Dates can be some of the highlights and nightmares of interacting socially. The desire to impress the other person has led to a ‘dating industry’ fueled by expensive cocktails and low-lit bars. Make a statement with an adventurous date and show your love interest or significant other that there is a reason why he or she is with you. Life is too short to eat expensive popcorn and watch a film you would have never chosen yourself while sitting in silence with your date for three hours. Choose the adventurous – and have an unforgettable date.
