This one is a bit different because it does involve other people. Craig and I play slo-pitch every spring and summer. This year we decided to sign up as individuals. We signed up with the Calgary Sport and Social Club and they made a team up for us. We ended up on a great ball team who we have a lot of fun with. It cost about $100 for the season, which sounds like a lot but we play at least 8 games in a season which adds up to $12.50 a game.

Katie's review:
I love this idea. I love doing things in groups with my boyfriend and not just the 2 of us all the time. I also love slo-pitch. It's a win-win for me.

Craig's Review:
I agree with Katie 100%. If you enjoy playing team sports then this option comes out on top all the time. While its not a private, intimate way to spend time with each other, its good for realationship building as team sports require a positive influence towards the players to maintain a good team. Not only do we score runs at the diamond, we also score quality time together once a week guarnteed!

Dinner at someone else's house
This is a great idea, but it does require some great friends and family to pull it off. We were invited to my brother's house for a surprise date. The only details we knew about the date was the time we needed to show up. The anticipation was really fun.
When we got to their house they had made us a Raclette dinner and dessert.
Here's a link if interested:

They also made us some trivia cards and fun little know facts to read to each other throughout dinner.
I should mention that it was just Craig and I for the date.
Katie's review
I think this is a great idea to have someone else plan a date for you. Then you can reciprocate.

Craig's review
Very interesting concept for a date, but quite enjoyable. Coming up with a clever way to entertain your family and friends is fun in itself when planned with a partner. Katie and I had a very enjoyable time visiting with her brother and sister in law prior to dinner and then also enjoyed melting every slice of cheese over our little meat toasty sandwiches!

The Soft Pretzel Date
Okay, this date is dedicated to Craig and his friends. You know who you are and you're welcome.
There was a cold day a couple weeks back and we decided to finally do the 'pretzel' date. We had to run a couple errands at the mall, so after a quick walk around the mall we headed to the pretzel stand. When we got there they were all out of pretzels. You get the idea though. A walk around the mall and a dessert pretzel could be considered a date.
Katie's Review
Since the pretzels were sold out we had a cinnamon bun, which was wonderful. I think the point is that you can turn some boring errands into a date as well. In comparison to some of the other dates we've had it doesn't rate so high, but it wasn't bad either.

Craig's Review
Seriously gentlemen, if you want to swoon a girl, TAKE HER OUT FOR A SOFT PRETZEL! Who doesn't love a delicous twisted doughy treat? I thought this would be a huge hit, just because soft pretzels are soo good. But to be fair, walking around the mall kinda sucks. Try getting a soft pretzel and then going for a walk in the park instead.
