Go to a fast food restaurant and have a meal, but assign each person to do a particular thing when something happens. (Whenever their date wipes their mouth they have to bark, or if the person on their right laughs they must sing Happy Birthday).

For example, breaking up in public, losing something and asking people for it, pretending to be superman and a person in need of rescue, buying engagement rings, etc. Watch each other perform your funny assignments.
Have a picnic or a "romantic" meal on the island in the middle of a street or on a people overpass/bridge.
