Tired of going to the same place over and over again for your dates? Not to mention dishing out hundreds and hundreds of dollars to eat out at an expensive restaurant; only to have your date, say to your face that she never wants to see you again?

For those individuals whose answer is yes, do not get discouraged, because your dating lives is about to change.

Here is a list of some fun dating ideas that will surely be a change from the usual boring dates.

1. Go to a karaoke bar. Unleash the American Idol wannabe in you by taking your date and yourself to a local karaoke bar. This is a sure way to have fun and some laughs. The great thing about this is that one does not necessarily have to possess a golden voice - just a great sense of humor, and a thick skin that can withstand being laughed at when you try and fail to execute those high notes!

2. Instead of going to an ultra expensive restaurant that serves dishes with portion sizes fit for an elf, why not plan a picnic instead? Not only will individuals be able to save some money this way; but they would also be able to impress their dates by including some of their favorite foods in the picnic basket!

When going on a picnic date it is important to choose a location that offers some peace and quiet. This way, couples would be able to talk with each other. One of the best places to have a picnic is somewhere beside a lake. Having the lake as part of the background is very romantic! Just like a scene out of a movie.

3. A comedy club is a great place to take your date, especially if he or she loves to laugh! For those who are on a first date and can't think of a way to break the ice, seeing a comedy act will give them something to talk about! So no more rehearsing of lines, and topics for conversation. This usually never works. It only ends up boring your date!

4. It sounds cheesy, but it works! For a first date, why not go to a romantic movie? This will even give couples an excuse to holds hand inside their greasy tub of popcorn! The great thing about this is that they don't need to say a word to each other, because the characters in the movie will do the talking for them with their sappy dialogue. This is perfect for those guys who automatically go into freeze mode when it comes time to chat up their dates!

When it comes to dating the secret is to get creative! Do not do what everybody else has done before. Think of something new and memorable. Before a special date, individuals should try to find out what type of activities their dates are into! This way, they would have an idea of what types of things they should incorporate into their itinerary for that special date.

Individuals should make sure that they devote a lot of time and some thinking into planning their dates. For sure the person that they're going out with will appreciate their effort in trying to make the date a special occasion. Chances are if they pull this off, their special someone will reward them with another date!
