Are scary dates sexy?

This past weekend was Halloween, watching all of the zombies and monsters invade Sydney got me thinking- why do we love being scared? We undeniably love the thrill of the unknown; we’ve all been guilty of watching that over-the-top horror movie no matter how much we knew it would give us nightmares!

So if we love being scared, is it to be assumed that scary dates are more likely to be successful? By scary I mean anything that puts you a bit out of your comfort zone- whether it is a horror movie or bungee jumping. We have written before about how the chemical produced by anxiety is the same chemical produced by love- PEA but what are the real world daters saying, aside from being an excuse to squeeze your partner does being scared offer any other perks?

I confronted several serial daters to see what they thought about scary dates. The general consensus was that more than scary dates, unexpected dates and surprises were a huge turn on, an added bonus was dates that allow both people to experience or learn something new.

While a completely scary date may scare that potential significant other off, a slightly off-beat and surprising date will be sure to win them over and set you apart from the crowd. Choosing a date where you both learn something is an additional perk and will allow you to have a ‘special something’ to bond over. If you learned to make sushi together- think of all the excuses to have a fabulous and romantic dinner together!

What are some date ideas bound to impress?

Cooking/Cocktail Class
Theme Park
Kayaking (to a secluded beach!)
Teppanyaki
Learning to Rock Climb/Sail/Surf together

You get the idea, anything to get your heart pumping and your sweetheart and you bonding and having a blast!

Enjoy!
