Party Dates
One way to break the ice with a group of people is to have a small party
with a theme at your house. If you're wearing 9pheromones, you're going
to probably end up in bed with more than one person that night. Invite
your date as one of the people at the party but he/she better have an
open mind. Most of these ideas work well for parties with 6 to 10 people:
 Pizza
Party
- Buy some pre-made pizza crusts, pizza or spaghetti sauce, and toppings
(sausage, pepperoni, cheese, mushrooms, etc.) Pair people up and let each
person create half of a pizza with whatever toppings they like. Cook the
pizzas and then share them among the group. You can then take your date
out to an ice cream place for dessert.
Pot luck dinner
- The idea behind a pot luck dinner is that everyone brings something.
As the host of a small party you would want to make the "main dish"
and then have people bring other things like salads, side dishes, desserts,
etc. You want to be sure to tell everyone exactly what to bring. If you
don't then funny, strange things can happen. Make sure the person you're
dating is not allergic to anything!
Progressive
dinner
- If you and your friends live close together, then a progressive dinner
can be lots of fun. The idea is for everyone to go from house to house
bringing your dates along for each phase of the dinner. At one house you
have appetizers, at another the salad, at another the main dish, and so
on. You might stop at four to six houses for the full meal. Organizing
it can be half the fun.
Fondu party
- Get a good fondue recipe and have a fondue dinner.
Sundae party
- Buy several different flavors of ice cream, some toppings (hot fudge,
sprinkles, etc.) and let people make their own sundaes. You might use
this idea as the dessert for some of the other parties described here.
Cook out/BBQ
- Organize a cookout, either in your back yard or at a park. Cook hamburgers
and hot dogs, serve chips and potato salad, and make ice cream for dessert
if someone has a hand-cranked ice cream churn.
Video party
- Pick up a video or two and invite some people over. Serve snacks and
beverages. Or combine a pizza party or a sundae party with a video party.
Have a dance
- Usually you think of "going to the dance" at School, but what
about having your own dance? Get a group of friends together, pick the
music and dance.
