Mark: Hey, I'd really love to take you out this week.
Woman: Sounds good. What do you want to do?
Mark: Uh, I don't know. What do you want to do?

All right, fun first date ideas. What I want to give you today is five really
cool ideas that you can use right now that don't cost a cent, that you can suggest to
the guy who maybe doesn't have enough of an idea what to do. Now, the first one is playful
competitions or competitive dates. Now this doesn't have to be anything serious, but what
you can do is you can set up something like a timezone date where you go to an arcade,
a bowling date - 10 pin bowling, a ball games date, even a mini golf date. Any date that
allows you guys to have a fun little competition is going to be a great first date. And the
reason is, well, there's two reasons. The first is it takes the attention off the two
of you rather than a boring interview style date where you're uhm la sitting across the
table, you're actually going to be out there focusing on something else.
It's not a you and him vibe. It's an us and them, so there's an external focus
for the two of you to talk about and to interact on. The second really cool part of competitive
days is that they're playful. It's so easy to make a playful, fun little competition
out of a competitive day and have a really good time with the guy.
Mark: Hey, I'd really love to take you out this week.
Woman: How about you take me out and I whooped your butt at timezone?
The second one you can do is picnics. Now, picnics are really cool because
they give you a relaxed little environment that the two of you can sit in. You can get
to know one another. You can, you can vibe and you can bring your own food and drinks
and things and you can even suggest it and get him to set it up for you. It's a great
way to get to know the guy in a really relaxed location.
Mark: Hey, I'd really love to take you out this week.
Woman: Let's do a picnic. You bring lunch, I'll bring wine and dessert. Deal?
Now, number three only works if you have a dog, but if you do, you've got
to take your dog for a walk anyway, right? So why not bring the guy along, get to know
your suburb, take a walk around and get to know one another while your dog's there? It's
a great excuse to hang out with a guy because you're doing it anyway.
Mark: Hey, I'd really love to take you out this week.
Woman: Why don't we take my dog for a walk? Be warned though. He's a very good judge
of character and I'll be taking his opinion of you very seriously.
The fourth one is one that I personally really enjoy. It's called find
a view. Basically, all you do is you suggest to the guy that the two of you head into the
city, so you've usually got to do this one in the CBD. You go and grab some food and
then you make a little mission to get to the highest point you can in one of the public
buildings there. So you literally just head to the buildings, head upstairs, head to whatever
offices are up there and just hang out there. They often have chairs waiting areas where
you can sit and eat your lunch. It's a really cool, unusual day and you get a view of the
city while you enjoy some good food with good company.
Mark: Hey, I'd really love to take you out this week.
Woman: Let's go to the city and grab some food and have an adventure. I want to
find the best view we can.
Number five is really simple, but it's something that none of us really,
most of us haven't seen things in our own city. We literally white four friends from
out of town or interstate or even overseas to visit before we go and do touristy things
in our own city. So number five is simply be a tourist in your own city. Go and do those
things that all of us have thought about doing, but which we don't actually do. Here in Brisbane,
we've got the science center, we've got all sorts of interesting places, the museums,
heaps of cool stuff and Brisbane is a small city. Whatever your city is, do a touristy
thing suggest it to your date. Go and hang out there and you'll have a really unusual
experience that probably both of you have considered doing, but neither of you have
made the time to actually do.
Mark: Hey, I'd really love to take you out this week.
Woman: Let's be secret nerds together and visit the science center. I won't tell
anyone if you don't.
Well, thanks so much for watching guys. I hope that gives you some answers as
to what you can reply in response to that annoying text and to men who cannot, for the
life of them seem to figure out where they want to take you. Let me know your thoughts.
