Thrill-seeking singles who find themselves bored by the typical movie, dinner dates have found a more exciting way to meet people — adventure dating.
A cottage industry is emerging to meet the needs of adventurous singles who want to meet others in mid-adventure, see them in their true light, and completely out of their comfort zone.
On Sundays in the summer, River Runners of Buena Vista, Colorado invites singles to come run the rapids together, play beach volleyball, cook out or soak in the nearby hot springs after a group river adventure.
Adventure dating brings singles outdoors and into contact with other adventurous types and provides excellent opportunities to see the “real” person on a first date.
For those a tiny bit less adventurous but with more time and money to spend, some cruise lines offer singles cruises. Here’s an article that tells more about your options there. And here’s a Singles Guide to Cruising.
My husband took a week-long Windjammer singles’ cruise a few years before we met and had a marvelous time! Of course it helped that it was mostly single women and him!

Come to think of it, I got to know many of my friends and boyfriends in my early twenties, by first going on road trips or camping trips with them. It’s a more natural way to get to know others slowly, while life is coming at you!
