Just because it’s snowing doesn’t mean you have to stop dating.
There’s lots you can do outside that will create an entertaining and unforgettable date. Not only with they get your adrenalin going and raise your temperature but they won’t cost you much either. I’ve put together a few ideas for some brilliant dates in the snow. Just remember to warn your date to wrap up warm!
Snowman Building: Very simple but very entertaining. Bring along a few buttons, carrots and bbq brickettes. By building a snowman together you’ll both bond quickly.
Snow Paint: This is great fun. Mix some food colouring with water and put it in a spray bottle. You can then take turns to squirt it on the snow and create works of art.
Sledging: Not just for kids. You can either buy one for about £10 or make your own from a piece of wood or cardboard.
Snow Golf: You’ll need a couple of golf balls for this. Dig some holes together in the snow and take turns trying to get the balls into them. You could even bury some empty tin cans to make the holes even better.
Snow BBQ: I did this once and it worked really well. Take along a disposable BBQ and some food to cook, along with a flask of hot chocolate. Your date can’t fail to be impressed and they’ll never forget it!
Warning: Snowball fights aren’t an especially good idea for a first date, but if you already know them they can be quite flirtatious if done playfully.
Finally, make sure you’ve researched a warm pub you can go on to afterwards to thaw out – ideally somewhere with a roaring fire!
