Top 10 popular ideas for 18th birthday activities:
- Go on a all day bender with your mates
- Get a Tattoo
- Go out clubbing
- Go to a theme park
- Buy alcohol now you are of age
- Go out with the aim of kissing 18 people
- Go to a festival with a bunch of mates
- Do a once in a lifetime thing
- Go for a professional photo shoot
- Meet and greet with a celebrity.
Theme through all of them is to do something bit extravagant and adventurous, something you wouldn't normally do one any regular day.
For peoples other experiences of first dates, I'm copying from http://www.reddit.com/r/AskMen/comments/1r5ngw/what_is_your_goodbad_story_of_a_first_date/ as examples of good and bad dates:
"In college I was enamoured with this girl. She was real pretty and awesome to boot. She asked me if I wanted to hang out on Friday and I said "sure, I'm not doing anything". So she comes over, dressed to the nines, looking drop dead gorgeous. I was already hammered and had no idea it was supposed to be a date. She had to put me to bed. Might have puked. Did not get a second chance.
Also in college, I asked a girl if she wanted to get coffee after a class. She accepted and I figured she was WAY too pretty for her to be interested in me. So we go out, and I learn she lives at home and asks to see my dorm. I take her up there and she says she wants to watch a movie. We do, she leans on me. I say "it's too hot!" And sit on the other side of the futon. After that she tried tickling me and I accidentally gave her a bloody nose.
Don't get drunk, make moves. Not fighting moves"
"Last first date: Supposed to go get sushi, something came up and she couldn't make it, I was bummed, she then asked if she can just come by and hang out at my house instead, had a even better time. Been dating her nearly 2 years now.
Worst first date: girl was supposed to meet me downtown (where I work) and we were going to get drinks and dinner. She got lost, couldnt find parking, called my crying / yelling, was a total mess the whole night. Horrible snob, rude, condescending, basically an all around b**ch."
"Best first date: (not stated as being a date) went out in a small boat at night and I taught her rowing. We explored an old fort on an island. Took a picture of a murder hole and when we looked at the pic on the camera display there was a white light in it. She was really scared and I had to hug her tightly when we made our way back. Reviewed the pictures of the trip on the couch while spooning then banged till sunrise.
Worst: Me and another guy in class were competing for attention from our hot and funny classmate. I ask her out and we have some nice tension in class the following days. Then we have our date over a beer. No chemistry what-so-ever."
"Last night's first date: was supposed to go for sandwiches and dessert. Her schedule ran long and things didn't go according to planned, but she asked me to go over to her place to "hang out." Spent the day chilling with her dogs and talking.
Previous first date: met up with another girl for ramen. Conversation was excellent. We talked about the most random stuff and it just flowed. She asked if I wanted to go for ice cream and I thought it was a joke and flat out said no. In my defence I had 30 flavours of cheesecake the day before and could not handle sugar."
The general idea I'm getting from both the good and bad dates, they always go out to some sort of public gathering which they may not do every night and always have some sort of calamity within them.
Well, now I've got some real life perspective to base my own off, hopefully I can transfer some of it into my own film. I'll keep you posted.
