Please help folks!I'm not good at either, she said she doesn't have coordination like me, so it could be a good day out to learn together?! Reply to this Question

As I said winning feels good, knowing she can beat you at something and feel good means she'll be more inclined to want to do that activity again.
I'm brilliant at bowling and made the mistake before being on a date of of wiping the floor with the girl I was with, we dated for quite a while after that but unsurprisingly she never wanted to go bowling with me again.

It is very important that you understand that A. being too competitive is major turn off. "In your face, biotch!!!" is not going to do you any favours. Even if she is being like that take it with a bit of fun and humility. B. Let her win, always let a girl win when you're dating at the start but don't make it obvious. Feminists may not agree with this OP but the whole idea of being on a date is to show the person you're dating a good time and winning always feels great so by letting her win, you're making her feel great and that makes you a winner too. Pretty logical isn't it?
The most important part of letting a girl win is to make it a close contest though, it's not fun beating someone who is useless but just barely beating someone feels like and accomplishment.

I always enjoy a Comedy Club,where you get a meal too.. but out of your 2 I would say bowling.

 I think a good idea for a date is just something fun where you can talk and get to know each other whilst having a laugh, so either sound good. Further dates could be something like theme parks or ice skating.
Things like the cinema aren't the best, sitting in silence and all haha
Good luck mate!
