You’re among the masses, how do you make yourself stick out? Being the person competing for a crush’s attention is stressful, yet there is something that can set you apart – the wow factor. Yes, this phrase is commonly referred to in fashion (your wow factor or statement piece). BUT for dates a “wow factor” is crucial, why do the run of the mill dinner at brews then back to the dorm for a movie? Granville is full of other ways to make your night out, one to remember.
I have included a couple date options ranging from fun and flirty to romantic and thoughtful! Hopefully one will suit your dating needs!
1. Pumpkin Picking
One of the best parts of October is Halloween and just because we are at school does not mean that tradition is lost. The search for the perfect pumpkin gives you an instant conversation topic and the opportunity to steal a few kisses along the way. Also there are follow up activities like decorating and carving the pumpkin, this gives both you an excuse to see each other again!

2. Horse Drawn Carriage Ride
This option would be for the more romantic. Who wouldn’t want to feel like they’re in a fairytale for a night?

3. Special UPC Events
The pros of going to an event hosted by the school is that it is free and makes you a more active member of the student body.

Making dinner is excellent way to discover more about your crush. You guys will work together to follow a recipe and maybe even have create an original recipe from both your favorite foods.Girls, this is a way to finally enjoy all the food we see on Pinterest!

5. Study Date
Yes, it does say study date. Staying in on a weekend or weeknight will give you some good sober time together. This date can help you decide see if he/she is just a drunken hookup or someone worth your daylight hours.
I realize most of these are activity based, but is the major fear of dating having nothing to talk about? Keeping your hands busy will soothe those butterflies in your stomach and let your true personality shine.
