With the temperatures rising...a lot of people are hitting the pool. Would you prefer the local pool or all the extras of a waterpark on a date?

Advantages/disadvantages?

If you are comfortable being in a bathing suit for your date, then i would say water-park. Pools are more...lounge-like but water parks actually have you doing stuff. Doing is usually better than lounging on a date, in my opinion.

Usually, I would wave off any kind of amusement parks for initial dates, because of the money and time investment involved in it. But if your comfortable in a bathing suit with your date, you are definitely comfortable with spending large chunks of time with him/her.

I would not do either one as a date unless we have moved into the bf/gf situation, in which case it's simply a fun way to spend time depending on whether you feel like lounging by the pool or have more energy for the water park.

Funny....years ago that was my SOP for a 1st date in the summer. I'd invite her over to my townhouse on a Saturday\Sunday afternoon for some poolside relaxing. If she agreed I knew how the date would end. Being extremely blessed (some women say cursed) if you know what I mean, when I pulled my shorts down at the pool to expose my speedo (I know that was a long time ago) we would be back upstairs in an hour or less.

For you...and if you want a real relationship I'd wait like cp30 said. I don't know about 10 dates and I didn't check to see your ages but some women at least older ones (20 and up) won't like that idea. Way to much skin and very little covered up. Besides women judge themselves much harsher than we do. Look at the magazines they have to compete with. She might even get the wrong idea about your intentions. OTOH, if you can find out in some subtle way if she likes waterparks..."ever been to such and such waterpark" and let her run with it you might get an idea what her take would be....or "I've got two free tickets...."

If it's with a boyfriend, I'd do the waterpark thing because there are more things around than just pools But if it's with somebody that I'm just getting to know, it might have to be in a much later stage when I have known the guy a little better. A fun and out of the ordinary date is not always a bad thing.

I'd feel comfortable at the pool, lake, beach. I would not feel comfortable early on at a waterpark--hills to climb, long lines, my bikini going up my butt when I land (can you say ouch) and zillions of children and teenagers. Not my idea of getting to know someone or relaxing.

I would not select either for an first, or even third or forth, date. But if you have been together for a bit I would select the water park as there would be more to do than just swim laps.
