    Bowling? Ice skating? Walk along the beach if you have one. Hillwalking. Visit to the museum.

    That's just off the top of my head.

    Go for a walk?

    A jog?

    A swim?

    The museum?

    An art gallery?

    A show?

    A movie without the popcorn?

    Sit around and talk?

    Coffee? Tea?

    Take a cooking class at Wholefoods?

    It depends on what your interests are. Just make them known and do something more interesting that out to dinner. I find dinner dates really boring.

    i hate dinner dates, so lazy. plus it usually leads to guys complaining about how much $$ theyneed to spend on dates but it's like if they spend mre time thinking and less time being lazy about dates then they dont have to spend a lot of $$ on dates.

    here are some ideas that guys have done with me

    - bike tour
    - hiking (only if you feel comfortable with that person, i wouldnt recommend this for a first date :laugh: )
    - walking tour around a neighborhood to see architecture. if you live in a city with history this should be fairly easy to put together)
    - museum and galleries
    - concert
    - gym date
    - brewery or distillery tour (hey you said, no food, not no booze :tongue: )
    - volunteering (SPCA, habitat, food bank, etc)
    - hanging out in a park and having a picnic. i know this involves food, but it's also pretty fun because you can bring a bocce ball set, board games, etc

    I went ice skating with a guy last night. Also, if you have any minor league teams around, those games can be a lot of fun and usually aren't very expensive.

    indoor rock climbing?

    couples massage class?

    ooooh... you know what else couples can do that's fun and burns calories? Light some candles and... you know.. have deep conversation or something :-)

    Mini-golf is one of my favorite dates! I also have an arcade near me that you can play all day for $5. It is the coolest little arcade with all retro games - and tons of pinball!

    Farmer's Market or any other little local markets y'all might have. Ditto for antique malls, but you'd have to know your date was interested at all in that sort of thing. Talking about all the stuff you see and just strolling is good fun.

    lol I know it was a joke, but seriously though on the cow tipping thing it is actually very cruel because you can really hurt the cows, especially dairy cows as you can rupture some of their organs when they hit the ground. These are very heavy animals, it would take 2-4 people to do it and the cows are smarter than you think, so it's hard to sneak up on them, so your chances are pretty low that you would actually succeed anyway.

    Great post by the way storing this for future ideas.

    My husband and I do weight lifting dates. It gives us a chance to go together instead of always separate. That way be both get a spot and can lift heavier.

    Haha, okay:)... Behavior on a date:P Okay, Husband and I go rollerblading frequently on the local recreation trails. It's cold now, so our dates have been almost nightly, watching parenting/family-strengthening dvd's after the children are in bed. We actually are really enjoying this.

    My husband and I go bike riding or walking through the many state/city parks in our area. Going to botanical gardens, the arboretum, museums, aquariums and zoo are a lot of fun too.
