Ice skating.

Rec sports. Nothing says fun like a rousing game of touch football,volleyball or softball.Try a co-ed game of sport.Active 40-plus folks are found in many communities playing kickball and even dodgeball,the latter made popular by the Ben Stiller hit movie bearing its name.If it's corec,invite your date to play on your local sports team or group.Or,find openings in local co-rec sports groups,or ask around if friends if friends need a sub. Work it . While a date together to work out doesn't sound romantic,a work-out date is an excellent way to get to know each other and a powerful prelude to romance.Ask your fitness facility about their guest-pass weights.For couples seeking serenity,yoga classes are standard at most health clubs.Increasingly,clubs are offering a divese variety of conditionging classes like mat Pilates.
