I'm running out of ideas guys! The threads for dates are all great but I've done all the things I think she'd like that can be done at night. The museum closes at 9pm, rose gardens aren't in bloom, plays aren't her thing and bars and pool don't suit either of us.

Movies are over done. I'm thinking a bike ride but I'm not sure of a good place besides Lake Johnson that would be good that's open. Does Meredith still close off the path?

Ladies I could use your help here. I've cook for her often and plan to keep that trend up but what do we do after we eat. Dinner and a movie gets old over time.

Thanks!

bowling, ice skating, fucking

2/27/2007 9:24:45 AM

we did a lot of hiking out at umstead, it's really nice there. there are bike trails too, but we never tried that so i can't vouch for those. of course umstead closes at sunset so that doesn't help much.

umm...you could hang out at REI until 9ish. lol

sorry, we looked for the same kinda stuff to do while we were in school/in raleigh, but never found it.

2/27/2007 9:26:40 AM

Go to the beach. Putt Putt is always challanging. Ask her what she wants to do.

2/27/2007 9:28:40 AM

why can't you two just stay at home and enjoy each other's company

or are both of you that boring that you constantly have to be occupied with an activity

2/27/2007 9:29:07 AM

play a private drinking game with your favorite tv show or movie

2/27/2007 9:30:29 AM

Lake Crabtree has good mountain bike trails.

Get a wii.

we played a lot of scrabble and burnout3

2/27/2007 9:41:26 AM

NCSUGimp we can stay at home but that gets old after a while. Trying to generate ideas. She lives in durham and I in Raleigh so nighttime is only option during the week.

Can you spend money???

I took a girl skydiving once. Shit was crazy. But it cost a penny or two.

2/27/2007 10:00:10 AM

where is a putt putt around here?

^^ theres one off tryon, near avent ferry i think

2/27/2007 10:19:22 AM

hot air balloon ride is about $100. I would double check though.

2/27/2007 10:23:05 AM

play basketball, tennis, etc.... But don't let her win.

2/27/2007 10:53:51 AM

Hot air balloon is a great idea.

You could also go hiking in the mountains or plan a picnic at Lake Jordan(?).

Adventure Landing and Fun Works (I think that is the name its on the corner of Tryon and Lake Dam)

2/27/2007 11:30:36 AM

it's not fun works anymore... it's something else. now.. half the videogames are broke, the putt putt is mediocre & they removed laser tag & the nascar go karts...

2/27/2007 12:05:08 PM

frisbee golf off kaplan, go running or canoeing, plan a camping trip.

Late nite drive to nowhere in particular, discover some new place together while you're at it.

2/27/2007 12:08:40 PM

Just play World of Warcraft together

2/27/2007 12:32:11 PM

laser tag is also a fun thing to do on a date

2/27/2007 12:43:11 PM

^^HAHAHA Brilliant!

2/27/2007 12:47:42 PM

I don't know if laser tag is good for a date since sticking together is asking to get shot.

2/27/2007 12:53:52 PM

^she'll know how much you really care if you take a laser beam to the chest for her!

2/27/2007 12:55:04 PM

best ones i've seen:
- frisbee golf (it can get addicting which could lead to several date nights there)
- putt putt
- when it gets warm, take her fishing

2/27/2007 1:11:40 PM

Karting!

2/27/2007 1:12:31 PM

She's not into video games much, and outside this time of year at night is not really good due to the cold.

Find a field somewhere away from the city. Buy a stargazer and look at the constellations on a clear night.

2/27/2007 4:11:51 PM

any girl u have a future with you will not have to plan an activity for every time you see

i mean i can see having to plan elaborate shit for the first few dates/weeks but at some point you should know enough about each other to know what to do.

2/27/2007 6:50:10 PM

spelling bee at bickett gallery, usually 1x/month. You get a beer for each word spelled correctly. It's fun. Last time the category was "words that make you smile because you're a dirty pervert"

2/27/2007 8:53:11 PM

drunken go-carts, a performance downtown

[Edited on February 27, 2007 at 8:58 PM. Reason : .,]

2/27/2007 8:56:51 PM

the password is...vagina

but seriously, try somewhere with dancing, unless you suck at it. Do some bowling.

2/27/2007 9:07:20 PM

go-carts

2/27/2007 9:13:00 PM

you are 28 years old and need the internet to tell you what to do on a date? jesus dude.

2/27/2007 9:13:09 PM

Any sport in the park
Trip to OBX, windsurfing, swimming, etc.
Putt putt RULES
Bowling
golfing range

2/27/2007 9:48:23 PM

^^^^ dancing only works if you know how and are not embarrassed. A dance class though might be a good idea.

2/27/2007 10:02:11 PM

Shelley Lake

parking is minimal which sucks, but they have several miles of paved trails plus some paths off the side. There are picnic tables around the edge of the lake as well as a boathouse and a bridge with nice views of the water and the obligatory waterfowl There's also a large field where you could ... play soccer ... ? ... but bring a blanket, because there are a lot of ducks/geese and while they don't hang out on that side usually I wouldn't want to chance accidentally laying/sitting down on bird shit

2/27/2007 11:44:28 PM

stay at home, but don't just watch TV. Play monopoly or something. If it doesn't keep both of you amused/happy...dump her.

Scratch that. Mushroom stamp her, then she will do the dumping for you.

2/27/2007 11:51:40 PM

Swing dancing Sunday evenings at the Elk's Lodge in Raleigh.

2/27/2007 11:55:06 PM

go volunteer together

I went in the fall in Winston Salem and it was $350 for a one hour ride... about 3 hours total with the preparing the balloon and packing up. It was def. worth it though but dont know if we would do it more than once.

2/28/2007 10:09:40 AM

picnic on the abandoned overpass over I-40. on a clear night, its far enough away to see stars, and its fun to watch highway traffic at night.

2/28/2007 11:02:50 AM

^ what mile marker is that near?

2/28/2007 11:04:57 AM

Dude, where is this?? this is bad assery at it's finest.

2/28/2007 11:05:57 AM

take her to the observation deck at RDU. its really great at night when the runways/taxiways are all lit up and you can see planes flying in from the distance, watch them land, taxi in, etc. Plus, they have the communication between the tower and the planes pumped over speakers so you can hear what's happening
Pretty neat and my gf liked it
