Three: 8 Date Ideas For You, Your More Popular Friend and His/Her Date

Having a hard time finding a date? Don’t let that keep you out of the dating scene! There are all sorts of fun things you can do together with your more attractive, socially outgoing friends and the people that they’re dating. After reading this, you will never have a real excuse to be doing nothing on a Friday night ever again.

Just think… if you were actually on the raft with them, it would be more likely to tip over! Better to stay on the bank.

If water sports are in season, tag along with one your friends (one that is much cooler and more attractive than you) and their date on a nice rafting trip down a nearby river. As they float downstream, see if you can keep up with them by running along the bank while taking cute pictures to post to their social media pages later. Don’t fall in!

The more you dress up to look like an authentic waiter, the less awkward your friends will feel about not tipping you.

Things getting pretty serious between you, your confident friend and his/her date? Set up a romantic candlelight dinner for two! Be sure to do all of the cooking, serving, and cleaning up by yourself so your friends can have a good time. Extra points if you can play classical guitar to set the mood for your much more popular friends.

How many of your favorite albums can you get through before they need a pick up?

Drive to temple square! To make this one successful, you’re going to have to take control of the car. Do all of the driving, drop your overjoyed friend and his/her date off, and then try to find parking. Relax in the car to keep it warm until you get a text asking for a pick-up. They are going to have so much fun!

Strap yourself to a giant spinning dart board and let your hot friend and his/her love interest throw sharp objects.

Being above everyone else will be a refreshing change in your life.

Tennis. You get to sit in the very very tall referee chair and make line calls while your extremely attractive friend and their happy date play the sport of champions. Be sure to jump down after every volley to recover stray balls!

Time for a bike ride! Rent one of those bicycle powered two person carriages. Plan a historic route through your city, and while pedaling your socially accepted friends around, live tweet everything you see to both of their twitter pages.

Cheetah print outfit is optional.

Big on art? Set up a studio in your apartment for your charming and successful friend to take his/her date to! Pose seated in an awkward position while your friends paint you for an hour, take an intermission for ice cream, and then return to finish for the last hour of the date. Extra hint: get the ice cream out to thaw for them just before they arrive. That way you can maintain your pose for the full 2 1/2 hours without interruption.

Awesome! More s’mores for you!

Everyone likes a good relaxed evening by the campfire. Get hot dogs, s’mores, and a couple scary stories together for a good night of outdoor fun. Take care of the actual s’more making for your awesome friend and their date so they don’t have to stop holding hands.

With all of these great ideas in your head, all that’s left to do to make your Friday night a night to remember is pick one! Approach one of your cool friends sometime this week to propose the idea, and be sure to ask out someone for him/her too. You’re such a good friend.
