Picture if you will. At last you get to see your long distance partner after driving for miles. You both decide to go to the cinema. You've picked a good movie to watch. You've got the popcorn. And as the theatre lights lower, you both fall silent. Do you see what's wrong with this picture?
You might just be lucky to get a full weekend together, or maybe just a couple of hours, however long you are planning to spend with one another, choosing a date where you are both silent for the entire time is NOT a very good idea.
Instead try to choose some ideas that will get you chatting, touching and bonding. I'm certain that you can think of some better ideas if you really put your mind to it. But incase you are unable to, here are a few of our favorites.
Star Watching
Get in your car and drive out 20 minutes away from the city lights. Lay a blanket down and bring some warm chocolate. If you're a tech geek, download an iphone application called "Star Walk" which lets you monitor over 200 thousand celestial bodies and has loads of information about stars and constellations. By having dates like this, it will give you both a great opportunity to talk about your future together and really develop your trust in the relationship.
Skating Rink
A date at the ice rink can be one of the most fun of all. As you glide around you will find your self grabbing your lovers hands. You might fall over a little if it's the first time you've been skating. But you shouldn't worry, even the pros fall over on the ice now and again. Guys, please remember to give your girl a hand when she is getting up. And Gals, please remember not to laugh too hard when you watch your man fall. This date can get extremely physical and pretty soon you'll be pretending to trip over just so that you can grab onto your partner.
Mountaineering
Another great idea is to pack a lunch box, and a map, and spend the day with each other in the beautiful great outdoors. Be sure you take a camera for those picture perfect moments, and remember to take a makeshift first aid kit and plenty of drinking water. With this activity you will develop your abilities to make decisions together.
Aquarium
An aquarium can be a wonderful place to spend the day with each other. It will usually be quite quiet during the morning and you will get to see some really cool animals. You can sit there all day and chat with each other, learning about the fish, and also learning more about your partner.
Dinner Date
It doesn't have to be anything fancy, although it can if you desire. I'm sure your partner would love it if you prepared a meal for them. No matter where you decide to have your dinner date, nothing is better than eating with candle lights and flowers on the table. And gents, let me give you some advice. A woman will love it if you make a fancy meal for her. Pasta is my favorite. Just remember spaghetti isn't just for two Disney dogs to enjoy.
