Would an arcade be ok for a date when you're nearly 40 or is it too immature?

Are there any places near your home that put on plays or theater productions? That could make for a nice date.

When I said arcade I mean a place like Dave and Buster's. It has a full menu as well as cocktails and beer and I see corporate events advertised on their website. Kids are allowed, but it's not like Chuck E Cheese or anything. I see they have some vintage games like a giant Pacman and pinball as well as carnival type games and other games like pool and skee ball. It just seemed like so many activities we'd be able to find something that we'd enjoy doing together. Then again I don't know how women think and don't want to scare her off by a choice like this 

 

So you wouldn't do it other than for a group outing? Would bowling be ok then?

I am 35. I would love this a whole lot. 

 

Bowling, an escape room, lazer tag, axe throwing, go carting, cat cafe if she likes cats, paint night, go to the museum, board game cafe if you have one nearby?  

Even if it wasnt my cup of tea, I'd go and have fun, enjoy my evening and appreciate the thought that went into planning an evening with me. 

I'd feel really special. With that said, I'm not a huge movie goer (I like movies in while laying on the couch,) don't like drinking and avoid the typical date night outings.

Any waterfront date, especially at night, is romantic.  A restaurant with a lake or ocean view.  Someplace you've seen that has a really nice romantic patio (nice weather only.)  Like there is this "haunted" restaurant with crap food just outside of Dallas, but their patio is glorious either night or during the day, lush vegetation all around.  

I've been to D&B for parties a few times as an adult and all I ever did there was drink and played pool one time.  Food horrible, kids everywhere = not romantic (unless she has kids and you want to bring them).  

This is only special times, but once in awhile, the zoo has a night at the zoo when they're open and have lights around.  Still a lot of kids, I imagine, but probably not packed.

 an escape room,

That would be fun, the only thing is that his date would have to be the type to enjoy it otherwise he would be doing it himself, of course they would have to tag team into another group since they normally take 5-6 people to do an escape room.

I've done them with up to 9 people and we are always glad that there are that many people there since it takes everybody to win.

Yeah.. I like that idea...

When I was in high school/college I used to go on group dates and even spent some time along with a girl I liked and we did some activities like that. One of my fondest memories was dancing on one of those dance arcade machines with this girl I really liked and we were both laughing like crazy. That's when I was 18 though. Recently I've also taken a woman to mini golf, which she seemed to enjoy. For me something active like that is a lot more fun than a restaurant or watching something, but I know what I like and what women like are not always the same.

Based on the responses here I think I need to do a better job figuring out what kind of woman I'm dealing with and if she's interested in those kinds of activities

There are several, but I don't normally go to them. That's something else I could look into.

I agree that she should like it but I do also think he should invite her out to do things he enjoys doing. Maybe sending her some ideas first and having her choose something would be best, OP

 

If he is into being outdoors, finding someone who is a home body who hates the outdoors is something he should learn sooner than later in my mind. Weed out the women you dont mesh with early! Hahaha

If she is someone who hates all the same fun things he does, maybe she isnt for him anyhow and it would help bring that to the surface sooner than later. Even if Lazer Tag isnt something I do regularly, I would really dig the idea that he thought enough about me and our date to plan something fun for us to do vs just going to the nearest Steakhouse for dinner.
