Dating by Rock Climbing

Obvious funs

Get your heart rates pumping with this adrenaline inducing date! Whether you want to start your relationship with some massive bragging points, or injection energy into your lifeless long-term relationship, this one is an awesome catch-all date. Most major cities a suburbs have some sort of indoor climbing gym and - equipment rentals are usually cheap. Many gyms have a discount for first-timers if you're new to climbing.

Potential benefits

It is scientifically proven that people bond to others when going through any activity that makes their adrenaline surge. That means that this dared evil date packs a huge punch in the emotional connection department! If neither of you have gone rock climbing before, even better. It's also quite unique so many women haven't gone rock climbing before in any context, and almost certainly not on a date.

You will likely be controlling the rope for each other as you scale walls, which builds trust and comfort between the two of you. That being said, make sure that, halfway through the date, you suddenly pretend that you're going to drop her while you are lowering her, only to have her drop a foot or so. That usually gets you a playful smack on the arm once she is firmly planted or the ground. Another way to initiate touch on your date is to give her a hug or kiss as soon as she touches down from a good climb while her heart is still racing.

Trouble shooting

Make sure that you don't wear any clothing that is tight. Also, avoid wearing any jewelry (and tell her to do the same) as it can get caught in the rope. Treat it like a fashionable workout... you want to be able to move comfortably in the clothes that you arrive in. Make sure that you let your date know to dress casually ahead of time. Nothing will kill the mood faster than having her show up in a dress and heels only to find out that she will be expected to climb multiple twenty-foot walls all the way to the ceiling. But don't worry too much as most indoor climbing gyms have shoes you can rent that are specifically for rock climbing.
