Ten Date Ideas

Sometimes dating becomes routine.

It is important to keep things in your relationship alive and fun.

One way to do so is by making one night a week a "date night."  Whether you are married, dating, engaged, dating around, or looking for some fun, a "date night" is the perfect way to keep yourself in tune with the opposite sex.

Write in and share your date ideas with Anabelle by emailing her at askanabellehere@gmail.com  or simply comment below!


10 Date Ideas

10.   Bowling

Bowling is an old-school date idea that everyone can participate in.  A great group date idea for those wanting to get some old friends together or to break the ice with a new interest.  Bowling alleys are found in almost every city and the low-stress environment gives everyone the chance to relax and be themselves.  Bowling is also a lot of fun - and fun is exactly what draws people together to spend more time together.


9.   Hiking


Getting some physical activity never hurt anyone.  Exploring the great outdoors can help you learn a lot about a person if this is your first date, and it also relieves stress and gives a couple time to slow down and listen to each other without the kids.


8.   Driving Range


The driving range is another outdoors activity that anyone can participate in.  You or your date doesn't have to be athletic to have a good time.  If your date isn't a great golfer, help her with her swing can be a great opportunity to get up close and personal.  If your date is competitive, make bets on who will win and have a little playful competition.


7.    

Make dessert or try a new recipe




Baking or cooking together gives the couple the chance to learn a lot about each other's interests, skills and personality.  It is a fun way to eat and also engage in real conversation you can't have if you are at the movies.  You also can enjoy something new together and see what you can create together.

6.   Explore your city


Pretend you are visiting your city for the first time. Are there unique restaurants? What is fun to see or participate in?  Maybe there is a festival or concert taking place. Some cities offer things only once a year.  Make an effort to learn of what makes your city a great place to visit and then do some exploring together.  Both of you will have fun exploring things and you will make memories.

5.  Scavenger Hunt


A fun and interactive date.  A scavenger hunt can be romantic or a fun date night idea. You can spice it up by making it into a theme or taking pictures along the way and later framing one and giving it as a reminder of the time you spent together.

4.  Bonfire


Get some friends together, or take a picnic for just the two of you. Snuggle together in a warm blanket and roast marshmallows, make tin foil dinners or just enjoy each other's company as you talk and relax under the stars.  See how many stars you can identify and share funny stories or reasons why you love each other.

3.  Concert


Whether it's your favorite band, or a local group visiting your city, it is nice to get out of the house and enjoy some music together.  There are many venues that allow interaction and dancing during the concert.  You never know, you might discover a new favorite together.  After the concert, stop by a local place and grab some grub.

2.  Service Project


There are a million things to do for others.  Family, friends or complete strangers. Visit the elderly, baby-sit your sister's kids, make a care package, do some gardening, make cookies and doorbell ditch them.  It is fun to get out of your comfort zone and do something for others. The time you spend together will help you feel gratitude for the good things in your life.

1.   Theme Night


Invite your friends over and have a theme night.  There are a lot of different themes you can choose from.  Drink night, game night, dessert night, culture night, dress up night.  Think of upcoming holidays or events that may make an interesting and different theme night.  Make sure there is food and drinks and the date night will be something everyone wants to have again.
