You finally made time for a date night, but now you can’t come up with an idea for something fun to do. Well, the ideas below might appeal to you or maybe they’ll inspire you to come up with something.
As the weather gets warmer, more opportunities will present themselves, so take advantage of the great outdoors whenever possible with picnics, hikes, and the like.
Check out some of these ideas instead of the same old stuff:
Be a Good Sport
In other words, go outside and play. Playing sports together can be a lot of fun and a little friendly competition is good. If you beat your husband at H-O-R-S-E or he trounces you at tennis, you or he will likely be looking for a rematch, which means you won’t have to worry about planning the next time the two of you decide to have a date night.
Shop Around
Walk through a flea market or an antique shop or two. It’s fun and interesting and you can make it more romantic by picking out something extraordinary to keep as a treasure that you can later pass down to your kids. How romantic is that?
Get Moving
Find a place that rents bikes for riding tours and rent a bicycle built for two. This is a great way to spend an afternoon laughing, talking, enjoying the scenery and the fresh air, and getting in some exercise. If you can’t find a tandem bike, rent two bicycles (or take your own bikes out to a riding trail). If this doesn’t work for you, try going horseback riding together.
Lively Indoor Fun
If the weather won’t cooperate, you can still indulge in indoor fun, just try something different. Instead of a typical night at the movies try something a little more lively, as in live entertainment. Visit a comedy club and check out some local stand up comedians, visit a lounge that features a live band, or check out a karaoke bar (you might even decide to participate instead of just watching the show).
*Get inspired. Get outside when you can. Most of all, have fun!
