By Annette Lode

Are you tired of rehashing the same kind of dating ideas? Would you like to try different things, something creative, fun and full of laughter? If so, all you have to do is revisit the ancient world. Today, we're fascinated with technology, theaters, fancy restaurants and loud bars. However, something can probably be said for simplicity and romance. Below you will find 3 ancient date ideas that you can use in today's world.

The Tree Date

You can't get any more old school than sitting in a tree. The only real difference is you don't have to worry about predators seeking to eat the sofa! If you're a handy man or woman, this date idea is perfect.

With a couple wood, create your own love nest within the bow of the tree. You can use a tree in your backyard or look for one out of a forest in your area. The tree house doesn't need to be elaborate to be romantic and it's not necessary to be Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor to construct it either.

Once you've built it, stock it with an icebox, some lanterns and some blankets. Next time you're looking for a cheap but romantic date, take your man or woman for your tree house. It's certain to impress.

Medieval

After all: medieval is cool. For out the raping, pillaging and constant threat of disease, the medieval world is a good spot to acquire some dating ideas.

There are many restaurants that cater to the medieval world. You are able to dress up as a damsel or knight, fight with wooden swords and drink from dented metal chalices. You can even create your own medieval world, right at home. You could rent an outfit, or make one yourself.

Native American Dating

The third ancient dating idea is borrowed in the Native americans. I'm sure you've seen pictures of the teepee. Why don't you take your date out for a hike, and build a lean-to? It's easy enough to do, every boy scout will tell you. Once you have built the lean-to, build a fire. You can even go so far as creating your own rain dance! Roast marshmallows through the light of the flickering campfire, sip some wine and have an amazing time.

These three ancient dating ideas are certain to bedazzle any date. You'll look creative, handy and fun!
