Ecko is that what you usually do a bit exetreme for someone who not date for quite sometimes. Do something old fashion but usually people do like movie, karaoke, clubbing, nice dinner or go to a concert. Later when you know that person better ask again.
Can you get any more boring than that? Stop doing what every other guy does. There's a reason the girl you asked out is single, it's because she's dutched all the guys that has brought her to those same boring places. I'm not saying NEVER go, but it shouldn't be your first few date anyways. You'd most likely be seen as pushing too hard and too fast. But since the topic doesn't say first few dates or not... You can make a date out of anything, just makes sure that she knows that you put some thought into it (without directly telling her) and you'll be much better off.
Well there are good girls in most places, so if you see any fit girls that you think will be good for you just don't be scared and just go over to them! if you see good-looking girls that you like, and be quiet then you will never get a girl...
Mini golf... then you can teach her how to stroke it. & I really wouldn't be inclined to take anybody for a boat ride on a date... unless you know the person like real well already. It'd turn into a disaster if she gets seasick. You can also go to the planetarium.
I like to take my dates to horse racing. Most likely, they have never done it before...and just make sure you bet more than her. If you both lose, she won't feel as bad. If you win, then you have just won yourself and your goodluck charm a dinner date!
avoid sports events like the avian-flu! i mistaken took a girl to a football (or soccer) match and my team lost -- i kinda forgot about my date until the end of the game, afterwhich she had seen the tribal-caveman... she never did get back to me for that second date!
