"After my last encounter on the subway, I wasn&amp;#x27;t exactly excited to return, but this cute couple might have inspired me to get back on the horse train. College couple James Doernberg and Kai Jordan went on what might be the cutest /craziest/longest date ever: For nine hours, they rode around the subways of New York City, stopping at every single station in Manhattan to take a selfie. That&amp;#x27;s 118 stations/snaps! (Technically, there are officially 143 stations in Manhattan&amp;amp;#8212;but, if each station complex is counted as one, then there are 118). Given the temperatures in the city right now&amp;amp;#8212;weather.com tells me the current temperature is 103! I repeat 103!&amp;amp;#8212;and the fact that a subway station tends to be approximately 115 degrees on a cool day anyway, this has the potential to be a sweaty disaster. But somehow, this couple made it adorable. Check out all their pics here. I just love the idea of turning date night (or date all-day) into a sort of self-imposed challenge or scavenger hunt. It gives you a fun activity and a sense of being on a team together, and although there&amp;#x27;s technically no point/prize, the memories would be so worth it! If you&amp;#x27;re in the mood for a creative, slightly silly date, here are eight ideas to get you inspired. Or make up your own and share below! If the subway isn&amp;#x27;t your cup of (smelly) tea, or you don&amp;#x27;t have public transportation where you live, do a road trip by car or a walking tour where you take a photo according to a different set of criteria. Perhaps every street sign in your neighborhood, or in front of the &amp;quot;Welcome&amp;quot; signs to a few different towns close by. Taste a sample at every booth at your local farmers&amp;#x27; market. (Um, yum, don&amp;#x27;t mind if I do this every weekend.) Ride every roller coaster at an amusement park. Maybe twice? Sample all the beers on tap at a craft beer bar. (But probably you should spread this one out over the course of a few dates, not all in one. And definitely not while driving.) Visit every museum in town over the course of a month&amp;amp;mdash;or a year, depending on how big of a city you live in! Find a local newspaper or blog list of the top five pizza places in town, and make a weekly date at each of them in turn. Don&amp;#x27;t forget to Instagram the photos and vote your final rankings at the end. Go watch every big summer blockbuster, even the ones that sound embarrassingly bad. As a bonus, you could try to see them each at different theaters if there are a lot in your area. See how many people you can get to agree to be in a picture with the two of you, and what kind of crazy poses you can get them to do. Have you ever done something crazy like this on a date? What would you want to do along these lines? And seriously&amp;amp;#8212;go look at all of the couple&amp;#x27;s photos; aren&amp;#x27;t they SO cute?
