Dinner and a movie dates have their purpose but when you have been dating for a while, some added spice might be needed. Stepping outside of the box and trying something new together can greatly improve your relationship. These three date ideas are new and exciting ways to strengthen your bond while having a good time.

Most men have been to an all American steakhouse but what about a Brazilian steakhouse? While still serving top quality cuts of meat, Brazilian steakhouses are served gaucho style. Essentially, your meal is similar to a game of red light, green light. Once seated you have the option of a huge salad bar. A server delivers you a basket of delicious cheese bread known as pão de queijo and polenta sticks.

When you turn your disk to the green side, servers surround you with several delectable choice cuts. Meats include top and bottom sirloin, filet mignon, rib eye, beef and pork ribs, sausage, chicken wrapped in bacon, lamb and pork loin. This never ending list of meats can be prepared to your liking but are usually served medium rare. When you have had your share, turn your disk to the red side to stop servers from coming. Surely any manly man will love you for this meat filled evening.

If your idea of a good evening is not having servers bring two of every animal Noah's ark style, try your hand at paintball. This activity will have both you and your man bringing out your inner child. There are many paintball fields across the country that will cater to your needs.

As a couple you will be placed with the general public rather than receiving a private field. You can either play against each other or as a couple against other paintball participants. Outdoor and indoor courses are offered at many facilities along with. While paintballs do not stain the clothes it is recommended that you wear old clothes. Also, the sting from being hit ranges from a light pinch with no bruise to a slightly more painful hit which can leave a temporary welt. Hopefully your sweetie will kiss your wounds.

For a romantic pain-free, meatless activity venture into the skies. Helicopter tours have grown in popularity and are an adventurous romantic date idea. You and your honey can soar over the city and see the night lights. Major cities like New York and San Francisco offer tours specifically of major attractions including the Statue of Liberty and Golden Gate Bridge. Since you're at higher altitudes the cool air will leave you no choice but to cuddle up and enjoy. Tours range in price based on the time of tour and length. Most cities small and large offer some form of sky high tour or adventure.

No matter which idea you choose make sure to appreciate the best part. Spending time with your loved one and enjoying their company is the main event while the fun activity is just icing on the cake.
