85+ ideas of activities you can do with your special someone or with a group of friends

 85+ Ideas to do for fun!
This list is for anyone who needs a new idea of something fun to do on a date or maybe just to hang out with some friends. If you are planning on  going on a date then I recommend double dating, it takes the pressure off but you still get to spend time together. How awesome does that sound? No pressure dating! And if your the boyfriend then you are in the right place, and I will not let her know if you use one of these ideas, I will let her think you came up with it. Our little secret ;) and don't forget that using multiple ones of these and maybe even adding your own twist will make it THAT much more enjoyable and fun. And don't ever think something would be too hard to do like the horseback riding, that would certainly impress most girls.
*I will continually be adding more to this list when I think of new ideas, so stay tuned in*
