You don’t have to be tame in the wild outdoors if that girl or guy you like is spending the day out in the country on a date with you. Whether you both have a love of horses or like walking, you can help fill those awkward silences by adding a little mystery and excitement to make the time more memorable.
All you need is some planning – by sitting down with a map and picking a walk to some romantic spot out in the wilds where you can have some time together over a picnic and perhaps a glass or two, of wine. Pick some places on the map – like churches, viewpoints or other places of interest and write a riddle that your partner has to unravel to take you there.
Give them the first clue at the start of the ride or ramble and tell them that if they solve the riddle, then you have a nice surprise in store for them when you reach the next spot. Don’t let on what the surprise might be – whether it’s a kiss or some other reward and don’t forget to save the best to last. Rewards can be chocolates, trinkets, kisses or any other romantic gesture that comes to mind.
The secret of the day’s success is letting the suspense build – your partner is not blindfold, but they might as well be as they can only guess at the final destination and the final reward. The places you choose as stops along the way only add to the romance.
Depending on how well you know each other, you can go off the beaten track and the only limits are both your imaginations. What more can you give to your partner as they realise the time and planning you have put in to making their day more than just a walk or ride in the country.
Where do you go – that depends on where you live but with a little thought and research, whether you live in the town, country or by the sea, some flirty fun rewards will make sure the day is one to remember for both of you. You can even carry on the mystery by making the last reward a promise of a lovers’ tryst at a given place, day and time.
Maybe next time, your partner can plan the secret day out by giving you some riddles to solve and some thrilling rewards if you do. Mystery and romance can add an extra dimension to a day riding, walking or even driving, out in the country, so if you both have a love of horses, walking and the outdoors, then give a pleasure hunt a try.
