Boston is a mecca for college students. Students come from all over the world to study specifically in Boston, so why not experience some great dates here as well.

Personally when I think of a Boston date my mind goes directly to The Top of the Hub. This is an amazing restraint located at the very top of the Prudential building. Way up on the 52nd floor, you are privileged with an amazing view of the city. With amazing service and even better food you really can't go wrong with Top of the Hub.

A runner up would have to be a walk through the common. During nice weather you really can't get a nicer atmosphere. The architecture and landscaping is amazing and it is a peaceful break from the normal hustle and bustle of the city. Taking a nice stroll through the park, maybe even stopping to picnic near the water. There are vendors around so you don't even need to pack a meal if you don't want to. It's a great place to relax and talk, getting to know your date in a more quiet environment as opposed to clubs or bars.

Another great date place is the aquarium of course! The Boston Aquarium is amazing and is sure to entertain. They have a great penguin display and an amazing spiral staircase around a gigantic fish tank filled with every fish imaginable. There is even a 'tide pool' where you can touch starfish and other small creatures. There is also an IMAX theater there as well.

Right near the aquarium is Rowe's Wharf, this is one of my favorite places in Boston. There are beautiful hotels right on the water, and you can walk along the shoreline. There are also ferry's that you can take around the harbor or even out to one of the local islands which would be a fantastic date.

If all of this is too exciting for you, Boston has a countless number of shopping areas, bars and dance clubs. Gillian's is a great place to get some cocktails and do some bowling. The Liquor Store is a great dance club that actually has a mechanical bull you can ride!

Fanuiel Hall is highly recommended with much shopping, dining, and the Comedy Stop! A great place to take a date with a good sense of humor.

Downtown Crossing is a very busy area with a lot of stuff to do. There are some great shops and places to eat and it is located right near Chinatown. If you would be interested in an exotic date head to Chinatown for sure.

Also, near this area are a number of theater's. If your looking for an theatrical date musicals and shows are always playing around here.

If high class is your style, you'd want to look on Newbury St. while planning your date. This street is impeccably landscaped and the architecture is amazing. There are high end boutiques and fine-dining, as well as hundreds of spas and salons.

And who could forget Boston's ultimate date spot: Fenway Park! Boston loves the Red Sox so if it is the season this would be a perfect date.
