Spot the Other Dates

Dating is fun and exciting but it can also be quite stressful and nerve-wracking. It can therefore be fun to try and spot which other couples in a restaurant or cinema you might think are also on a date based on their body language and chemistry. It sounds silly, but reflecting the pressure of your own date into speculation about the others will help you both to relax and it will remind you that it's just a date and is supposed to be enjoyed.

Bowling

Ten Pin Bowling is often considered to be a classic dating game because the element of competition creates an opening for some playful banter and flirtatious exchanges. Helping each other with your swings may also provide an opportunity for physical contact. To relieve any dating nerves, you could also invite another couple to double date, as bowling can be more fun when there is more competition. As well as being a fun game and a lively environment, many bowling alleys also have facilities for drinking and eating to add to the experience.
Computer Games

Playing computer games together is a light-hearted way to get close to each other on the sofa. The newer generation of game consoles has put greater emphasis on physical activity and party games which will get you both moving and thinking together. Dancing games in particular will provide a point of attraction and flirtatious comments. If you prefer stepping out when on your date, you could always go to a video arcade to play some retro classics including shoot 'em ups and racing games.
