 | DatingUnusual Date IdeasPosted Friday, February 8th, 2008 and visited 2032 times, 3 so far today by AG |
When inviting someone out on a date:
- You can reference Genesis 2:18, “It is not good for man to be alone.”
- Write a message in sidewalk chalk with each word about 20′ apart. Call them, disguising your voice, and tell them to follow the message. You can be waiting at the end of the message to ask them out or just leave flowers and a note.
- On a white t-shirt, write lots of peoples names in washable black marker. Write your own name somewhere in permanent marker. The person can wash the shirt to find out which name remains.
- Buy a bag of Hershey’s Kisses. Replace the paper flag with slips of paper with compliments on them.
- Dress in vintage clothing and go swing dancing at a local band stand.
On the date itself:
- Take pictures of items which describe characteristics of your loved one (such as a candy store if they’re sweet) and develop them. Over dinner, share your pictures with the other person.
- Play pictionary only, instead of drawing the picture, use finger paints, play dough, or other unusual mediums.
- Spend time in Scripture together and have a deep, theological discussion of what you’ve read. This can be vital to your relationship.
- Get a ton of instant pudding and whipped cream. Go to a local park and have a pudding fight!
- Make a mix CD and bring a CD player. Find a scenic place outdoors to slow dance as the sun sets.
- Gather pictures from the past. Write the story of how you met and fell in love. Even see if you can get the book printed and bound.
- Take a class on photography, dancing, painting, etc., together at a local community center.
- Visit all the places you would go early in your relationship. Take pictures and reminisce.
Above all else, keep in mind your purposes for the date:
- Strengthen your relationship (both friendship and romance) with the other person.
- Edify the other person and allow them to edify you.
- Allow God to define and guide your relationship to become increasingly like His relationship with his bride, the Church.
- Have fun and enjoy each other!

What unusual ideas! Have you tried any of them?
I really like the washable marker one. If I weren’t married I’d be trying that one!

We have gone swing dancing, though not dressed in vintage clothes.
We’ve spent time in scripture together, though we’ve fallen away from that habit.
We regularly visit places from the past and reminisce about the past. We started dating on June 1, 2004 at the restaurant Old Chicago. So, for almost four years now, we’ve celebrated by having dinner at Old Chicago on the first of every month. The only time we haven’t was when I was in South Africa on my mission trip. We even went to Old Chicago on our wedding night, since we got married on January 1.

But he didn’t ask you out with the erasable marker idea– I’m disappointed!
What is Old Chicago? When I originally read it I thought you were implying that it was a place to eat– but you wouldn’t stay in a restaurant for your wedding night!

It is a restaurant. After we left the reception, we checked into our hotel room, then changed into street clothes and went to dinner at Old Chicago. Their website is http://www.oldchicago.com/Rock...../Home.aspx.
