Everyone has had that moment when they've agreed to go on a date with someone but the place has yet to be established. Sometimes official plans are never even made because a place can’t be decided upon. Now, not all dates work for all kinds of couples, but God forbid anyone ever goes over to a guy's house on one of their first dates when he says to “come over and watch Netflix." You should know exactly where he’s trying to go with that. But don’t worry those of you who want to go on real dates but lack the ideas, I'm here to help.

First, let's start off with something simple. Dinner and a movie. Boom. But wait, here’s where it gets different. If you are asking someone on a date, have the place you all are going and the movie already planned. To make it easier, if you don’t already know what type of food is the other person’s favorite, ask them and pick a restaurant from there. Then recommend a movie. It is the back and fourth indecisiveness that will kill a date before it even starts.

I’ve gone bowling more in college than I have in my entire life and I’m not really sure why, but in my opinion, it’s a pretty safe date idea. Bowling is one of those things where everybody’s generally on the same skill level. So if you’re horrible, it’s really okay. The other person probably isn't all that either.

Roller blading and ice skating are other examples of the activities almost every college student did at a friend's birthday party when they were 8 and haven’t done again in years. If you fall down, it’s seen as endearing. If you’re both bad, it’s hilarious.

I go to the University of Arkansas, so this doesn’t apply to everyone, but the idea does: Go somewhere outdoorsy, walk around a lake, and hopefully the person will stay off their technology long enough to carry on conversations. You’ll get more out of this one-on-one date than if you have a movie or some other activity distracting you.

Go to the batting cages. This might just appeal to me because I played softball. But I’ve gone here on a date and had a blast. You don’t have to have played before to be able to make contact with some slow pitches. Warning: you have to be able to laugh at yourself. It's not for those who get super competitive.

Make dinner for your significant other. You don’t have to be an amazing cook to follow directions to a simple meal. This is incredibly thoughtful and romantic. Your date will be impressed.

Go dancing. The best date I ever went on was when I went two-stepping. We were both AWFUL and ran into everyone else on the dance floor, but I still had a blast. It’s fun, girls love it, and it’s more romantic than grinding on each other at a club.

I’m going to get real cliche with this one. But take your date out at night and away from the city, if you live in one. Bring a blanket and just lay out and look at the stars. Girls retweet this date idea all the time on Twitter and post about it on Tumblr. Girls will tell you the sappy things they want you to do. (Hint: check their favorites on Twitter for things they want you to do.)

During Christmas, this is an easy one. If I put dinner and a movie on here I’m putting this, too. Go to see Christmas lights and then get coffee or hot cocoa after. Those couple pictures are adorable even if everyone on Instagram is tired of seeing them.

Go to the zoo or aquarium. Close to Fayetteville, there is a zoo with baby animals, such as tigers, that you can play with. It's called Gentry Zoo and it's awesome. But even without that attraction, an aquarium is a nice date idea in itself — one that’s considered classic but rarely used. Girls love animals, especially baby animals.

Not every date idea works for everyone; everyone has different interests, talents, and things to do available to where they live. The most important thing about planning a date with someone is having a plan and not going back and forth when deciding on what to do. If you go out with a plan and are determined to have a good time, you undoubtably will.
