The shift from dinner-and-a-movie to hiking dates felt weird at first...

I used to do the whole restaurant thing every time until I took someone trail walking near Lake Tahoe and realized you actually talk way more when there's no waiter hovering over your table, has anyone else switched to activity dates and noticed the same thing?

omg yes this is literally me lol. took this guy to a mini golf place once and we ended up talking for like 3 hours between putting and grabbing snacks. way less awkward than sitting across from each other at a table trying to figure out what to say.

@alicesingh mini golf is such a perfect date idea, the whole snack bar break thing really takes the pressure off.

My buddy took a girl to one of those trampoline parks for a first date and she sprained her ankle on the third jump. They spent the next hour in the urgent care waiting room and apparently that was the best conversation they ever had, he said the awkwardness just disappeared because they were both too busy being annoyed at the situation. Makes me wonder if forced chaos actually helps people open up more than a quiet hike or a movie ever could.
