20 Great Date Night Ideas

I am a firm believer in dates. Dating is a really weird stage of life, but dates can be some of the best memories if you make them! I feel a little weird writing a list of really great date ideas being that I am single…but I know a good date when I see one not to mention ones that I know I would like to go on! So here I am compiling this list with others input as well. The nice thing is not all of these have to be expensive, and some of them even call for a night in. Dates can be special no matter the dollar amount, and they can be fun even spent indoors. I believe it’s all about enjoying the other person’s company.

1. Bake one of your favorite desserts together
2. Lay out under the stars. You can even download one of the constellation apps!
3. Have a bonfire and roast s’mores
4. Learn how to play a new board game together
5. Go to your local cities art walk
6. Go mini golfing
7. Watch each other’s favorite childhood movie
8. Have a picnic
9. Go to your local drive in
10. Take a walk on the beach or around a lake
11. Spend the day at an amusement park
12. Go paddle boarding
13. Game/Movie Night-Have one person pick a video game to play and the other pick the movie to watch.
14. Go to your local bookstore and each pick out a book you think the other would enjoy reading
15. Walk through your local botanical garden
16. Take a hike
17. Cosmic bowling anyone?
18. Pick a scary movie and a cartoon to watch after
19. Have a progressive dinner with appetizers, entrees, and dessert at all different places
20. Create masterpieces on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. Then, have an otter-pop eating contest. ​
