In a dating rut? Here are a few ideas for hot fun in the summertime ...

1. Try a restaurant crawl. Instead of going to one restaurant, head to an area with a bunch of hot spots. Start things off with cocktails and appetizers at a lounge, then head somewhere new for the main course. Finish up at a cozy cafe for dessert and coffee.

2. Take a mystery trip. Grab a map of your county or state, close your eyes and point your finger randomly on the map. If the location sounds intriguing enough, plan a day trip or weekend getaway there.

3. Have a picnic. Throw together some refreshing summer foods and some wine. Then pack it up along with a big blanket and have a picnic in a local public garden or park.

4. Do some of your favorite summer activities from when you were a kid. Hit balls at a batting cage, race go-carts, go bowling or head to a miniature golf course!
