    Geocaching

    This sport reminds me of Boy Scouts -- not what you'd call romantic. I'm new to the Tri-Cities, however, and half the people I meet casually throw out geocaching as a hobby. So if you haven't tried it, it's time to find someone who has to teach you in exchange for dinner and ice cream.

    Chuck E. Cheese Games Then Wine Tasting Then Dinner Then Movie At Home

    This was my co-worker's most romantic date ever. If you feel too old for Chuck E. Cheese, try any big bowling alley's arcade. The movie they watched was, "When Harry Met Sally" -- a safe classic.
