cold. Drive to the snow. Make
snowmen, have a snowball fight or go sledding down a big hill.
Be sure to stop somewhere for a warm hot chocolate or a Caf
