Rock Climbing - Date Idea #15

Rock Climbing is Epic! The whole experience is challenging and exciting! Find an adventurous date and go climbing =) You can climb indoors or outdoors making this a year-round date! Grab some gear, get a group together, and there ya go! Climbing is such a cool opportunity. Learn something new! Enjoy the exhilaration of accomplishment and the chance to work together! It is a test of strength and mental endurance. Rock climbing provides a rewarding experience as you do something difficult...together. 

Climbing is a very different activity than some other dates you've been on. It is active, unique,

and so much fun! Try following routes marked with tape (if indoors) or a new angle on the rock 

(if outdoors). You could spend hours and hours going up and down the wall:)

So... what are you waiting for?! There is your next date!

Cost: Medium (for equipment and pass)

Dress: Comfortable Sportsware

Photography Trip - Date Idea #13

Who doesn't love to go on a date?! Who doesn't love the chance to take pictures?! Mixing the two is just too good to be true!:) A Photography trip has got to be the one of the ULTIMATE Date Ideas! Everyone LOVES taking pictures, whether they are capturing a crystal clear landscape of the mountains or doing a couple selfie, this date is a blast! Whether you have a nice DSLR or just your Smartphone, photography is literally a 24/7 year-round date option. Pictures can be taken during the day or night, in the summer or the winter, downtown or high in the mountains. On top of that, this date is 100% free! 

There are lots of ways to express ourselves. One may use words, writing, music, and art. I believe photography is one of the best ways to capture and express feeling. To prove my point, one may remember the time-old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words."

Enjoy the excitement as you search for the perfect pic. Give suggestions, photo bomb, snap selfies, capture a Pano, or even do a time lapse. You could try taking pictures of your picture taking! Convince your date to model for you and give them some awesome new profile photos:)

You may want to bring a tripod, a selfie stick, a backpack, and a snack to sustain you on your adventure. Take your group of friends to discover the world of photography. If your date already loves photography you will hit a home run with this one.

And...the fun and happiness will continue even after the magical experience is over because then you get to share all the pics you took!!!

Bonus Idea: Try going to multiple places in one day (or night) to take pictures!

Cost: FREE!

Dress: Dependent on Picture taking location

Below: Check out some amazing pictures you could take with your date as you enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience! Some of these pics are edited and some are naturalistic. They may be of mountains, old wire, or blossoming flowers...the important thing is that the pictures were taken not by 'professional' photographers but teens just like you that love capturing this beautiful world we live in. How fun would it be to take stunning photos like these with your date. Comment below on your favorite 3 pics! Put the name of the photographer (as noted below each pic) and what the photo captured:)

Ice Skating - Date Idea #7

'Skate' to the rink for this super 'cool' date!!! Ice Skating is a time-tested, all-around favorite date of generations. You can't go ice skating without seeing a couple or two whirling around together on the ice. Everyone loves the chance to test their abilities, whether they are hockey/figure skate champions or first-time learners. 

If she hasn't learned yet she will jump at the chance of going with you to the rink. 

Hold hands, fall down, and laugh as you skate on the ice.

Dress: Warm

Cost: Low

You will get to taste some of your hard work, sing together, and give some service all in one day! The rewarding experience of helping others and working together will be rewarding!
