Hey Pod, wake boarding is the BOMB! You are gonna have fun, bro!
The hobby idea is a great one, as long as it has either action or creativity. Dont invite her home to see your stamp collection =P (Omg who the fuck collects those anyhow?? Anyone??)
I try to do some crazy stuff if I can, and here is the ultimate trick, if you really want to wow her. Instead of directly asking her out on it, get her to agree on a more mundane date in the general area, and then "accidentally" notice the crazy activity and "spontaneously" get her to go do it!!!
I took a girl out to the harbor once here in Copenhagen during the summer... its the typical place to go and sit in the sun and drink beer with your friends, its packed with tourists and folks on dates. But it was never my real intention... After we had a few pints, I took her on the typical AFC romantic walk down the wharf... and the whole time I was talking about adventure and tropical islands and that kind of thing, and bam! we walk by one of the little known ferries that goes out to a 5 star hotel out on this island in the sea between denmark and sweden.
Before she knows it, we are swept away to sea and to this great island, which is an old military fort with several hundred kilometers of underground tunnels and bunkers, a real maze of a place, but all green and gardeny on top. We spent the whole day running around this complex playing tag and laughing, and when we found a secret room deep underground with candles and cots, well... you can guess the rest.
