My name is Alisha, and today we're gonna talk about the 10 most romantic things to do on a date.
3
9580
6280
00:15
So let's go!
4
15860
1560
00:17
candlelit dinner
5
17660
1240
00:18
The first phrase is candlelit dinner, a candlelit dinner.
6
18900
3320
00:22
So there's a candle and that's the light, so candle lit refers to that your dinner is
7
22220
7800
00:30
lit, or you see your dinner by a candle, like, so it's very very dim, the light is very low,
8
30020
6230
00:36
that's the image of a candlelit dinner.
9
36250
2440
00:38
In a sentence, candlelit dinners make me nervous.
10
38690
3720
00:42
That's true.
11
42410
1919
00:44
When I came home there was a candlelit dinner on the table.
12
44329
3191
00:47
go for a long walk
13
47520
1820
00:49
The next expression is go for a long walk.
14
49340
3000
00:52
Go for a long walk, this could be a good thing.
15
52340
2280
00:54
So it's just as it sounds, on your date, you go for a walk somewhere, presumably in a nice
16
54620
6730
01:01
location or in a quiet location.
17
61350
3740
01:05
It's a little strange to go for a long walk down, like, a busy street.
18
65090
4160
01:09
The idea of go for a long walk is that you have a chance to speak to the person that
19
69250
4130
01:13
you're on a date with.
20
73380
1110
01:14
In a sentence, I think going for a long walk can be nice sometimes.
21
74490
4520
01:19
In this sentence, we went for a long walk around the city at dusk.
22
79010
4370
01:23
go bowling
23
83380
1120
01:24
The next expression is go bowling.
24
84500
2580
01:27
So if you like, maybe, very very casual or kind of even sport ish dates, you can go bowling
25
87100
7010
01:34
for your date.
26
94110
1000
01:35
So in a sentence, I don't think I've ever been bowling on a date.
27
95110
3040
01:38
Maybe I have, I have been bowling, I don't know if I have been on a bowling date.
28
98150
3430
01:41
I don't know, I feel like I'd be too preoccupied with wanting to win the game and I wouldn't
29
101580
5350
01:46
be focused on my date.
30
106930
1510
01:48
We go bowling every Sunday.
31
108440
1830
01:50
go to the aquarium
32
110270
1290
01:51
Yeah, okay, the next expression is go to the aquarium.
33
111560
4100
01:55
Ah! That's kind of a nice idea!
34
115660
2000
01:57
I would say go to the aquarium or like maybe go to a museum, both of those are maybe nice ideas.
35
117660
5360
02:03
So it's just a place you go, maybe you can learn something with the person you're on
36
123020
3580
02:06
the date with or you can see something you're both interested in.
37
126600
3780
02:10
So I think going to the aquarium sounds like a fun idea for a date.
38
130380
4140
02:14
In this sentence, oh!
39
134520
1690
02:16
I pet a stingray at the aquarium.
40
136210
2270
02:18
Have you ever done that?
41
138480
1270
02:19
Like, in those little petting pools, like the stingrays, they had like stingrays...
42
139750
3630
02:23
this is my stingray impression, by the way.
43
143380
1830
02:25
I think they have stingrays kind of like hanging out in there, and as you, as they kind of
44
145210
5030
02:30
stingray by, as they swim by, you can touch them and they kind of feels like slimy, but
45
150240
6190
02:36
like, they're like...
46
156430
1000
02:37
Aren't they dangerous?
47
157430
1000
02:38
Mmm... they have, well, there's the manta rays, and they're stingrays, but I think with
48
158430
3550
02:41
the stingrays, the ones that are poisonous... this is their tail.
49
161980
5850
02:47
Stingrays are awesome, let me tell you!
50
167830
3650
02:51
But I think that they removed the stingers from them so that like they can't actually
51
171480
5510
02:56
hurt anybody, or, I don't know, there's something they've done.
52
176990
2200
02:59
They've also got like other like weird touchy things for kids to feel, in those little like
53
179190
4640
03:03
touchy ponds.
54
183830
1560
03:05
But anyway, that's a cool idea for a date.
55
185390
3930
03:09
Let's go!
56
189320
800
03:10
go to the opera
57
190120
1380
03:11
The next expression is go to the opera.
58
191500
2980
03:14
Go to the opera sounds like a very formal date idea, I think, I would be very nervous
59
194480
5000
03:19
if I went on an opera date.
60
199480
1740
03:21
So to go to the opera you have to, like, you know, be nicely dressed and you go listen
61
201220
5690
03:26
to people sing in a language that you probably don't understand and then you are like, wow,
62
206910
7100
03:34
that's pretty much how I would experience an opera, I think.
63
214010
3930
03:37
So let's see, in a sentence, I think going to the opera could be really interesting but
64
217940
4520
03:42
I don't know if I would enjoy it for a date.
65
222460
3690
03:46
In this sentence, we got dressed up and we went to the opera.
66
226150
3330
03:49
go to the zoo
67
229480
1540
03:51
The next one is go to the zoo.
68
231020
2440
03:53
Go to the zoo is probably a popular date idea, I imagine.
69
233470
5050
03:58
All right, in this sentence, I don't like going to the zoo because of the smell.
70
238520
5830
04:04
have a picnic
71
244350
1270
04:05
The next expression is have a picnic.
72
245620
2120
04:07
Aave a picnic is kind of like a classic date thing, I think.
73
247740
3440
04:11
I don't know that I would do this now, necessarily, like, I have picnics with my friends, I've
74
251180
5070
04:16
had picnics one-on-one with my friends, I think it was because they were my friend that
75
256250
5350
04:21
I was comfortable.
76
261600
1460
04:23
I think a date, a picnic date with wine cheese and meat and dessert would be fantastic.
77
263060
6600
04:29
We hiked up the mountain and had a picnic at sunset.
78
269660
3380
04:33
have dinner and see a movie Ah!
79
273040
2240
04:35
The next one is probably the most classic date idea, which is have dinner and see a
80
275280
4690
04:39
movie.
81
279970
1340
04:41
So you go to dinner and then you see a movie, or vice-versa, you see a movie and then have
82
281310
4580
04:45
dinner together.
83
285890
1040
04:46
Especially, in my mind, if you see the movie first and then go to dinner, then you have
84
286930
3671
04:50
something you can both talk about, right?
85
290601
3449
04:54
Or if you go to dinner first, you know, you can speak to each other a little bit and then
86
294050
3930
04:57
go see the movie and not talk to each other, which is fine.
87
297980
2900
05:00
But I feel like seeing the movie first and then going to dinner seems to make more sense
88
300880
5000
05:05
to me because then you can actually talk to the other person.
89
305880
2509
05:08
I don't know, that's my idea.
90
308389
2481
05:10
What are you doing next week?
91
310870
1100
05:11
Do you want to have dinner and see a movie with me?
92
311970
2560
05:14
In this sentence, how about dinner and a movie?
93
314530
2600
05:17
take a ferry ride
94
317130
1542
05:18
The next one is take a ferry ride, or take
95
318672
3808
05:22
a boat ride, I guess.
96
322480
1230
05:23
So you just, you get on a boat together and you go somewhere, sounds a little bit old-fashioned
97
323710
5709
05:29
to me but whatever.
98
329419
2101
05:31
In a sentence, let's take a ferry ride this weekend.
99
331520
2980
05:34
In this sentence, we took a ferry ride around the Statue of Liberty.
100
334500
3560
05:38
walk on the beach
101
338060
1167
05:39
The next expression is walk on the beach,
102
339227
2813
05:42
another very classic date idea.
103
342040
2200
05:44
So you just walk together on the beach, maybe it's a long walk on the beach, I don't know.
104
344240
5230
05:49
So a long walk on the beach or just a short walk on the beach, even, can be very nice.
105
349470
4280
05:53
In a sentence, let's take a walk on the beach.
106
353750
3150
05:56
In this sentence, I like long walks on the beach.
107
356900
3020
05:59
So that's the end!
108
359920
1490
06:01
