I'm getting sick of doing the old dinner routine so I need to come up w some good ideas to stand out

Here we go again... lol

Every guy is so stuck on dinner and movie it's insane.

Here's my rant about dates:
Don't go on them. Dates are full of pretenses and a complete pain in the ass. Instead, find interesting things that you would do anyway, and invite her along for the ride. This is important. You let her know this way that you have your own life, you'd be doing this anyway, it's fun and she's invited. Exciting! If you're feeling extra crafty, have a few things in mind that are inexpensive and low key, but can be follow-up activities. Let me give you my example that I normally spew...

You're going hiking at a nearby national park. Fun!
Afterward, you can easily say, "Hey, I've worked up quite the appetite, wanna grab lunch?"
Sweet. That's two things you've done with her today.
After lunch..."Oh crap! I forgot I have to pick up a gift for my niece. It's her birthday next week. I have NO idea what to get her. Maybe you could help me pick out something she'd like?"
And now she's helped you pick out a gift for your niece. How sweet.

At the end of the day, when her girlfriends ask, what did you two do together? She'll have way more exciting things to say (and a lot more of them) about your time spent with her.

Location change. Location change. Location change. It creates the false feeling of her spending a few days with you rather than a few hours. Cool, eh?
