Our adventures

Picture this. After driving for miles and miles, you finally get to see your lover. You both decide to go to the cinema. You’ve picked a good movie to see. You’ve got the snacks. And as the lights go down you both spend the next few hours in silence.



Does anyone else see the problem with this picture?

You may be lucky enough to get a full weekend together, or maybe just a couple of hours, however long you are planning to visit with one another, choosing a date where both of you are silent for the entire time is NOT a great idea.

Instead try to choose some activities that will get you talking, touching and bonding. If you really think hard about it, i'm sure there are loads of great date ideas. But in the case that you are struggling, we have outlined our favourites below.

Star Watching

Drive out 20 minutes away from the bright lights. Bring a blanket and some hot cocoa.. For the techies among you, there is an extremely cool iphone application called "Star Walk" where you are able to track all the stars in the sky. This is a great opportunity to chat, share stories and bond with your partner.

Ice Skating

An outing to the ice rink can be one of the most fun of all. Chances are you will end up grabbing onto each others hands to try to keep your balance. If it's your first time then you may find it hard to get your balance. But don’t worry, everyone falls over on the ice now and again. Gents, never forget to give your sweetheart a hand while she gets back on her feet. And Girls, please don't giggle too much when he falls. This date can get very physical and pretty soon I'm sure you'll be pretending to fall over just so that you can grab onto your partner.

Hiking

Pack some sandwiches, a map, and go spend the day together in the great outdoors. Be sure you take a camera for those picture perfect moments, and remember to bring a makeshift first aid kit and plenty of liquids to drink. With this activity you will learn to develop your abilities to make good decisions together.

Aquarium

If you have an aquarium in your city or town, this can be a great place to go to. Chances are during the morning it will be quite quiet and it will offer some awe-inspiring sights of dolphins speeding through the waters. You can sit there all day and talk with each other, learning all about the fish, and also learning more about each other.

Dining Out

You don't always have to dine at a fancy restaurant. Sometimes your significant other will really be grateful for you cooking for them. No matter where you pick to have a dinner date, nothing quite beats eating with candles burning and flowers on the table. And men, let me give you some guidance. A girl just loves it if you cook for them. Any type of pasta is my favorite. Remember spaghetti isn’t just for 2 dogs to enjoy.
