What is a good date idea?

A picnic is nice, preparing it yourself means putting in more effort than just buying restaurant food... and it's also not really that hard. I definitely recommend it!

what my bf and i do is to watch a DVD that we each picked and rented at whoever's house then go out and walk and window shop, enjoy a smoothie, eat a small dinner or snack . also, try doing a picnic thing with your gf-that would be something that she least expects it, then go and ride your bikes on the trails in a park or something casual yet romantic. also, surprise her by taking her to the Ren Fest if you can-that was an awesome date and surprise my bf pulled off! and if that is not good enough try clubbing-i know it is not the idea of a date buy my bf and i did that and it was awesome!

Take in mind something she really enjoys or hasn't ever done, or something she hasn't done in a long time. It will show how thoughtful you are, and how much she means to u.
