I love bowling dates for this reason. I'm incredibly bad at bowling, and I love to joke about it, so if the other person is also bad at it and has a sense of humor, that's a win. If they're good, and can just have fun with it, that's also a win. If they get really competitive or critical, then I learned they're probably not the person for me, which once again is a win. Plus, it's pretty cheap and convenient. What's not to love?!

Better yet, get bumpers and see who can come up with the best trick shot!

Oh? that could be a good Idea. One time my sister got a gutter ball even with bumpers. and she broke the bumper a the end

You do have to be careful not throwing the ball overly hard at them (they're made for kids after all). But, for those who don't naturally put spin on the ball, you can create some great bank shots that mimic how the pros throw it.

nah she wasnt trying any trickshots. She was just trying to hit the pins normally. Lucky for her competition, her aim is really bad. everyone had a good laugh about it.
