Most men conjure up grandiose first date plans that are a sure-fire way to floor their dream dates. While the super-rich may actually be able to fly their date around three continents in a day in a privately-chartered plane, other mere mortals just have to keep their feet firmly grounded and come up with other creative first date ideas that are equally exciting.

Fly High; Dive Low…

Planning a day at the beach just sunbathing is passé. How about planning a day at the beach with an extra twist? Arrange to go parasailing and marvel at the bird's eye view of what lays beneath. Or, go scuba diving and get another completely different view of what lays beneath. If you both love the water but would rather stay above it, hire a yacht and go out at sea to get a closer look at dolphins frolicking in the water. All are equally exhilarating, unique and unforgettable.

Life is an adventure…

Forget about booking a table at a restaurant for dinner; everybody does that! If adventure is something both of you like, arrange to have dinner around a campfire in the mountains. Arrange to spend the day or a couple of days, mountain biking, trekking and rock climbing and give new meaning to the words “Love and fresh air”. With nothing and no one to disturb the two of you, this is the perfect opportunity to get to know each other well.

Starry, starry nights…

Both of you as passionate about the stars as you are about each other? What better way to spend your first date than star watching. You can take some time off to gaze into each other's eyes as well. You could go to the planetarium and get a view of the different constellations from a telescope, or you could set up a telescope as well as a midnight picnic right in your backyard or garden.
