Yes indeed. Haunted houses, carnivals, apple picking...all fun fall stuff. In fact, 80% of haunted house attendees are couples. Or at least that's what the old haunted house proprietor told me, before cackling wildly. "They check in...but they don't check out!" He was spooky. And always complaining about "meddling kids."
Getting scared with your sweetie is a time-honored tradition. It's fun, and a great way to inspire spontaneous hand-holding. (Or huddling together to hide from teenagers jumping out at you in monster masks.)
Plus, it's a good way to tell if a guy is into you. When something is scary, does he look over to see how you are? Does he squeeze your hand, or pull you closer? Or is he enjoying the thrills, oblivious to the screaming person next to him? It might seem small, but his behavior could say a lot about how he feels towards you. Also, is he willing to relax and have fun? Or is he all uptight about being afraid in front of you? It's fun, and a good way to take the temperature of the relationship.
Finally, there's nothing more entertaining than a cheesy haunted house. Particularly when you're with a date who will make fun of it with you.
What fall activities do you like to do with your guy?
Haunted houses are one of my favorite pastimes. Dates, friends, big group, one on one it just all good fun. I've had a few haunted house dates, and he's right, it says a lot if they can just relax and have fun/be scared. And if you're a tad older, the best places have Irish coffee/Irish hot cocoa, the perfect treat on a dark October night.
I work at a haunted house and I can tell you that it is a GREAT litmus test for a potential significant other! Nick is right on. Pay close attention to how he reacts to the monsters - does he offer you to them as bait?? Is he overly aggro?? Does he keep you behind his back to protect you?? It should be really interesting! Plus, if the haunt you go to is anything like ours, you'll have HOURS in line to talk and get to know each other :D
Yep, that's something that's different and can be fun. Just don't take someone who's a very traditional Chinese lol.
I think it'd be a great date. See how close all of these people got?
