Remember how fun flying a kite was when you were seven years old? Guess what...it's still fun as an adult! Dig up your childhood kite from the basement and take it to a beautiful,wide-open space. Take turns with your date trying to get the kite in the air and then attempt to make it do flips-work up a light sweat,running it around while reconnecting with your inner child.
The Fine Print
Kite flying may be actually harder than you'd think. It involves a pleasing amount of teamwork between two people: one person has to hold the string, the other has to run with the kite and let go just as a gust of wind comes. So it isn't a passive date at all-until you finally get it to fly. In a sunny day, the light wind and great outdoors are just a few of the reasons to stand next to your date, bobbin of string in hand, and watch your kite float high above your heads. As it dips, weaves and soars, you'll feel as if you two are doing the same thing and it's an mesmerizing experience.
The Built-in Benefits
It's fun,brag-worthy, and does most of the conversational work for you. It also takes teamwork and patience to get the kite into the air, which is great for bonding.
