Here are some great date ideas:
+Go on a hike or a walk. This is a good way to be active, but still be able to talk and get to know each other better. : )
+Group dates are always a good idea. You could play ultimate frisbee, missionary tag, wink 'um, basketball, kickball, softball, touch football, soccer, and a million other sports. Here is the benefit. you get to see how the other person handles physical activity, AND it is just good clean fun!
+Play games like clue, blockus, scattergories (I don't think that is spelled right), Mad Gab, sequence, speed, california speed, blink, quarkle, catch phrase, pictionary, telepaths, or something like that. Be creative! You can always play pictionary with pudding, or something fun like that!! : ) Doing something out of the ordinary is usually more fun than playing the same old games all the time. : )
+Go get some icecream and toppings and make a delicious dessert. Even better, make cookies AND have icecream. Want to impress someone...show them you can bake! : )
+Make a dinner for them. This can be VERY fun if you do it right. You can either have them help you prepare dinner or you can have it ready for them. Then, eat it somewhere out of the ordinary. I would recommend setting up like a card table in your back yard or in the living room or somewhere fun like that. : )
+If you want to make the date really easy, dinner and a movie are always a good option. Or a movie and dessert. They are both good! : )
+For dates with a little more effort and cost, skiing, cornmazes, ice skating, rollerblading, swimming pools with slides and such, theme parks, or adventure parks are always fun, but I wouldn't recommend them for a FIRST date. This would be more like a second or third...I would guess. Just for safety's sake. : )
+Another fun date idea is to go rafting, boating, or canoeing. For these activities, I would be sure they are aware that it will probably take the whole day...or at least a good portion of it, and I would also recommend bringing food!! : )
Hmmm...I'll keep thinking, but I think that's about all my ideas for now. Good luck!!

Signs They Might NOT Be Interested.
Signs He or She Might NOT Be Interested In You:
-He/She does NOT initiate spending time together.
-He/She does NOT initiate conversation with you.
This could be phone calls, texts, or face to face.
-He/She does NOT come when you invite him/her to events. Even when he/she is not necessarily busy.
-He/She never makes physical contact with you.
I've heard it said that breaking the "touch barrier" is a good sign the other person might be into you...so if they don't ever make contact...it's probably not the best sign.
-He/She says he/she just wants to be friends and isn't looking for a serious relationship anytime soon.
-If he/she is NOT into you, he/she will NOT try to be with you very often (and that means more than once a week). From my experience with guys...for the most part...if he is into you, he WILL find time to spend with you in some way. If he is NOT, he will not make time for you. So, if someone tells you he/she is just afraid to spend more time with you because he/she likes you too much, I would say the opposite is true. Not ALWAYS, obviously, but as a general rule that means he/she is NOT that into you.
Alright. I think that is it for this list tonight, too.

Initial Signs You Are TOTALLY Into Him or Her!!
Signs You Are Into Him or Her (I know my grammer in here is aweful, but hopefully you understand.):
-You think about them often.
-You miss them on days you do not see them.
-You are comfortable around them.
-You find physical contact (hugging, sitting close, holding hands, etc.) with them to be comfortable, or even better...you find that when you are close to them, your pulse increases and you get butterflies.
-They scare you.
Now this one might need a little explaining. This does not mean they creep you out or they are terrifying. This means you are a little afraid of them because you know you like them enough that they could hurt you emotionally. I'm not going to go so far as to say this is necessary to tell if you like someone, but I'm going to stretch and say, if you notice that you are afraid of how strongly you feel for them, you are definitely very into them.
-You get excited when they talk to you.
-When you make eye contact with them, it is memorable. In other words, SOMETHING happens. Whatever that SOMETHING is depends on the two people, but you should have at least one occasion where you make eye contact and come out with some feeling to remember it by.
I think that's all I have for tonight. : )

Tips for "Catching" a Good Girl.
• Be Genuine.
• Be open, but not overbearing.
• Like HER! It might just start as a physical attraction but do NOT let it stay that way.
• Date her like you want to be her friend (so no pressure), but treat her differently (so show interest, too).
• Be RESPECTUFUL!
• Sit close to her (but not uncomfortably so).
• Complement her. Look for something SPECIFIC she is wearing or has done that makes her look nice and casually mention it to her.
• Don’t say things like “beautiful”, “pretty”, “lovely”, “gorgeous”, “good looking”, etc. all the time. You’ll make them meaningless. Then when you really want her to know she is looking exceptionally nice, she won’t know if you REALLY mean it.
• Look AT HER (Don’t be creepy, but make sure you spend a little time to appreciate the beautiful young lady you are starting to like).
• Find casual excuses to see her often (You don’t ALWAYS have to go on a “DATE”, you could even just drop her a balloon you “happened to find,” or share some ice cream you didn’t want to eat all by yourself).
• Texting and calling are okay, but in person almost ALWAYS wins!
• However, don’t appear desperate.
• BE YOURSELF!!
• Get excited about the little things (appropriately).
• **PAY ATTENTION TO HER (remember good songs, movies, books, activities, treats, hobbies, fetishes, etc. she mentions).**
• When Holidays roll around, get her some funny little toys or treats that you remember she likes (CHEAP), but then get one nicer thing to let her know you care.
• Surprise her!
• Make eye contact, but don’t stare her down.
• Do not let her catch you checking her out (at least, not right at first). Or just DON’T “check her out,” just notice how nice she looks (shoes, necklace, hair, shirt, skirt, bracelet, ring, etc.).
• **HUG HER, AND DON’T HOLD ON TOO LONG, BUT DON’T JUST RELEASE HER, EITHER.**
• Park your car close to her car. Sometimes it’s even fun to lean against your opposite cars and talk. It’s intimate, yet not.
• Ask her about things you could do together, and if she sounds interested, tell her you’ll have to take her to do that someday. Then, SOMEDAY (maybe a couple days or a week or so later) TAKE HER.
• **ENJOY IT WHEN YOU MAKE HER SMILE.**
• Inside jokes are a GOOD thing, but don’t be weird with them.
• Don’t be NEEDY or whiney, but let her know you want her around.
• When you hold her hand for the fist time, do NOT plan on kissing her that same night! Almost every girl is warned that “holding hands leads to kissing.” Prove them wrong. Hold her hand because you WANT to hold her hand, NOT so you can kiss her later.
• **BE FUN ABOUT HOLDING HANDS. MAKE IT SERIOUSLY MEAN SOMETHING, BUT BE SOMEWHAT CASUAL ABOUT IT.**
• I would recommend your first kiss take place while she is in your arms (like after a hug, but you haven’t let go yet). Then, don’t stick around TOO long, but don’t run off yet, either. This gives her time to absorb and react, but also time to dream and relive the moment.
• If you know she is only somewhere because you are there, be sure to let her know (verbally) you are glad she came (withOUT mentioning that you know she is only there to be with you).
• **SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE. IF YOU DON’T, YOU’LL BLOW IT!!**
• **BE AVAILABLE TO HER, BUT NOT TOO AVAILABLE.**
• Have your own life and plans, but neatly fit her into it, or find ways to fit into her life and plans.
• Make your kisses soft, sweet, CLEAN, and slow, but not TOO slow (at least, not at first).
• Most “good” girls do NOT call (and sometimes even text-or at least start the texts) boys they might like (first), so CONTACT HER!!
• **BE KIND AND NICE AND GENUINE TO HER FRIENDS, BUT DO NOT BE TOO FRIENDLY (bring them funny things if she invites you to their Birthday Party-gag gift type things, but don’t do things like hug or text her friends all the time-if you can avoid it).
• Asking HER friends for advice CAN be a VERY lose-lose situation. Girls tend to be jealous creatures, so friends may give you bad advice purposely. OR, they may give good advice, but when she finds out you did something REALLY cute and it wasn’t your idea (it was her friend’s), it’s never as good.
• Be a good example.
• Don’t be overly perfect. Be yourself, and don’t try too hard, but still put forth effort.
• When she is sad or tired or sick, and it is okay, HOLD HER in your arms (but don’t take advantage of the situation by kissing her too much. Girls are very easy under these conditions. BE RESPECTFUL!!).
• Don’t rush the whole “I love you” thing.
• Make sure when you DO say you love her, you REALLY mean it, and have maybe even THOUGHT about doing something about it (like marriage), but DON’T rush! Or don’t come right out and immediately speak of marriage and such. Give it some time. Then, introduce the topic by joking about rings or temples or something along those lines.
• Most importantly be YOURSELF and be HONEST.
• Be open, but not overbearing.
