Original Date Ideas

Originality, most people believe, is one important factor when part of the dating game. That is why it is important to set yourself apart from all the rest when it comes to going out for the night. So here are just some original date ideas that you cana take your prospect to to make sure they will remember not just the date, but also you.

Action-packed
To ensure a fun-filled date for both you and your date, you should take them to a place where there are a lot of things going on. A good example would be an outdoor mall where there are funky shops and street performers. This way, you get to save some cash because the entertainment is built right into the experience, at the same time, you can have quality time of talking and getting to know each other while strolling around.

Night Walk
This is much like the first date idea, but put it in a night setting. This can be more romantic if you just know what to do. Enjoy the night breeze and the sparkles of the stars, and make the dark your only witness for your awesome night out.

Shopping Galore
This is actually a bit tricky. Yes, both of you can certainly have a great time and have some clean fun. This is as long as you have a limit to your spending and not be their sugar mommy or sugar daddy who'll buy everything they want. And cute idea is also trying to have your date pick out something for you that you can use, maybe the next time you go out again.

Park Playtime
Bring the inner kid inside of you and your date by going to the nearest park and hang out by the playground. Swing on the swings, hop on the see-saw and ride the merry-go-round - these just spells fun all over the place.

Dog Walking
This is specially good if you are a guy trying to impress a girl. Everybody knows that girls love animals. So with this date, you get to show her your soft side by walking her dog with her. Or maybe our dog. Or your neighbor's dog. Doesn't really matter.

Be a Teacher
Teach your date something. It can be any activity under the sun. Cooking, pottery, surfing, boxing, basketball, knitting - you name it. As long as you too get a chance to bond and get to know each other, it's fine in the books.

Bike Ride
Just like walking, but a faster pace. To make this date work even better, make sure you know your route well and there are good places there where you can take a quick break. A coffee shop or a juice bar are just a couple of good ideas.

Late-night Dip
If you're feeling a bit adventurous and mischievous, why not try going for a night swim. Nothing is more fun and relaxing than being refresh by cold pool water, or even from a lake. Not only will the two of your have fun, you'll also get to see your date in a bikini or trunks.

There you have it, just some tips on how you can make your date a bit more memorable for you and your partner. These tried-and-tested date ideas will definitely have you scheduling another night out, as long as you don't act creepy.

Things That Girls Should Never Ask Their Boyfriends

Okay, let's not take too much time with the introduction. We here at Dating 4-1-1 promised an article about what girls should never ask their boyfriends, well because we posted something of the same nature for the guys out there a couple of days back. So as promised, here they are:

"What are you thinking?"
This question just invokes major argument. Why? Well, because basically guys don't know how to answer this. They will think that their partners are expecting them to commend them or say something sweet to them, which just puts them out there lying their hearts out. Most men just think about sex or sports so ladies, don't expect too much if ever you do ask this question to them.

"What would you do if I died?"
The question that usually follow this one is "Will you remarry?" And if your partner is the average fellow, he probably will. You certainly don't wanna hear that because it will just break your heart. And if he did tell you that he will not, you'll just probably accuse him of being dishonest. Besides, if you guys are not yet married, asking this question is like telling them that you already wanna get married, which is the ultimate fear of most men.

"Do you love me?"
Of course, they do. Why else would they still be hanging out with you if they don't. This question just shows that you are doubting them, instead of what you plan to do which is reassuring your love for each other. Most guys just don't wanna take that direction so women should jus be satisfied that they have a man.

"Do you think she's prettier than me?"
Only ask men this question if you are ready to break up with them. This is probably the second most difficult question for them to answer, well because this is like a trick question that if they answer to no, you will think they are liars. And if they answer yes, they'll think that you will call them cheating bastards. Just don't put your partners in this situation or else just suffer the consequence of a pretty long fight.

"Do I look fat?"
Another question that is very hard for men to answer. Probably the most difficult, matter of fact. Obviously, they don't wanna hurt your feelings by calling you fat or saying that you look like a cow. But of course, you ladies want your man to be honest all the time. Because of this, many men are just confused on what is the right thing to say if this question is being asked. Do them a favor and don't put them in this kind of situation. Honestly, it could be very traumatizing.

So there you go, ladies. Just spare yourself and your partner of the petty fight that may come out because of this silly questions. As much as possible, just stir clear of this kind of interrogations so you can have a happy life, you and your boyfriends.

But because this is Dating 4-1-1 and people here are just bunch of hopeless romantic, we would like to believe that it's love.

It might cost us all a hole in our pockets, but going in some of these love destination will assure everyone that they will truly live a life happily ever after. Just like what happens on fairy tales...

Tokyo, Japan. Call for a reservation for two at the New York Grill at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo, located at the heart of Shinjuku. Relive all the magical and romantic scenes from the movie Lost in Translation which was filmed at this exact location. This restaurant has been a favorite among men when they want to propose to their women, and not just Japanese men but just about every romantics out there.

Sydney, Australia. Many people say that when you are in Australia, you just have to go to the Sydney Opera House. Well, that is right. Especially if you are in the area around New Year's and you're with your lover. There is nothing more magical than watching the famed New York firework display from inside Opera House.

Phuket, Thailand. If you want to live like royalty, why not book a room for you and your lover in one of Phuket's exclusive hotel resorts. Get back with nature as you soak yourself in this paradise, at the same time soak your aching bodies in the cold sea.

Prague, Czech Republic. A date in Prague will be like a blast from the past. Go on romantic walks with your lover along the historical trails of this city, while admiring all the wonderful architecture and artworks. Then cap off the night by having a romantic dinner full of delicious food inside real-life castles.

Agra, India. There is nothing like waking up in one of the best hotels in the world, the exclusive Oberoi Amarvilas Hotel in Agra, India and experiencing a breathtaking view of one of the most famous landmark dedicated to love, the Taj Mahal. With its Moorish and Mughal-inspired architecture, you yourself would want to spend you the rest of your life with your lover, and maybe until after death.

Cairo, Egypt. Be astounded as you admire the Great Pyramids of Giza. Cairo truly is a paradise on Earth with its beauty, elegance and charm, perfect for hopeless romantics like us.

New York, USA. Though you've been hearing all the bad things about this city, a night at New York is still a great idea for lovers seeking an escape from real life. With a wide array of restaurants to choose from and activities to do, being at the Big Apple will truly stick to the hearts of all lovers alike. And you just gotta try the carriage ride around Central Park.

Vienna, Austria. There is a reason why Mozart loved this city. Vienna is one of the most historic cities in the Old Continent, it is very rich in culture and the arts, which is a perfect and classy setting for bringing a relationship to the next level.

Venice, Italy. Imagine yourself riding a gondola with your ladylove, the sound music in the background as you two takes a journey around this historic city. For this reason alone, every couple should be able to experience what Venice love really feels like.

Paris, France. Though it may sound like a cliche, Paris is still the most romantic place in the world. There's a reason why many people fly to this beautiful city, and one of them is the Eiffel Tower. So do we really need any more reason?

So there you go. These are just some of the romantic places in the world where you can have that needed boost to your relationships. But always remember, it is still how you feel that matters when it comes to relationship. You may be stuck in the most romantic spot in the world. But if you don't even like who you're with, it will still be a complete waste.

Dream Date Scenario, Know 'Em And You Might Get Lucky

Yup, dating is one heck of a battlefield. The mind games. The politics. And don't forget the hours and money put into it is enough to make any person crazy. But at the end of it all, every single one of us is still longing for that one magical moment. That special instance where we become truly aware that it is really love that you are feeling. The elusive dream date that came true.

It is really hard to start going out dating. But some of us just have the best luck in the world because they are gifted with that special skill, being a romantic. And this is the first thing you'll need in setting up that magical dream date that usually only happens in TV and movies. But don't worry, if you are not gifted with being a romantic, you can always try these things that we would like to call "Most Romantic Dream Date Scenario." You probably need a lot of preparing for these dates, but it will surely pay off once you have the love of your life falling head-over-heels with you after taking them in these surreal fantasy dates.

The Exotic Date. It's not your usual dinner date with your partner in some cheap Italian or Chinese restaurant. Everybody is just so sick and tired of those. This is set in a very special restaurant with eclectic food, surreal decors and exotic music. Encourage your date to order something he/she have never tried before. You also order something but that is completely different of theirs. This way, you have an excuse to eat off each other's plates just because you guys are trying something new. Then you can take your date to the movie, but not of the latest chick flick or gore-fest, but of some artsy, maybe even a foreign film that will have you looking like someone who is not that boring. Change is good, especially when it comes to dating.

The Dancing Date. No matter what your excuse is, one of the most romantic activity a couple can engage in is dancing. This is especially true for women because this way, they will have a chance to shine. If you're a guy, tell your girlfriend to put on her sexiest black dress because you will take her dancing. And hopefully, your night will end with you sweeping her off her feet.

The Extreme Date. Put some adrenaline in your life, and to your relationship too. Go skydiving, kayaking, bungee jumping, etc. Anything that can have you and your partner's blood go pumping. Excitement is an important factor in a relationship. And this is the best way to bring that spark back in there.

The Rolling Date. Instead of the usual date where you guys head out to some place, why not spend your date while on the road. It will be like your usual road trip, but it can get more romantic and sexy because who knows what might happen when tow lovebirds get alone inside some car. To spice it up even more, go ahead and rent limousine for a more glamorous night on the road. Champagne, strawberries, what more can you ask for?

The All-Out-Date. This is something couple who have been together for some time already can do. Spice up your relationship and take it to the next level by going on a weekend trip together. You can check-in on some hotel by the mountainside. You guys can go hiking or exploring nature. Then maybe go on the hotel's spa and get a side-by-side massage. You can also go dipping in the pool, even get playful with each other while you're at it. A romantic dinner to highlight the wonderful vacation you are having. Then cap it off by spending the night tucked in a blanket as you gaze at the stars above. And maybe, you can do more than that.

A little spice in a relationship won't hurt. In fact, this is something everyone should do to just get away from that monotonous life they are living. Beside, being just together and doing something is something that can help boost the fire on a relationship. So why not take it to the next level and go extra romantic.

Do's and Dont's for Your First Date

Everybody knows that the dating scene out there is such a "dog eat dog world." That is why I believe that everyone just needs all the help they can get when they do find someone that would go out with them.

Convincing another person to go out with may sound like the hardest part. But think again. There is providing that lasting first impression to your date, which is probably the most critical part of them all. What to do on that first night out? What thing should you avoid to turn your date off? Well, let's answer those questions and more so all you daters can go out there and be the master of your craft.

Do's

1. Be on time. As they say, the early bird catches the worm. Punctuality is one key to show your date that you are a responsible individual and you give them importance.

2. Make your partner feel comfortable. If you're the guy, be a gentleman to your date as much as possible. They may say that chivalry have died, but a good gentleman can always get the ladies. For the gals our there, just don't make your date feel like he's under the knife and every wrong move he does will be the end of it for him. In short, make the date as fun as possible.

3. Keep the conversation flows going. Be the true master of linguistics. But you don't have to know many languages and dialects either. Just be able to come up with stuff you guys can talk about. Or if your date is trying to tell you something, a story perhaps, make sure that you listen intently so you can follow-up on his/her stories, maybe something related to theirs.

4. Be an interesting date. Try to prove to your date that you are worth their time for going out. Let them know what skills and talents you have. Or maybe what stuff you like doing that will set you off something more than a couch potato or a lazy bastard. Again, being a good conversationalist will be in hand for this one.

5. Laugh at their jokes. Their jokes may not be funny, but you still have to give them credit for trying to lake you laugh. If you can't laugh, maybe just a smile will do. But don't overdo it either. Don't let your date know that you are getting bored with his/her jokes by just pretending to laugh at them.

6. Talk about their interests also. The date is not just about you.

7. Be a romantic. Everybody is such a sucker for romance, so this is one thing you should be able to play to your advantage. Just don't overdo it.

8. Be confident. Again, not too much. Or you probably end up being a airhead resulting to your date getting fed up with you.

9. Be yourself. Being someone else other than yourself will definitely blow up in your face. First impressions are important, so trying to put your better foot in front is good. But don't ever pretend that you are someone else just because you wanna impress your date.

Dont's

1. Be late. Or else your date will just get up and leave.

2. Talk about yourself all night. Because you are not the only person on this date. And in the whole world for that matter.

3. Ask too many questions. Be interested on your date, but don't overdo it. Or you'll just sound like a freaking stalker or something.

4. Try to be something you are not. Because you are just going to make a fool out of yourself.

5. Talk about an ex-relationship all night. This is probably the biggest mistake you can do. No one likes hearing tales about a former partner, especially on the first date. It's a big insult and will just result to a few awkward moments.

6. Eat with your mouth open. You are not a lion, a tiger or a pig. Be polite.

7. Forget to thank them for the date. Or you probably won't get to the second date.

8. Pursue sex after your partner has said no. This will just put you in a situation where you're date will think you are some kind of a pervert or a nymphomaniac.

9. Propose marriage or kids. Not even people who have long relationship do this. So why would you on the first date.

So there you have it. Good luck and happy dating!
