This post may seem a little off-course from the usual career, pr and life advice of PRPrep, but part of being successful in your job is spending time away from work. And summertime offers some great options for chillin’ with your sweetie.

So, if you’re tired of your summer dates consisting of siting in front of the air conditioner, Askmen.com has the top ten fun ideas for outdoor dating.

10. Eat at an outdoor restaurant or cafe. An oldie but a goodie.

9. Go to the beach, lake or river. Apparently, just find water.

8. Have fun at carnivals, festivals or outdoor shows. Brewfest anyone?

7. Pick fruits at a farm. Fresh picked romance.

6. Enjoy a boat ride. You too can be king of the world.

5. Play sports. If she can’t catch a frisbee maybe she’s not the girl for you anyway. Only kidding.

4. Visit an amusement park. Cotton candy + roller coasters. Is there a better combination out there? I don’t think so.

3. See a baseball game! (notice the exclamation point). It’s not America’s favorite pastime for nothin’.

2. Prepare a picnic. It sounds cliche, but we still like it.

1. Plan a full-day getaway. It’s not the destination. It’s the journey.

Have fun!
