Great date ideas

Here's some more dating tips I think other guys could learn from Islander. Sure, they may be oldie, but goodies, but here are some good places for guys to take women on dates.

 1. Airplane watching - this is a little more difficult to do in the U.S. with all the added security measures, but I must admit sitting, watching airplanes land is more appealing than I thought. Sure, I had Gary Allan's song playing in the back of my head but it made for a good soundtrack as we watched the planes clear the ocean and then make it to the tarmac.

 2. Historic site- this only works if you know enough about the story of the site you visit. You don't want to go overboard on the details to make it boring or like a class, but you want to know enough to field a few questions from your date. In this case Islander took me to a fort and told me the story of the fort. It wasn't like I was paying total attention (I know that's a running theme with me) because I was mostly waiting on him to make his move, but I did hear him talk enough with confidence to feel satisfied.

 3. Walk on the beach - Everyone doesn't have this option, but if you do, do it. It's not overdone. Nor do I think it could be. You don't have to do it at sunset either. Just the simple suggestion evokes a positive reaction in women. Go for it!

 4. Star gazing - I'd never paid enough attention to the sky to know what constituted the big dipper or the little dipper, but when Islander pointed them out, I was suddenly interested. I didn't go out and buy a telescope when I returned home, but I did find myself thinking how cool it was to sit and watch the big, beautiful sky and talk about my past and future with a good looking guy.

 I'm pretty practical and one of the least romantic women I know based on my current refusal to watch most rom/coms and chick flicks so if these dates worked on me, they will more than likely work on most any woman.
