My 5 special date ideas - You never thot of ;-)

I was just thinking about this and there must be something more special or fun than the usual date (do we actually still do this?) ideas.

I've scoured the tinternet, picked the brains of exalted love guru's and consulted in high places (ok ok I didnt go that far but you get the gist shei...).

Here's my Top 5 different date ideas -


Numero uno

Yep! You normally eat on a date - why not make it “together” in a cooking class. Show off your wifey skills by banging pans and stirring pots with a culinary lesson. For the guys show that you’re a 21st century dude who knows his laddle from his spatula (at least until the ring is on the finger :-). Who cares if you can’t boil water? It’s a class. You’ll learn how to cook!Try soundbite nigeria @ Park View Estate, Ikoyi


Numero Dos

As the saying goes, if he can dance, he can… hey! What a sneaky way to check out his moves, right? Don’t worry if you can’t dance either; if having two left feet has you nervous, practice some azonto or jay-kolo moves alone before the date. YouTube videos make for the best private dance tutors, trust me!


Numero Tres

Why not get down to Tarzan jetty, grab your date (or the other way round shei) and get on a boat to the popular tarkwa bay or if you feel a bit more adventurous and have bulging pockets, to Ikaare beach resort (it is beautiful). The more lavish ones come equipped with food, drinks and more. The water backdrop makes for something romantic and movie-like.


Numero "Four"

Let the inner child loose. This is a great way to get to know a person: if your date is a self-centered control freak who hates to lose (flashback… yikes!), you’ll find out on game date. Try Get Arena for go kart racing and get your pulse up. 


Numero "Five"

Take a tour - I loved the tour of Nike’s Art Gallery in Lekki, some absolutely beautiful artwork from her and other artists or still in Lekki take a private visit with a tour guide of the Lekki conservation centre (never saw the crocodiles but we were told they were around). Try visiting at a quieter time. 



When you meet someone you’d like to get to know better, try something new. Your date will appreciate the work you’ve put into the planning. So no more first dates featuring dinner and a movie, no matter how five-star chic it is!
