Nothing is more relaxing than a coffee date. You also get time to sit and talk to each other and really deepen your bond.

Explore the city together

Take a week off and head to a new city that you want to explore. Both of you deserve a little break after the hectic lives you live. So exploring the city 🏙️ together is not just fun but relaxing as well.

You can click a few pictures, taste their signature dish, or try out different things, but you are going to have so much fun.

Hot air balloon season it is!

When it is autumn, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Well, I don’t know about you, but for me, it is a hot air balloon! With the winds and breeze 🌬️, you both will likely have an amazing time bonding as you take a ride.

Stay in a cabin for a night

You could use a break, so rent a cabin in the woods 🪵 for a night and light the firewood! Let the fire keep you warm, and let the peace warm your hearts. Nothing is more thrilling, exciting, and romantic than staying in a cabin for a night.

Take a stroll

A walk by the beach, at the park 🏞️ or even in the city is a way to refresh you both! And I know you love the idea of walking with your hands held and your souls connected. You can even stop and eat an ice cream if you’d like, or even a cotton candy!

Watch a game together

When it is the fall season, then there are going to be more games 🏐. So grab your snacks, prepare a cute setup, and sit in front of the television! Or you could also buy tickets to the game and cheer for your favorite team! Because couples who vibe together stay together.

Make apple cider doughnuts

I love apple cider doughnuts 🍩. Do you as well? Well, that is amazing! So head over to the nearest shop and buy a few donuts, which is pretty boring, isn’t it?

Then, you could go grocery shopping, but before that, you need to create a list and find a recipe! So go ahead and make your own apple cider doughnuts and enjoy!

Rent bikes

Another fun activity if you are a sporty person is you can always rent bikes 🚴 and ride in the city or wherever you like! Yes, nothing is more fun than riding together! Not only will you both have fun, but also you will burn a lot more calories than you intend to burn!

Sip some beer

When it is fall, it is beer season 🍻! So sip some beer and chill anywhere! Let it be your backyard, your living room, or any beer factory! What is more important is the both of you spending time together! Yes, and beer is the perfect excuse to do so!

Find a cidery

Head to a cider and enjoy the day off sipping some cider! Here, not only will you get to taste some of the best-tasting cider, but also you can get a peek at how cider is made!

Haunted house

Spooky season? So haunted house 👻 it is! Get spooked in a haunted house and put your bravery to the test! Nothing is more fun when the both of you go and experience some good horror vibes! You could also make a small bet as to who will scream the most!

Since we have come this far, let’s take a look at a few questions to know more about your date if this is your first! Shall we begin?

Do you have any hobbies? If so, what are they?
What do you do for a living?
How do you want to live life?
Do you like spending time with friends a lot, or do you prefer to be at home?
Do you read books? If so, what is your favorite?
Do you have any interesting stories that you would like to share?
Which place do you want to visit?

So, the above questions are just a few you could ask your date if you want to know about them. You could ask a few more, but make sure you don’t look like you are interrogating them; that’d be funny.

Golf

Go golfing 🏌️, my friends! If you are a person who loves sports, then golfing it is! Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about golf!

You can always start somewhere, okay? But nonetheless, you will have a lot of fun! But keeping all of it aside, you get a chance to dress cute, at least, right?

Watch a horror movie!

With some popcorn 🍿, a blanket, and some wine, enjoy a night watching a horror movie! Horror movies always have their own way of bringing two people together! Act all afraid and recreate a movie scene where one of you hugs you close; all of this sounds so romantic, right?

A movie marathon at home

Bored of going out all the time? Or don’t you just want to spend time with each other at home 🏡? Then, start a movie marathon while you sip some wine. Put on your favorite movie and start your movie marathon! Laugh till your stomach hurts or shed some happy tears; all of it counts!

Visit an open mic night!

Do you want to laugh till your stomach hurts? Then head over to a club, cafe, or any bookstore and occupy the seats 🪑!

It doesn’t have to particularly be a comedy show but also be someone’s autobiography or anything!

Costume shopping!

It is time for Halloween, right? Then what are you doing instead of going costume shopping 🛍️? Well, then, waste no time and go! This could also be a great date idea as well! Decide on what you both want to dress like and shop for your favorite costumes!

Picnic

Pack all your snacks and a blanket 🥶 with you and head to a park or anywhere that you would like! A picnic date is all you want if you are looking to spend some quality time with each other!

“Our picnic blanket is the canvas, and our love is the masterpiece we paint with laughter and affection.”- Unknown.

Attend a lantern festival

How romantic does it sound if I say the sky’s going to be lit up with all the lanterns 🏮? Yes, head over to a lantern festival, and maybe you could also light one for your own and let it go!
