Dinner Date Ideas

We've all been on hundreds of dinner dates before... sit down, eat, fumble with your napkin, laugh at bad jokes, look awkward together, try to ignore the awkward silence that builds between you, then go home and get ready to do it all over again.

If you're like a lot of people, you realize that the traditional dinner date ideas are out of style, and that nobody wants to hassle with it anymore. Finding new dinner date ideas can be hard... but isn't it worth it to give them an enjoyable dinner date, and make yourself stick out in their mind for a long time?

Picnic Dinner

This is good if you're low on cash, or just want something different and new. Make a normal dinner - anything works, really, considering that you're not leaving your house. You can also order take out, and make it a 'Take-Out-At-Home' picnic - a meal like Chinese works great, but pizza will make do in a pinch.

Clear off most of your living room floor - push the table to the side, and the furniture against the walls - and spread out a thick, plush blanket. Make sure that it's soft enough to be comfortable, but sturdy enough to hold up against spills.

Put on some nice music, lay out your food so that it looks nice and set up a handful of candles around - the more you have, the better. Then invite your partner over, and show them the beautiful indoor picnic that you've created.

Dinner Theatre

A unique twist on the standard 'dinner and a movie' date, this is something that almost anyone can enjoy, and usually isn't too pricy - certainly cheaper than some restaurants out there.

Dinner theatre is available in most larger cities, and even some small cities with a decent community theatre scene, and you can find a whole host of different plays available. Comedy is always a great choice, but a more serious play can be fun, too - just remember to not take the entire play too seriously.

Afterwards, go out for coffee and discuss the play, and critique the actors... remember, though, they're working hard and doing their best. They don't get paid much, if anything, to do that!

Home Made, Slam-Bam Fortune Cookie

Grab Chinese take out, but make sure to serve it on a plate - not out of the carton (That's okay when it's just you, but not very classy for a date!) - and set up your entire apartment nicely. If you want to go for a romantic night, candles and flowers are a must. If not, sit down in front of the TV and put on a movie-night, with their favorite movies and your own.

After dinner, serve a fortune cookie with a personalized fortune... no, this won't cost you a bundle! It's actually quite easy.

Take a razor and make a small slit in the side of the fortune cookies bag, then pull the cookie out. Don't break the cookie, or it won't be worth the hassle. Take tweezers and carefully pull the fortune out, then grab your computer and a printer, and type your own!

Anything from 'That Wasn't chicken' to 'You will indeed fall madly in love with -name- and live happily ever after'... even 'You look beautiful tonight, -her name-' would work beautifully. Print it out, cut it to the size you need (Make sure to make it a small font!), and serve!

Overall...

Try to be unique when you're thinking of dinner date ideas, and never presume you know what they like... you might think sushi is a great idea until their neck swells to three times its size because you didn't realize that they were allergic to an ingredient in the sauce.

That's never a good date! (but would be memorable...)
