Once you're past the first date and want to start moving forward with your relationship, you will need some fun dating ideas to spice up the second date because deep down inside, you know this is the next step of your relationship. Perhaps you're tired of the same old dating ideas and would like to really impress your dates with your fun dating ideas, here are a few ideas for you.

These recommendations won't be too expensive, but they will show off your funny side, your soft side and your boyish side. Think of the first date as your hook. During the first date, you managed to get her thinking of you as Mr. Right. Now the second date should put meat into that concept, and so you need to make it fun for her. Here is a list of some fun dating ideas that I've come across. With these fun dating ideas, you will come across as naughty, sassy, edgy and funky, but not boring.

1. Karaoke - This has been time-tested and will get her laughing at your efforts in good fun. Many restaurant businesses take off after they install a Karaoke machine. Courageous daters love to sing romantic love songs that express their feelings. If you think about it, you will find a love song that will describe just about how you feel for a person. You just need to find it and sing your own version. A Karaoke date also contains the element of stardom that isn't present in the other fun dating ideas that you will read about. Make a game out of it. You could pose as an American Idol wannabe and let her judge if you could be the next big star in the music industry.

2. Urban picnic - Different from the blanket-on-the-ground type of picnic in this scenario you will go to a park with a food stand near by and get some food to go. You may want to bring a backpack and take her for a long stroll around the city. Better yet, you make a sandwich for her and wow her with your "cooking skills." Don't forget to bring water or a thermos of coffee.

3. A Comedy Club - Discover why Seinfeld is now considered a legend. Go to your local comedy bar and wait for the resident comic to go up on stage to dish out some good laughs. This is a good way to demonstrate your sense of humor, and the jokes that make you giggle. Sit with her through set after set of lighthearted fun. You can also take note of the jokes that made her laugh, so that you can create your own private comedy show when you're alone.

4. Girl Movie - You may draw the line at watching a girl's movie with your date, but I assure you that you can learn a lot about your date from taking her to watch a chick flick. Enjoy watching her reactions and later discuss what parts were important to her and what she liked best. These movies can be great conversation pieces and above all you'll actually show her that you care about the movies she likes to watch.
