Friends Dating Places

It’s getting to be that time of year where it’s so stinking hot outside that you want to stay cooped inside your comfortable, air conditioned home. But what fun is it staying inside when you could be out dating the people who are looking to start a summer fling?

Here’s a few hints on what you can do to keep your cool when things heat up.

Go ice skating. Since it’s hockey’s off season, most indoor rinks are opened to the public on weekends for public skating. Not only will you get to spend the hot hot day inside an ice box, but you get to share a unique experience with your date.

Get ice cream. Who doesn’t love ice cream! Either get cones and enjoy them in the local ice cream shop, or grab a tub and head down to the park for a dessert-only picnic. Either way, you’ll be satisfying your taste buds and your cold craving.

Hit up the beach. Sure being out in the sun might get a little hot, but what better way to cool down than a dip in the lake?! If you’re lucky enough to be by the ocean, maybe bring along a surf board so you two can learn something new together.

Visit an amusement park. Some roller coasters can reach up to 180KM/H. No matter how hot you are, winds like that will cool you right down. And these days most amusements have full water parks right on their grounds, so you’ll get twice the cooling satisfaction in one place.

See a movie at the drive-in theater. Since drive-in movies only play at night, the air will have already cooled by the time the movie plays. If it’s still a little too hot for you outside, then head over to the vendor and grab a slushie. It’s a great snack for the movies, and is way more tasty than eating ice.

There’s a lot of things you can do on dates to keep cool! If you’re ever short on ideas, just think about things that are too cold to do in the winter. Chances are they’ll still be cool in the summer! Start your dating search for a steamy summer fling, and stay cool while you get hot.

It’s the first month of 2012, and we all know what that means: a resolution to give your love life a face-lift!

Every January singles around the world decide that this is the year they throw their inhibitions to the wind and leave their single life behind them. Whether it’s a weekly fuck buddy or a long-term love, people seem to want to be coupled-up in January more than any other month. But how do you know if you should set your target on lust or love?

Timing is everything in life, which is no surprise that when it comes to love, you have to do your best to time it out. Telling someone too soon about your feelings can scare them off, and waiting too long can put you in the friend zone or, worse, it gives the other person a chance to have feelings for someone else.

When you’re already their friend, it’s even trickier to time it out well. Friends dating is a difficult pool to dip your toes into to begin with, so taking the dive proves to be one of the hardest things someone can do.

There are plenty of good times to tell a friend that you’re interested in dating them, but people seem to concentrate on the right times so much that they completely forget about the wrong times.

If you’re going to tell someone you’re interested them, make sure it’s near no holiday or big event in their life!

A lot of people wait to spill the beans until an occasion they think would create a special opportunity, but that could prove to be the biggest flaw a person could commit.

Look at it this way: Let’s say you have a friend you’ve been in love with, and you’re waiting until their birthday to tell them about it. If that person has the same feelings as you, then great, you’re in the clear. But if they don’t, you’re ruining a day they undoubtedly looked forward to for a long time. It takes away from their special day and makes them feel like an ass when they should be feeling on top of the world. Not only that, but if the failed confession leads to the downfall of your friendship, they’ll be sure to think of that every year on their birthday.

If you’re going to make a big move, don’t do it on an already special occasion!
