It has been scientifically proven that when two people participate in an adrenaline-releasing activity together, it creates a bond between them. So, for that first few dates or even for those in a long-term relationship, why not skip on the typical dinner-then-a-movie date, and do something exciting? Don’t worry, we will not be suggesting anything crazy like shark cage diving, but these suggestions below might bring you and your partner closer than ever.
1) Riding ATV – Life is too short not to go riding on these awesome vehicles. For those who aren’t exactly one with nature, you will be extremely surprised at how fun this particular activity is. There are different trails for you and your significant other to choose from too. You will be glad to know at the end of every route, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, a lake or a waterfall.

2) Laser Tag – Even though it existed prior to How I Met Your Mother, I think it was Barney Stinson that made laser tag an activity famous as an actual date. There’s nothing like running around in the dark and some competition to spice things up between you and your date/partner.

3) Rock Climbing – This may seem like a strange activity for a date but it’s probably one of the funnest things you can do with your significant other. This challenging activity will help you build trust as one of you is belaying the other. Plus, I’m sure as he is holding your weight and belaying you down; the view of your behind is something he would appreciate.

4) Jungle Trekking – We suggest a slightly more extreme version of this particular exercise, one that is above ground. Choose from beginners, intermediate and extreme, this jungle gym is has plenty of heart-pumping challenges that will make you scream with excitement (or fear, if you’re me). Can’t think of a better way to spend a sunny weekend than toughing it up and trying to complete the challenge with your partner. The flying fox will make all the other obstacles worth your while.

5) Paint-balling – Last but not least, the most painful and probably the most fun out of them all is paintball! Gather a group of your girlfriends and get him to gather his manly guy friends, and turn this date into an adrenaline pumping session. Not wanting the game to leave you with sore bruises should motivate anyone to run around before being shot. You’ll hardly notice the pain of being fired at with all the fun that you will be having.
