What is a good place for a date?

Nothing so tedious as "dinner and a movie"; something actually fun.

Bruce has a thing for the library?

Dull. Also I don't see reading to be much of a date activity.

Something move adventurous. Gets the heart racing or at least the mind engaged.

Well, Bruce doesn't really get a kick out of heart racing things.

Take him to a pub quiz, that'll engage his mind. Alton Towers, try that.

What sort of things do they ask at a pub quiz?

Pop-culture, sports, TV, random facts.

You wouldn't enjoy it, but John probably do. And one thing I know about dating, is when you are taking them, it's all about them having fun over you.

Some place that sparks conversation, because the last thing you want is awkward silence. Local festivals, the aquarium, farmers market. Then go out for lunch or dinner.

The aquarium isn't a terrible idea but it's a bit... point-and-look.

Then make up stories about each of the fish and their adventures with other aquarium inhabitants and tell them to your date, let them get involved in the story telling and build the story together. Boring is what you make of it.

You make up stories about fish? And they call me odd.

Imagination required.

Sometimes hard to find, but concerts in the park are cool. Also why not just find a cool part of town to walk around and look for things you wouldn't normally notice, talk. Sometimes simple works best.

I want memorable, interesting, something that will impress. Like hunting down dragons or exploring the mountainous wilderness where beasts live.

~~the second one sounds like where I live~~

Then think about what your date would like or want, and work off that. Gives you a starting point to build from.

Well, I know he'd rather not have me get us killed. Our best times have been spent in the thralls of the school's odd happenings. Adventure and excitement are good but there is the issue of safety.

Then research the mountainous wildernesses that you can travel to and figure out the safest one you can and go for it. Take a picnic. Those go over well.

But what if nothing happens? Surely there should be a contingency for if everything is right and dull.

Make things up on the fly if it gets dull. It's not all about what's happening, it will more often than not fall on you to be the thing that interests and keep your date from being bored.

Define fun.
I could say skateboarding or fencing, but you might not find those interesting at all, and that would render my suggestions useless.

Fun as in an activity that can simultaneously be enjoyed by two people that involves some kind of physical activity or at the very least doesn't include physical stagnation.

With parameters like those, you could jump straight to sex.

Assuming it will be a sexual relationship and assuming that sex is in any way interesting. Best to try with something more mentally engaging and less experimental.

That's the default for a majority of relationships.
Since you were talking about a date, and dinner and a movie, it was an assumption that could be made.
Also, mentally invigorating wasn't included in your original parameters.
You could always try a duel.

Normally I suggest hitting up a concert and going out for a drink afterwards. It doesn't really leave much room for conversation during the show though.
Street festivals are always interesting and if they turn out to be dull just grab a bite to eat and sit and people watch.

Any interesting street festivals I should know about over summer?
