Dating is meant to be fun but sometimes you can get stuck in the same routines of dinner and a movie. No one wants dates to be boring, but it can be difficult to come up with new and creative ideas. If you have been together with your spouse or significant other for a long time, you are even more likely to have gotten stuck into a dating routine. Give yourself a free pass to turn over a new leaf and plan some fun and exciting dates. You and your partner will be sure to have a great time if you try some of the following date ideas.
1. Plan a Tasting
There are all different types of facilities you can plan a tasting with. You just need to check your local area to see what various options may be available to you. Certainly the most popular and most known are going to be beer or wine tastings. Another wonderful option is a tea or coffee tasting. You can even think further outside the box and look for olive oil or hot sauce tastings. You might be surprised to find just how many fun options there are that make for a cool date night.
2. Create Something Together
Making something together can be such a fun bonding experience and then you also have something to keep to remember the time you spent together. It can be as simple as an art studio where you paint a picture together or paint a piece of pottery. There are also lots of other artisan shops you might be able to find where you can create leather goods together or glass blowing classes. This is a fun option if you really love to learn something new and use your creative skills.
3. Watch a Sunrise
If you need to be mindful of the budget or if you have to work around busy schedules, planning to watch a sunrise together might be a beautiful way to spend a date together. Do some research to find out where in your city is an ideal spot to watch a sunrise together. Grab some coffee and breakfast pastries and then hang out together while watching the new day start.
4. Have a Thrift Date
Thrift dates are a fun chance to laugh and be silly together. The whole idea is that you go to a thrift store with your significant other and each pick out a thrifted outfit for the other to wear. Then you simply wear your newly acquired threads and eat a meal at a favorite restaurant together. It’s a simple way to spice up your normal dinner date.
5. Host a Board Game Night
Board game nights can be more fun and interesting than you think. The trick is to stock up on a few new and interesting games that you can learn together. You get the extra bonding experience of learning something new while also having fun playing the games. Some amazing two-player games to try are Patchwork, Wingspan, Azul, Railroad Inc, and Qwix. You will be surprised just how far board games have come since Monopoly.
6. Volunteer Together
Another great date to try is to volunteer together. There are lots of shelters or food banks that can use extra help throughout the year. Volunteering together lets you get to know your partner in a new and different way, and it always feels good to give your time to help those in need.
7. Rent a Karaoke Room
With a private karaoke room, you can spend a couple of hours sharing your favorite songs with your date. It can be a fun way to discover the other person’s musical taste. Lots of karaoke rooms also offer food and drinks that can be ordered, so you can really sit back and enjoy goofing off while singing all your favorite tunes.
It’s important to invest in your dating life to help your relationship stand the test of time. Try one of these fun options for your next date night and discover how keeping things interesting will help your relationship grow and deepen.
