Summer Date Ideas
Summer means great weather, tons of time spent outdoors and the shedding of layers. Make sure every second of your summer romance is spent actually romancing your sweetheart, not hemming and hawing over plans, with these Summer Date Ideas...
Stargazing Picnic
Make dinner, grab some bug spray, and head outside or up to the roof to eat under the stars. You can make it romantic by setting up lights, pillows and blankets—your own romantic rooftop fort. Make a playlist for the occasion as you lie back and try to point out as many constellations as you can. It's the perfect setting for a perfect kiss.
Fly a Kite
Kite flying is a great activity date for the couple who wants to get outside but isn't too sporty. It's a fun throwback to being a kid, just active enough to keep things interesting but not so consuming that it prevents you from maintaining a conversation. You'll have a good time laughing together while trying to get your kite in the air (it's surprisingly difficult!), and once it's up, you can kick back and watch it fly while date conversation flows effortlessly.
Attend a Fair or Festival
A fair is a great summer date spot, because it combines all kinds of date activities in one location: food, activity, people watching, and just walking around. You can learn a lot about your date based on their fair preferences: do they like the rides, or prefer the animal showcases? Be sure to hit up the carnival games for some friendly competition, which studies show is one of the most important elements of a date and naturally leads to flirting.
Go for a Bike Ride
Here's a recipe for a totally original summer date that's fun, easy and promotes real bonding. Ingredients: 2 bikes & 1 portable boom box. Bump your favorite summer tunes and ride around the celebrating the season for all to see. Guaranteed "awwwwww" generator.
Brunch and a Matinee
Dinner and a movie? Been there, done that. What about brunch and a matinee? You and your date can indulge by sleeping in, enjoying a nice, leisurely brunch then catching an afternoon flick. If you're on a budget, matinee tickets might come with a discount. A meal, a movie, and then hours of the day left to relax as a couple? Truly priceless.
Now you have some great summer date ideas. But do you have a date?

Boost Your Chances of Finding Love by Booking Up Your Summer
Being single is difficult around the holidays and summer can feel a even worse. While it’s acceptable to lay low during the winter months, it’s harder to justify just hanging out when the rest of the world seems to be enjoying every last UV ray of sunshine.
We all know people who seem to have solid summer schedules, no matter their romantic status. They’re grilling by the lake, hopping on stand-up paddleboards, fishing with nieces and nephews, organizing brunches or happy hours, visiting old high school friends, trying out yoga in the park or joining running or cycling groups. They realize that watching fireworks or an outdoor film is much more fun on a blanket with a sweetie, yet they still manage to set up satisfying single lives. Then there are people who tend to float through lazy summer days. Of course, some people don’t over-plan on purpose.
This is the time of year when the world is sunniest and most alive. The weeks fly by quickly, so be mindful of how you want to spend your time – with or without a significant other.
1) Find activities where you can meet other people.
This advice is pretty standard, but it’s worth repeating. Find things to do where there will be other single people. Check out Meetups, religious organizations, community associations, recreational leagues, alumni groups or the bulletin board at your local sporting goods store or café. There is a shocking amount of things to do out there, and it doesn’t take much effort to learn about them.
2) Find activities where you don’t have to meet other people.
You don’t hear this advice often, but sometimes I think it can be more important than approaching a cluster of eligible singles with nametags. If you’re looking for love, sometimes it’s exhausting always being in a “looking” state of mind. If you think of going on a date as having to put on a “game face,” then it’s time to take a break and reconnect with yourself. Go swimming with your college roommate and don’t worry if your roots are showing. Have a few beers with your cousin at an outside café and really listen to the family gossip without constantly checking out who else is there. Or find an activity where you’re just looking to meet friends. When you’re relaxed and happy, you’ll have a better chance of connecting with someone special later. Bonus points if you swear off eye makeup or dig out those old paint-splattered cargo shorts that no one thinks look good.
3) Create your own adventure.
Maybe you don’t have vacation days or a group of pals available to hang out with. You can organize your own events by asking people you do know to join you at a local concert on the lawn. Or maybe you resolve to try out a new café or craft brewery every week. Want to try out sailing but don’t know anyone with a boat? Add your name to a local yacht club’s bulletin board for skippers looking for crew.
Take charge of your single life and makes some plans. Go on a road trip to visit a special aunt or old friend. Take some pics and post them on your online dating profile. And bring back some good stories to tell your dates.

What NOT to Talk About on a First Date
First dates are scary, nerve-wracking, and potentially awesome. Or terrible. You never know what you're getting into, but hopefully you'll avoid talking about some of the things that could make it turn for the worst...
#1. Your Future WeddingStop yourself right now. Even if you're doing something cute like saving the menu or stealing a pint class from the location of your first date, do NOT mention your future nuptials, the perfect way to scare off an otherwise great date.
#2. Your Ex
This sounds like a no-brainer but the topic comes up, a lot. Chances are, you were close to your ex and have a lot of memories with him or her. Even if you're on good terms, don't mention them. Just don't.
#4. Your Intimate Life
Your date doesn't want to know the last time you've slept with someone and they also don't want to hear how many other people you are (or aren't) seeing. Save that for your friends!
#5 Your Strange Theories
These can be cute and quirky, but maybe more second date material. You don't want to make your date feel awkward if they don't agree, nor do you want to scare them off with your thoughts on the existence or lack thereof of martians.
#6 Your Shrink
You may live in a community where it's popular to see a therapist, and mental health is super important, but you probably wouldn't detail your last dentist appointment and trip to the pharmacy on this date, would you?
#7 Your Cheese Allergy
If you're allergic, just avoid it. No one wants to know or think about what happens when you eat cheese, or whatever it is that makes you ill.

16 Interesting Facts about the "Kiss"
1. When you kiss someone for the first time, you get a spike in the neurotransmitter dopamine, making you crave more.
2. Dopamine can also make you lose your appetite and make it hard for you to sleep.
3. Two thirds of people tilt their head to the right when they kiss. (German researcher Onur Güntürkün discovered this after spying on 224 couples kissing in public places in the United States, Germany and Turkey.)
4. Kissing helps us work out if someone is a good match. (According to biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, we tend to prefer people with particular biological profiles. Trading saliva is one way to figure out if someone is a good fit.)
5. When you kiss someone your heart beats faster and more oxygen reaches your brain. All thanks to neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine which promote the fight-or-flight response.
6. And it makes your pupils dilate. (Which might be why we usually close our eyes.)
7. Endorphins released during kissing bring on waves of euphoria. You can thank your pituitary gland and hypothalamus for this natural high.
8. The muscle you use to pucker your lips is called the “orbicularis oris”. And the shape you make with your mouth mirrors that of a breastfeeding baby, hinting at one possible way that kissing evolved.
9. Nachküssen is a German word that means “a kiss to make up for those that have not occurred”.
10. Kissing triggers the release of oxytocin in your body. Often called the “love hormone”, though that’s not all it does by a long stretch, oxytocin is involved in developing feelings of attachment. It’s thought to be what keeps the love in a relationship alive long after the initial honeymoon period (and dopamine spike) is over.
11. More kissing in a relationship is related to how satisfied people say they are in that relationship.
12. Women tend to rate kissing as more important in relationships than men do.
13. The world record for the longest kiss stands at well over two days. (It’s held by Thai couple Ekkachai Tiranarat and Laksana Tiranarat who set it in the run up to Valentine’s day last year, with a kiss lasting 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds.)
14. Your lips have a disproportionate number of nerve endings compared to other parts of your body.
15. When your lips touch someone else’s 5 out of 12 of your cranial nerves are engaged.
16. Over time, kissing lowers your levels of stress hormone cortisol, making you feel all safe and secure. (The longer you’ve been with someone, the bigger the decline.)
