Summer Dates By David Wygant
People are always asking me for great ideas for dates, and here I am, walking on the beach at about 8:30 at night and there is almost a full moon. We’re in Marina del Ray, facing Playa del Ray right now and we’re watching the planes take off from LAX.
I’m looking at the guys – Rey, Khiem, and Tony – and I’m thinking, what a great romantic night! If only there was a woman here. But there is – Daphne is here.
But what a great thing to do – if you live near a beach, take a walk at night with somebody. It is just one of the most romantic dates you can have. There are so many different sensations. Take your shoes off and allow your feet to have some fun in the sand. Smell the seawater. Walk through the sand near the edge of the water, and feel the difference. Feel the pebbles, listen to the waves.
One of the greatest things to do when there is a full moon is to watch the reflection of the moon on the water. It’s really nice and a great bonding experience.
Just a few minutes ago, we had a male bonding moment. It was like one of those moments from the movie Superbad. Remember that part where one of the characters said to the other, “you’re my best friend, man. I love you like a man!” That was so funny.
But this is a fantastic way to spend a summer night. Just watching the moon and the water – just taking in the sensations. You could even add a bottle of wine and just sit there. Bring a little picnic of wine and cheese to the beach.
If you don’t have a beach near you, another fun thing to do on a date is to go watch the planes take off. Go where the airport is and just watch the planes hit the sky at night. It’s really intense, because if you look in one direction – especially here in Southern California – on certain nights, you can see the traffic in the sky. You can see the sparkling lights of the traffic floating above LAX.
While watching the planes take off, you can also play the ‘guess what type of plane it is’ game. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) I think I’ve been on every single one and I can probably describe the seat layout of every plane that flies above.
But those are some good ideas for some fun nighttime dates – they are different, bonding, romantic, and, best of all, FREE!
Todays video will show you how to train your dog to be the ultimate prop.
But it is not what you are thinking so you will need to watch every second of this video.
David,
There’re so many ways to just have inexpensive dates if you are creative.
I always come to your building David and you know what, did you know you had a roof top that overlooks the city? I thought… man… how wonderful that would be to bring a couple of glasses, some wine, a little blanket and have a girl up there with you.
If people don’t have a nice rooftop, maybe they can find an overlook pass somewhere.
I know that this blog is about evening summer dates, but I’d say…. for people in LA, the Venice Canals can be a great romantic walk. The best thing about it is that you can also visit those expensive open houses while on that walk. You and your date will behave like you are already together b/c you are house shopping… and builds GREAT rapport and fun.ss
Shoot… that hike down Sepulveda is pretty money too…
… great view.
Torrey Pines is hot too…
Naturally, there are some pretty cool things to do on the cheap on the Outer Banks here in NC as well…
my favorite’s frisbee golf it’s very interactive and it’s FREE!! also if the girl can swim i’ll teach them surfing sometimes.
Ya Rey, the best dates are where you share passions with each other, like surfing for example. Hanging out around a museum is another idea that comes to mind, as long as both people enjoy the contents of it.
oh and bookstore is also awesome!
One of my old places was Toys ‘R’ Us…
Hey David I have not seen anywhere on the blog (maybe I missed it?)about how Daphne’s test results were on Friday. I just remembered and thought about your old gal when I watched this video today! I hope no news is good news!
holy waddle canal batman what now.
hey guys its me crazy bob
We’ve missed you Dr. Bob!
Where have you been hiding yourself, for Pete’s sake?? (Who’s this Pete, and how come everything’s for his sake?!
)
zzzzzzzzzzz
what happened to the layout here?? cool though
now, i was supposed to post this comment on the “soulmate” blog.. but it’s gone :O can’t find it..
anyways, i have a few questions as to finding your bootymate.. or, not finding per say.. here’s the thing, there’s this guy at my work who has been single for as long as i have, he was in a relationship (they were engaged even!) with his ex (also a friend of mine) for FIVE YEARS.. compared to my last relationship that lasted for a little over a year..
so.. he asks me: “what do you do when you’re single? i mean.. i want SEX!”
i replied: “me too! damn, i’ve been feeling like this for a month now!!”
then we started talking about sex and relationships…i ended up suggesting for him to make bootycalls.. haha
but lately he’s been flirting a lot with me, and i feel like i’m getting mixed signals from him. like yesterday i asked him “How’s your bootycall situation going?” he said that he was OK with hit, he has his hands.. lol!! he’s single and horny, not desperate.. i agreed with him! cause that’s how i feel
damnit, we’re both single and horny.. who says we’re desperate if we have sex?! on the other side, i have inhibitions.. i think we’re both feeling that sex and relationship go together, if you know what i mean? he’s now single for the first time in a VERY long time, and i don’t think he can have sex with someone he does not have feelings for..
same goes for me..
and yet we’re flirting with each other!!
what do to? a part of me wants to just do it!
anyone?? has anyone been in a similar situation? please do help..
haha, no, i’m not desperate at all! (and this is so the wrong blog to post a comment like this on, but i seriously cannot find the “right” blog)
Hey David great new design, its really cool.
Today its my birthday, and I want to thank you for the positive and empowering influence your teachings and work had in my life this past year.
Its authentic, fun, positive people like you that make the difference. People are becoming too manipulative just to get things (validation, sex) from each other… and that’s completely unnecessary. The PUA stuff its just a big brainwash that kills people natural power of attraction and connection. Create the life you desire, do the things that you love, love yourself and have compassion for everybody. For me, that’s the REAL key and secret.
But hey, you have to confess… Daphne taught you everything you know, didn’t she?
I wish you all the best.
‘Who is this Pete?’
He’s is the flying Dutchman, helloo.
If everything’s for my ’sake’ I’d be half-seas-over to Japan by now :p
JustMe,
How about you do a casual hang out with him outside of work to see if you guys click… and then you can decide if he’s worth becoming a booty mate.
Aw, Pete … how could I forget!
David,
From a woman’s perspective, I LOVE this idea of the beach walk at night for a date … and I actually like that it’s a “free” date as well, because then you don’t have any of the “who pays” and “how much is he spending” uncomfortableness on a first date.
I also agree, that I can think of few other things that are more romantic than this would be.
Great idea!
Khiem – sounds good, he’s going to be studying at the university of oslo as well now.. we’ll be having casual hang outs all the time i guess.. we agreed that i show him around campus
yesterday i went for the casual flirting via SMS.. i told him to stop stripping his clothes for me
cause when he changes his uniform he sometimes CASUALLY (yeah right) comes out of the men’s wardrobe without his shirt on when he knows i’m standing in the hallway.. damn, he’s hooot!
he said he wouldn’t stop stripping for me.. etc etc.
it’s soo much fun to just flirt right now.. made me realize i’m not ready for anything serious right now..
i’ve never been like this though..
life is funny! huh..
