Excitement is in the air. Spring is here and with it the chance for romance. This spring, try some alternative dates to get the most out of the good weather.
Spring allows us the opportunity to have more novel dates — ditching the boring dinner and a movie for a fun date outdoors can breed romance a lot quicker than you think.
The outdoor date is an important one. I don't need to tell you how much more enjoyable they can be. But I think the outdoor day-time date has lost popularity in recent years, and that's a shame.
The constant complaint about dates is that people don't know what to say or do. Outdoor dates help combat the problems. Focusing on the activity will take off the pressure you feel to constantly be communicating.
Besides the obvious — walking up and down Mass Street, eating outside, or enjoying live music outside, there are a lot of great opportunities for dates in Lawrence.
I'm a big fan of going to Clinton Lake. You could enjoy the beach or you could go boating. There is also a golf course nearby where you could hit range balls and have fun. Who cares if you don't play golf, it would be fun and cheap to do your best Tiger impression (non-sexual reference).
There is also a great lookout tower on the south side of town. You could be really romantic and have a picnic at any of the many parks Lawrence has to offer. I recommend going to World Market to get your supplies. They have many items that would work perfectly for a picnic.
You could even play Frisbee golf off of 9th and Iowa. Purchase a couple disks at Sunflower Bike Shop and be on your way. You could enjoy a baseball game at Hogland Ball Park. You could easily go biking on many of the trails in Lawrence — including the trail right along the river.
Sometimes Lawrence shows outdoor movies. If you enjoy your produce you could go to the farmers market or a produce farm and get supplies for the meal you cook later. You could give an outdoor massage (sexual reference).
Whatever you decide, outdoor dates are a great way to reduce nerves and build attraction. Besides the endless outdoor dates Lawrence, Kansas City also provides a lot of great opportunities to enjoy the weather.
Keep your eye out for opportunities around
town such as outdoor concerts, festivals and attractions. If you worry about making a good first impression or building attraction, outdoor dates are for you.
