Go on a Hike
Hiking outdoors is a solid, no-pressure date option. The fresh air and beautiful surroundings will also give you two plenty to talk about and enjoy.
Hit the Beach
Depending on where you both live, consider heading to the beach together. Spread out a blanket, cuddle up, and we guarantee it'll be time well spent.
A Night at the Museum
Why not get all dressed up and meet at the museum? There are many local galleries and exhibits that are free to the public, so simply take your pick and show up to enjoy.
Have a Movie Marathon
Turn on your go-to streaming service and invite a date over. You could binge-watch a new Netflix series or movie or perhaps come up with a unique double feature of classic films.
Do Some Stargazing
Have you ever stopped to look up and stare at the stars? It's a beautiful thing that should definitely be shared with someone. Just make sure you pick a spot as far away from brightly lit buildings as you can—where the twinkles above really shine.
Host a Game Night
A game night for two? Say less. For those who are extremely competitive, remember the night isn't all about winning. Nobody likes a sore loser or winner, so keep in mind that you can also play just for fun.
Play Pickleball
Do both of you have pickleball paddles? Put on a cute workout outfit and get a game going. You'll be having a blast in no time!
Test Drive a Car
A new car may be a hefty purchase, but test-driving a vehicle won't cost you a single cent. It's a fun way to spend a morning or afternoon, and there's no doubt it'll make for a memorable date.
Take Time to Volunteer
Helping others is an incredible way to come together. Research organizations nearby who need volunteers, and sign yourself and a date up. It's also a sign of having great character!
Go to Open Houses
Similar to the car test drive idea, grab a date and attend some open houses. It'll be entertaining to see what homes being sold in your area are like.
Pet Sit
Pets have a way of livening things up and relieving the tension. Plus, when you offer to pet sit, you could get paid—or the owner at least lets you hang at their house and grab a bite from the refrigerator. You're really making money here!
Love at the Library
The library is a sweet date spot. Enjoy combing through the stacks and learn each other's reading tastes, and find a book you two can read together.
