When was the last time you played billiards? A fun way to raise the stakes while playing billiards is to attach a bet to it. Set the parameters before your first break. I've found that "best 2 out of 3" is a sweet spot that works well for dates. It's long enough that you get to build an emotional connection, and short enough that neither of you gets bored.
The Built-In Benefits
The date is both playful and competitive, and the conversational flow will mostly take care of itself. This date is a breeze! If she needs help lining up her next shot, who are you to say no? This date rates highly on the physical intimacy potential because of this - you have the ability to be quite close to her, one hand on her waist and the other on the cue. You can teach her how to play better if you're professional in playing pool. You can also playfully tease your date by nudging her billiards cue just before she takes a shot.
Troubleshooting
The only troubleshooting you might have is if you have trouble shooting. So don't go on this date if you are terrible at billiards.
Can’t think of what to set as the prize if one of your wins? Some of my favorites have been:
1) you have to go tow-for-one shots the rest of the night;
2) she has to fake a British accent while ordering the next round;
3) 3) walk with a limp for the next hour. Get creative and have fun with it. Make your own.
