Are you the life of the party? Do you love going out and experiencing all the cultural events life has to offer? Some people are homebodies; they like staying in and catching a flick on the boob tube. Other couples enjoy mixing up their activities. So if you’re an active dater, here are some ideas to keep you and your partner-in-crime busy.

A Music Festival

What better way to get to know someone than a music festival or concert? You can test out their musical tastes for one. Plus, people are deeply fanatical about music. Discussing the finer points of your favorite band is a surefire way to get things heated up.

Art museum parties

If you care more about Dash Snow than Miley Cyrus, then an art museum is an ideal place for a date. Art museums offer an alternative to the bar scene for the well-traveled, cultured types. The best part is most cities have a “First Friday” which is basically an open house at the local galleries and museums. They often serve free wine, so it’s a cheap date to boot!

Trivia Night

Friday and Saturday nights are a no-brainer for most bars; the crowds come automatically. But on slower weekday nights, many bars host events like readings or trivia nights. Trivia nights are great because you can bond together while you try to come up with answers to the tough questions. As an added bonus, you can see how smart your date really is.

Go dancing

There’s nothing sexier, (and more fun), that learning to move your money maker.  Even if you're not the most coordinated person, learning can be half the fun. Try something sultry like Salsa or Tango. Just stay away from something too stiff like the Waltz. You want to relax and have a good time after all. Look into local salsa clubs for free lessons or take an actual ballroom dancing class.
