Where Should I Go?

    Here's the beauty of a date like this, it doesn't matter at all. As long as you aren't driving off a cliff this one should be a no-brainer. Grab your partner, get the keys, and away you go. The goal here should be talking and sightseeing. Even if it's the same old town you live in or the city, you two are here to talk about the future, current ambitions, and anything that comes to mind like, "That dude's hat is weird," or "Did you see that stunning house!" Just let the conversation flow at its natural pace and don't be afraid to ask random things because that's why you are here. Too many people are caught up in the game of trying to seem cool and nonchalant which turns into hurt relationships that never form any true meaning. Let's change this though and add some brownie points by bringing your partner to a special place to see something like a sunset or a cool thunderstorm rolling in.

Where did You Go?

    Kandace and I took a drive around town through both the country and our suburbs area. This allowed me to show her places in the country that she had never seen while enjoying a pretty sunset. This helped us not only talk about the scenery but also our life stories and the different things we have experienced. Towards the end of the drive though we of course had to stop for a sweet treat and get some ice cream at Sylas and Maddy's which is both our first date spot and our favorite ice cream place in town!

Overall

    While this may seem boring on the surface, it's up to you to make it entertaining through your talk and where you drive. This may not be my favorite date, but it helps establish if you and your partner can just be yourselves and talk freely. I feel this is huge as it can help keep that spark going and let you learn more about your partner!

We also got to drive around in my family heirloom, a Matco Diamante, one of 13 in the world!

 Surfs Up! Enjoy Each Other's Hobbies     Being able to enjoy each other's hobbies is crucial when it comes to having a long-lasting relationship. This isn't to say you have to love absolutely everything that your partner does, but you need to at least be able to love some of the stuff your partner does. While people say opposites attract, this isn't always true. You need something in common at the minimum, but it is good to open your partner up to new experiences/hobbies. A new hobby that you introduce your partner to is a great date as this can be a fun and new experience for both of you!  What Did I Do?     Kandace and I recently traveled down to Florida together and I got the chance to show her how to surf! I have been surfing for over two years now and always thought it was fun, but it was missing an element; a partner! While I've talked to others while surfing and it's been a great way to meet new people, there's something special about showing your p...

Get Competitive! Wanna break a sweat while making a memory? Let's play Pickleball!         The History           While pickleball has been around since 1965, it's made a major impact on the sports community and industry in the last few years. This comes as many restaurants have started to  pop up where they include bar food and live sports, while also including the opportunity to play pickleball. This sport has started to dominate the sports space as it became named the fastest-growing sport back in 2022 with nearly a 30 percent increase in viewership. My Experience and Prices To start, my girlfriend's family and I went to a place here locally called Serv. It's a welcoming place for beginners as well as experts if this is your kind of thing.  You get a paddle and a whiffle ball to play and is similar to how tennis is played. One end of the court serves the ball and the other receives, when serving, the ball must hit d...

 Build Together... Through Clay! What Does This Mean?     Building something together can either be an at-home, DIY project or going to a business that sells builds that you can paint and chat. I mean, building is what got you a relationship right? We all have to build upon our relationship to keep the foundation tough and the pillars strong, and this is done through many ways like acts of service, dates, and other ways. The point is, that you are here together having fun while enjoying and inspiring what the other creates, and in the end, you get to have a physical reminder of the date that you can put in a safe spot to reflect on while relishing in a fond memory! What Did I Do?     Kandace and I decided that it would be fun to go out and support some local businesses and chose a place out in Overland Park called Paint Glaze and Fire. Here, you can find many different-shaped pottery. From Harry Potter-themed trains to little gnomes, they have a wide range of se...
