Now you just need to make the plans. These free dates allow you to get to know your dating partner in a fun, easy going atmosphere. You may love the wilderness, but if your date doesn't then they will be miserable. If you are both athletic doing something like this allows you to bond over something positive, which will cause both parties to feel more attracted to each other. You get to laugh together a lot when the other loses their balance or skates right into a fence.
Men like to help, women like being taken care of.
However, if the man can't skate and the woman is really good, then she will spend the time worrying about him, and taking care of him in a motherly way. This will not allow him to express his masculinity by taking care of her, and her to feel feminine in being protected. This has the potential to smother any spark between the two. I've seen it happen. There are lots of things to do, such as swimming, water frisbee, walking along the beach, volleyball, tanning and talking.
