How often can you go out to eat and see a movie? Not that there’s anything wrong with the tried-and-true date formula, but it does become tedious after a while.
You’re definitely running out of date ideas, especially if you’ve been in a relationship for a while. Isn’t it true that you’re still going on dates? Even long-term relationships require a date now and then.
So, if you’re caught in a “dating rut,” here are some date suggestions for couples.
List of couple date ideas
Try out a new eatery
If you’ve memorized the menu at your favorite restaurant, try something different. Pretend you’re restaurant critics, and pick apart the cuisine instead of your partner.
In your hometown, pretend to be a tourist
When was the last time you took advantage of the sights that everyone wants to see when they come to town? That was probably the last time you had out-of-town visitors. Spend an afternoon or evening visiting local landmarks or must-see sights as if you were seeing them for the first time.
Make a new recipe that you’ll enjoy
Even if you’re not a great cook, attempting a new dish may be a lot of fun. Not to mention the fact that you get to consume the end result.
Take a picnic
If the weather is fine, there’s nothing more romantic than bringing some al fresco food and drinks, spreading them out on a blanket, and taking in the scenery. If the weather is bad outside, host the party in your living room.
Take a walk
Exploring outdoors with your significant other gets the heart pumping in unexpected ways, if you know what we mean.
Make a fire in the campfire
Gather around a bonfire in your backyard to fan the fires of desire in a Smoky-approved fashion. If your municipality prohibits flames, gather around the fireplace or cook s’mores in the microwave.
Make a spa night out of it
For a DIY pampering session that will strengthen both your bond and your skin, head to the drugstore for face masks, mani-pedi materials, and massage oil.
Make a day trip out of it
Get in your automobile and see how far a single tank of gas will take you. Even a trip to the next town over might feel like an adventure, especially if you’re doing it with your best friend.
Final Verdict
According to many marital counselors and relationship experts, continuing to date your spouse after you marry is one strategy to keep your romance alive. However, no one ever appears to have any recommendations for where to go or what to do with your loved one. After all, going to the same corner cafe every Saturday night may become monotonous.
