Unconventional Date Ideas
Is there anything wrong with a romantic dinner for two and a nice movie on an otherwise quiet night? Have a great date night with your spouse with some exciting ideas that you have in store for him or her. No matter how daring you want to get or how unique you want your date night to be, here are some ideas that will be plenty of fun.
- Escape Room Adventure
Bring out your problem-solving skills by participating in an escape room as a team. These are adventure games that involve solving puzzles and clues that you have to figure out before you can ‘escape’ within a stipulated time. It is a fun way to bond and find out how effective you both are in handling the stress.
- Cooking Class for Two
Without going out, it might be fun to cook something different together rather than going out to eat. Cooking is not only entertaining but also a perfect occasion to learn something new and exciting about cooking. Besides, you have the privilege of savoring the palatable meal that you prepared after the preparation class is through.
- Stargazing Picnic
Take a blanket, some food, and your favorite beverage and opt for a stargazing picnic away from the glare of city lights. Either use an application that indicates where exactly the constellations are or simply gaze at the starry sky. It is such a lovely and quiet time to build up intimate moments in the relationship.
- DIY Art Night
Finally, for art lovers who want to transform their homes, have a DIY art night at home and read an art book. Just set up some canvases, some paint, or some clay and then we just free our creativity. Neither of you has to be a professional artist — just have fun and appreciate each other’s company. By the end of the night, you will have some creations that are unique enough to help both of you remember the date.
- Visit a Comedy Show
For me, having a good time and building rapport is always a good thing, and where do people go to have a good time and build rapport? A comedy show! Pop into a local comedy club or enjoy an improvised comedy show and share a good laugh. It is a fun way to spend time with each other, laugh, and just relax.
- Take a Dance Class
Probably, dancing salsa, ballroom, or even swing can be a lot of fun, especially if you have a dance partner! You will learn something new, dance to the music, and most importantly, share in the humor as you perform (or try to perform) the choreography. It must be nice to get close to each other and be able to spend time extraordinarily.
- Take a Ghost Tour
For lovers of mystery and spirits, ghost tours are a great date night idea worth pursuing. Although most organized city tours focus on historical archives and normal culturally significant places, many cities provide tales and histories of haunted places. It is a fun and creative way of touring the city and, at the same time, having an adrenaline rush.
- Use New Sports to Team up
Encourage each other to take up a sport or physical activity that you have never attempted before. This means that going and attempting a new activity such as rock climbing, paddle boarding, or potentially even a round of tennis can be both enjoyable and an excellent way to incorporate physical activity into the relationship. Moreover, little competition with friends is not a bad thing at all.
- It is time to plan a surprise road trip.
Go on a spontaneous drive to a town or place of interest close by. Another one is to plan the destination but do not tell your partner about it until you are on the way. There is always some thrill in the fact that you don’t know what it is going to be like at the end of the tunnel.
- DIY Wine or Beer Tasting
Spontaneously invite friends over for a wine, beer, or other beverage tasting at home by picking up a variety of them. Fix a wine-tasting session where you write some notes about each of them; this way, you can explore new tastes. The drinks can be accompanied by food to make it even more of a special type of food, so all in all, it’s unique.
