Ruby Slippers Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) OK, so I'm finally dating this awesome guy - yay! - we're going on dates regularly, and he's up for just about anything. We've done a lot, and I'm running out of good ideas, specifically for evening dates. He's more analytical and not as creative, so I feel I might be better suited to thinking this stuff up. Plus, he always drives and still mostly insists on paying, so I have no problem with coming up with ideas. In fact, I like it - I get to suggest whatever I want to do, and he's always up for it Here's what we've already done out: dinner at many different places, jazz clubs, lunch, walk along the lake, beach on a hot day, long walk and slice of pizza, movies, late-night diner. We're both brainy deep thinkers. Here's some of what we both like or are interested in or open to: Technology, science, brainy nerd stuffEntrepreneurship, start-ups, cool businessesMusic and theater of all kindsOther cultures, world travelCooking and food Beyond classy joints like jazz clubs, neither of us is that into bars or clubs for dates. Here are my ideas so far: Comedy clubTheaterSymphonyPlanetarium on a late night (outer spacey show)More music showsCool bookstores, like this awesome used book store I know - and yes, we would both love this! Anybody else have ideas for night-time dates in summer? Edited July 26, 2012 by Ruby Slippers
monkey00 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I don't know where you live, but how about: outdoor concerts outdoor movies food festival theme park picnic/walk in the park bicycling camping/hiking karaoke dance lesson?
Woggle Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Come and visit New Jersey. Just kidding but look on the internet for things to do in Chicago and decide something fun to do.
ptp Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 From personal experience: Planetarium is a must. Natural History museum. Grant park - get some blankets, bug repellent and pack a nice picnic Six flags - I love roller coasters, maybe not your thing. Starved Rock - if you are into hiking Navy Pier Science and Industry Museum - My favorite, though I haven't been for a while Aquarium Zoo
