  Take your date to the nearest beach, pool or water-park for a splashing good time. Playing some water-sports will help you both feel exhilarated and fresh. It will also encourage some skin-to-skin contact which can help ease the dating tension and make for a natural transition to romance. Kissing your date under water is a great way to remember your first kiss in the future.
  
  

Plan an Adventurous Picnic

  Take your date on an adventurous picnic in a place you have both never been to. Choose a place you would both enjoy, such as a canoe trip across a lake, a zoo or an outdoor museum. Choose a place where you are likely to find a secluded spot after you tour the attractions and wind down with some one-on-one time while enjoying fine wine, cheese and crackers. It will be exciting and romantic.
  
  

Amuse Your Date at the Amusement Park

• A trip to the amusement park is exciting, especially if you have to hold on to each other during the thrill-rides. You'll get a chance to show off your skills and leave your date with a keepsake to remember you by when you win a prize playing the games. Top it off by sharing a delicious amusement park dessert and hand-feeding your new companion.
  
  

Couples Cooking Challenge

• Pair up with another couple and challenge them to a cook-off. Choose a game with your date you'd both like to play and have the other couple choose one. The four of you each choose a dish and prepare a meal together, whichever couple does it best, gets to select the game you can all play after your cooking challenge is complete. You'll have fun working as a team with your new date, enjoy a meal with friends and get some bonding started as you and your date try to win against the other couple. Having friends around will help shake off the dating jitters.
