this is gonna sound a little "left" but this girl i know said that she went on her first date with this guy and it was a march/protest. one of those Occupy your city protests. it actually turned violent, etc. she said she had a great time. at first i thought it was stupid but then i thought about it like
-free
-original
-you show her that you're passionate about something and not scared to be un-traditional
-adrenaline high
-easy opportunities to hold her, walk with her hand in hand
-you're making her feel safe early on
-no need to dress up fancy
-the feeling of communion with everyone..
