"We try to keep you guys supplied with creative date ideas to spice up your love lives, so I&amp;amp;#8217;m ashamed to admit I&amp;amp;#8217;m such a dating bore. Her leather pants are worthy of a totally awesome date, right? I was checking out our friend and former Smitten blogger Joanna at Cup of Jo this week and I was loving her story about her unusual date with her husband--they attended a trapeze class! (And managed to look super adorable while flying through the air, natch.) No worries about stale conversation and your man secretly checking baseball scores on his cell phone during that date. I thought about my recent dating record, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty much standard drinks, occasional dinners, and a few movies. Boring! While I think that&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty standard for first dates (especially when they&amp;amp;#8217;re with guys you met online&amp;amp;#133;best to start it off simple when you&amp;amp;#8217;re not sure if there will be an in-person attraction) I also realized I can&amp;amp;#8217;t really think of any crazy unusual dates I&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever gone on, even with boyfriends. I don&amp;#x27;t even think I&amp;#x27;ve been to on like, a museum date, which isn&amp;#x27;t even that creative. I&amp;#x27;ve all kinds of fun things with my friends--cooking classes, pumpkin carving parties, trips to the zoo and botanical gardens--but my dating history has just been one endless whirl of happy hours. My whole life has been one giant dating rut! Help me out Smitten readers: What&amp;amp;#8217;s the most unusual date you&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever been on? I mean unusual in a fun way, but hey, feel free to tell me about any unusually bad dates too. Hopefully I&amp;amp;#8217;ll be able to implement some of your ideas into my own dating rotation soon. If you can&amp;amp;#8217;t think of any crazy dates you&amp;amp;#8217;ve been on either (join the boring club!) here are some ideas to get you going: *Anyone Else Sick and Tired of Dinner and a Movie?
