I'm newly single and now find myself with the ability to go on dates with women but instead of how I usually do it (Nice dinner, drinks at a bar, coffee shop, hang out at Barton Springs) I'm looking to make some first dates more memorable. So, I'm asking for some interesting ideas for a first date. I'm also looking to honestly not spend a bunch of money (not on the first date at least.) Hollerboard, ideas for something unique, cheap, and memorable?

YGG!

i just went on a date to the beach and it ruled. pack a lunch, drive down together playing white bmore-ish road trip songs, roll around in the sand, go for a swim and give each other piggyback rides. we saw some dolphins which were extra dope. afterward hit up the boardwalk and eat shitty pizza, take in some rides and do some photo boothing. never not a fun time. plus you get to show off each other's physical attractiveness, which is always dope.

drinks

When I used to date the best thing I found was to invite the girl over for dinner. Crack a bottle of wine when she gets there and shmooze/talk it up while you cook dinner. That way y'all can get to know each other and you have stuff to do to keep the nerves down. She is impressed and a little buzzed, and after you can call it a night or go out for a drink/whatever.

shooting rats at the dump

Good suggestion. What should I wear to this? This seems like maybe a beatnik jive turkey activity and I don't fare well with beatnik jive turkey attire, but am willing to try new things. Also, what kind of ammo works best?

You're in Austin? Hill country wineries bro!

Little pro tip - plan ahead and start at the winery furthest away and start so that you finish before it gets dark for safe driving....also don't get smashed. Bring a picnic with cheese and fruit and some fancy sandwiches and then buy a bottle at one of the spots and drink it with your lunch/early dinner.

Greenbelt hikes are always fun.

Also Hamilton pool is a better date spot than barton springs and it's FREE.

Frisbee golf.

Is that pitch and putt still there right south of the river?

Fredericksburg day trip...

I'm assuming you're in Austin since you mentioned Barton Springs so if you're not, nevermind...

I guess it depends on how good of a shot you are. The worst thing you can do in this situation is come up empty handed and not have a rat pelt to gift her with. If you're a bad shot, I'd say sawed-off. If you're a good shot, something with flare like a handgun with an ivory grip.

man does this ever get girls wet
dont forget to bring a buck knife to skin em afterwards

I don't know if they have any Moth story telling events in your city (TheMoth.org) but I recently took a date to one and it was a major win. spent abt $45 total ($6 tickets, drinks) and sat back and enjoyed other ppl telling stories breaking the ice for cool convo in-between performers.

ice skating!

Just pull a naked man.
Free, memorable, and actually works 2 out of 3 times.

;}) you're welcome ;})

here are some texas activities for you

hot air balloon ride w/a flask full of whiskey
go to schlitterbahn and get frozen lemonade there
go horseback riding on some sweet AUS trails and then go get kolaches at shipley's

just took my girlfriend down to texas for the first time.

perfect day trip:

houston -> kolache factory 730am -> i10 -> buc-ee's flagship in luling for gas/trinkets/bigred -> city market in luling to grab meats (they go on sale at 9:30am) -> hamilton pool -> best picnic ever + beating texas heat -> drive back into austin and walk around south congress/grab a snack from the obscene amount of food trucks they have set up -> hruska's bakery for snacks -> back in texas before rush hour.

its $10 a car now.

I bounce down to Austin pretty frequently and one of my date standbys is the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, it's pretty cheap and offers the sort of lighthearted, quasi-educational fun that women I fancy tend to enjoy. You can follow this up with a quick trip to the capital building if your would-be-baby-gurl is into that sort of thing and then hit up a nearby restaurant. BOOM. BONE ZONE.

Get high.

Get burritos.

Watch Wet Hot American Summer and let it happen.
