Date Ideas



I was searching the web for date ideas and came across these ideas for a date with my wife…
How about:
- A picnic? Surprise your spouse with the foods they enjoy.
- A walk in a park?
- Go someplace where you can watch the sunset...
- Offering to go with her to her favorite store?
- Roller-skating? Its fun, its exercise and you get to hold hands!
- Enjoying nature and just being together.
- Rent a canoe and go float the lake or river
- Hiking, boating, mountain biking or snow skiing…
- A local bookstore and searching the "local/regional interest" shelves. You are likely to find books on things to do within one day of driving.
- A tour of old churches, a local creamery, a local historic battle site, an old plantation, the beach...
- Visiting museums, historic sites, zoos, churches, local nature preserves, and other things of local interest provide a wealth of ideas for "dates".
- A hobby together-- be it cooking, recreational tennis, joining a league, etc.
- Miniature golfing- Bowling- Hiking and/or camping at a state park
- Horseback riding
- Archery
- Buying a dart board set
- The art gallery
- A Flea market or used bookstores...
- Joining the local Little Theatre?
- Ice skating, salsa dancing, a few ballroom dancing lessons, a how-to class at a local home improvement or cookware store, a trip to a local big bookstore to browse the shelves
- Are there any decent comedy clubs in your area? A murder mystery can be fun as well.
- A drive with no particular place to go...
- If your town still has an open air street market that makes a great Saturday morning. You can pick up rolls, deli meat and cheese etc for a grab n go snack.
- Take an unfamiliar bus route, follow it to the end, find a place to eat and come back again.
- The zoo or a conservatory. Bring camera and take pictures of beautiful flowers or fuzzy bear cubs.
- Bird-watching
- Drive down an unfamiliar road, you get some great suprises this way: historical sites, parks, rivers, lakes, little shops and cafes, outdoor art and sculpture, a little league game or tournament, carnivals and small-town celebrations and festivals
- College or high school sports
- Craft shows
- Railroad excursions
- Fishing
- Driving range or mini golf, or go-carts, and other games.
- Historical sites such as living history villages or farms
- Cross country skiing
- HS or college student art exhibits
- Old-fashioned hardware stores, great to browse, you find some unique unexpected stuff, one had an antique toy collection, another had a superb depression glass collection, another had works by a local artist who has since become famous as an illustrator.
- Play scrabble and order a pizza. It's a great game to sharpen your vocabulary.
- Go browsing in an antique shop.
- Go to a concert.


Just enjoy being together ...................
