32 Date Ideas That Give Guys No Excuse To Say 'What Do You Want To Do?'

"What do you want to do?"

We have all heard it, probably more than once. As much as us girls like getting our way, we love it when guys put in the effort when courting us. So when they ask us what we want to do on a date, that they asked us on, we tend to feel a little deflated.

But luckily for all the guys out there, I made a list of some great, inexpensive, and fun date ideas to do. Now, they don't have an excuse to use, and they can use this as a cheat sheet. And of course, it starts with building a blanket fort (because what girl doesn't want to go on a cute blanket fort date?).

1. Build a fort with pillows and blankets, and watch a serial killer marathon while eating pizza rolls.

2. Go to a bookstore and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books.

3. In the middle of the night, go to your towns best sunrise watching area so you get to see the sunrise. Bring your favorite breakfast food to eat.

4. Go thrifting and find the most ridiculous and cutest outfits for each other. Buy either one and wear it out to dinner.

5. Do goat yoga with each other.

6. Go to your local farmers market, buy fresh produce and flowers, and go home and make dinner with the ingredients you bought.

7. Buy the biggest puzzle you can find at Goodwill and spend the day putting it together.

8. Go to a museum.

9. Go on a coffee hop around your city and find the best place to get a latte.

10. Go to different places around town, putting googly eyes on different things.

11. If you have journals, pull them out and read them to each other.

12. Go camping in the backyard. Roast marshmallows, eat takeout, and tell ghost stories (or watch a horror movie).

13. Wash the car together.

14. Watch a documentary together.

15. Give each other $5 and see who can find the coolest thing in a thrift store, and then buy it.

16. Go to Target together and browse through all the aisles.

17. Go paint pottery together, then exchange them.

18. Go on a bike ride together.

19. Dress up and go to a musical you've never heard of/never seen before.

20. Buy canvases and paint each other a picture.

21. Go to the zoo.

22. Ride the light rail and get off at a random stop and pick out your date place according to where you are.

23. Go to a bookstore and pick out a book for each other. Cozy up and read them in each other's presence.

24. Go to the rich neighborhoods and look at all the pretty houses, creating your own dream home.

25. Grab a penny and get in the car. Choose a number between 10-20, which will be the number of times you flip the penny. Get on the road and flip the coin. Heads is right, tails is left. Every time you come to an intersection flip the penny and turn that way. Once you get to the number, stop, and make a date where you are.

26. Blindly scroll through Pinterest for a dinner idea and whatever you stop on, you have to try to make.

27. Road trip to a weird tourist spot in your town/city/state. Make each other playlists with songs that remind you each of each other.

28. Go on a double date with the best friend and significant other.

29. Take old, unwanted books, and make black out poetry together. It can be serious, sad, funny, weird, etc.

30. Go hiking and have a picnic.

31. Volunteer at an animal shelter.

32. Go fruit picking.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
