Here are a few awesome date ideas that will get you ready for the fall season. Â
Outdoor dates
Football games
Whether you’re watching a football game or playing in one, it’s bound to be a blast. Grab a sweater and watch a game at the local high school or college. If you’re feeling especially energetic, grab some of your friends and put together a team to play!
Stargazing
Stargazing on a fall night is one of the most romantic activities. Bonus points if you can tailgate with pillows and blankets!
PicnicÂ
Fill up a picnic basket with wine and cheese and grab your go-to picnic blanket. Picnics make for a great fall afternoon activity.
Bonfire
Whether it’s a group date or just you and your sweetie, lighting a fire is a fantastic fall activity. Talk the night away while you warm up–and put away a few s’mores while you’re at it.
Farmers’ market
Get an early start to your Saturday morning and take a stroll through your local farmers’ market. Pick out some new jams and check out the local artwork hand in hand with your lover. Is there a better way to spend the day?
Indoor dates
Going shopping
Hitting your favorite thrift store, mall, or book store is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Spend a few hours telling stories, people-watching, and window shopping. Take some time to slow down and enjoy the simple things.Â
Weekend getawayÂ
Book a weekend getaway with your significant other. Rent out a little cabin or a nice hotel room in a nearby town where you can enjoy some restful time away together.
Entertaining dates
Get drinks.
Grab a pumpkin ale at your local brewery and talk the night away. You could even head to a rooftop bar downtown and people-watch for entertainment.
Local fairs and festivals
Autumn is the perfect time to check out all the festivals and state fairs. Go on a few rides, eat some good food, and maybe even steal a kiss on top of the Ferris wheel.
Group dates
Host a Friendsgiving with all your couple friends. It’s an easy way to have a beautiful night that you won’t forget. Plus, everyone can bring their own dish, so you won’t have to do all the cooking!
Act like a tourist
Tour your town by going on trolly rides and visiting historical places. You never know what you could find!
Simple Dates
Cozy up indoors
There are loads of activities that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home. Bake some desserts, light some candles, and put on a good movie for a cozy night in. You could even plan a puzzle night, read books by the fire together, or build a blanket fort!
Paint a picture
Grab a glass of wine and a paintbrush. Whether it’s on a canvas, a vase, or even your partner’s back, it’s bound to be fun.Â
Active Dates
Go hiking
Go on a hike or even just a stroll to a scenic location to take in that fresh fall air. You can really enjoy the scenery on a long hike.Â
Go dancing
Grab your dancing shoes and find the nearest line dancing get-together! You can learn a new skill and get a good workout together all at the same time.Â
Riding bikes or horses
The summer heat is gone which means it’s the perfect time to get active outdoors without getting all sweaty! Bike riding and horseback riding are other great ways to stay active this fall and enjoy every moment along the way.Â
Classic Fall Dates
There are always the good ol’ fall classics. Scary movies, carving pumpkins, or attending a costume party are great ways to jump headfirst into fall fun.Â
Get the full fall experience by walking through a corn maze, haunted house, or a pumpkin patch with your partner. But, no matter what you choose to do, be present and enjoy the small moments with the one you love. These date ideas are sure to help you do just that!
