Ride a Segway, She will love you all the way!

Are you looking for something fun to do on a week-end? If you are dating someone, you’re answer is definitely YES! I’m sure you want something to do with your special someone besides dining out in a fancy restaurant and watching a movie. You want to do something with her which both of you will definitely enjoy and most importantly an activity that will bring you closer together.

Riding a tandem bike with your date is fun and exciting especially when you climb up and down a hill; it is also romantic when you finally cruise on a scenic area like the beach for example. You can sit down together, relax, talk and enjoy the view of the sunset. I’ve asked every couple in San Francisco who rode the tandem bike if they liked it and the woman instantly replied with a big smile and suggested to go for it. That means she liked it very much…and I noticed the glow in her eyes while holding his hand.

If you did this already and she enjoyed it then you need a follow up date to bring you closer to her heart to the next level. What about riding a Segway? This is less physical but very interesting. I remember when my mate asked me if I want to ride a Segway, I didn’t say no but deep inside I was hesitant. In my mind, I’m not sure if I can balance myself riding it. Oh well, there’s only one way to find out, go for it and take the ride.

We went to Pacifica, CA where there is a Segway rental and tour. The Manager warmly greeted us and immediately asked if we’re familiar with the Segway and if we know how to ride and operate it. I said,” It’s my first time”. He said not to worry, “It’s easy”. He further emphasized that “Women are better Segway riders; it’s a piece of cake.” That statement made me feel comfortable and confident.

To make the story short, we went for a tour guided ride after a few minutes of explanation how the Segway works, the safety guides and a few minutes of practice. It was so fun! It’s a totally different experience! We did a historic scenic tour of the city and the final destination is climbing the top of the hill. I can’t believe we’re able to climb the top of the hill easily with the Segway. On top we sat, breath the fresh air coming from the ocean, and enjoy the magnificent view of nature. Holding hands, I thanked my mate for a wonderful experience and we just felt so connected with each other.

Here is the secret, when the tour guide said that Women are better Segway riders than men, Instantly, I appreciated my mate in asking me to do the activity. I thought, it was so nice of him to do something that will show that a woman is better than a man in some ways…Normally men want to do activities with their date where they excel to earn a plus point. Sometimes it doesn’t work that way.

Before I forget I just want to share some information about the Segway. What is a Segway? It is a two-wheeled self-balancing scooter, a personal transporter that is electrically powered and it uses the latest in sensory technology. According Segway Inc. “If there's a feeling you get when trying a Segway product, it's like it can almost read your mind. Well, it's not magic. It's the combination of propulsion, energy, inertial sensing and an incredibly intuitive user interface that enables a ride that will force you to hold back a smile. “That is so true, when you’re on it for the first time. You hold back a smile and your focus is more on absorbing the experience, and the excitement of it. After the ride, you’ll surely display the biggest beautiful smile ever.

Don’t think twice, just go for it and enjoy the experience. I’m sure you want to see her wear a beautiful smile after your date. Don’t forget to bring her to a fine dining restaurant after the tour so you can share your experience together and hold on to that connection.

Next time, bring her to a roller coaster ride to level up your connection. This time, I’m pretty sure she’ll give you a tight hug. Have fun dating! Don’t forget, Ride the Segway; she’ll love you all the way!
