A safe choice if make sure you're dating someone who bowls. 2) Go to the park and play on the swings, teeter-totter, and jungle gym like you did when you were 5 years old. - Playgrounds are dangerous places for dating! Don't put your loved one at risk of breaking his or her arm. 3) Get lost in a sea of pinball machines at the arcade while chowing down on huge slices of cheesy pizza. - It's not like these things don't exist anymore but maybe it's just me but I can't picture people dating here... 4) Take a class together—learn something new about each other by taking salsa lessons, gardening classes, cooking lessons, etc., then show off your skills over dinner. - This is just a bad dating idea it could also be for friends or family members. You don't want to see your loved one having to learn how to cook and then eat the result. If you're not dating try taking your S/O on a date and come home with flour, butter, sugar and chocolate all over you... 5) Have an indoor picnic under the stars. Lay down a blanket in front of the TV, turn off the lights, pour some wine, and watch your favorite flick as you dine al fresco. - I love this tip since it doesn't involve mealtimes!
