11. BYOB Painting Class
Art is fun and all but I mean, who wouldn't turn down an opportunity to make it extra fun? A BYOB painting class is classy, shows off your talent, has you LEARNING, makes you loosen up a bit... and gives you something to keep-a souvenir!
10. Exercise and Training
Fall is the perfect time to exercise with your partner. It's not too cold, not too hot...so no worries about those gross, sweaty days! What's even better is if you and your boo make it a routine and possibly train for a big event. This will give you something to talk about and have something to look forward to.
9. Hot Air Balloon Ride
Who's afraid of heights? Not me! Even if you are, a hot air balloon ride is pretty much a once in a life time experience and to make it extra special, do it with someone that you would love to be with! Very peaceful and relaxing! What better way to see our beautiful world from the highest view?
8. Home-cooked meal
As summer is ending and fall is approaching, time is ticking that you can go outside and use a grill this year. Take advantage of this and buy some healthy food to cook with you and your partner. Not only are you enjoying each other's company, but this is a very inexpensive way to have some fun in your own house. Enjoy the little things!
7. Camping
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Camping is a great way to get in Fall spirit. It's a unique date too and a good team building activity. Who doesn't like s'mores? Hint hint, this is an opportunity to not be on your phone and just enjoy the nature with your companion.
6. Scary Movie Night
News flash! What do you do when you're scared? You want to get closer to someone ! Take advantage of this and suck it up and go see the scariest movies in theaters. I promise you won't regret it. Great opportunity for after-math cuddle time!
5. Apple Orchard
Apple orchards are a great way to get in the Fall spirit. Have a peaceful stroll in an apple orchard and pick out some delicious crispy apples. You not only can enjoy picking the apples on the first date, but you can make a second date out of this by using the apples to schedule a baking date. Caramel apples, apple pie and apple crisp are really yummy desserts!
4. Haunted Attraction
Whether it be a haunted hayride, haunted house, haunted cornfield, asylum...haunted attractions are a once- a -year thing! This will get you in the Halloween spirit and give you something to laugh at. This is a great opportunity for double dates too!
3. Oktoberfest
If you are of age to drink, Oktoberfest is a worldly celebrated event. This is a great experience if you want to socialize on your date and people watch. Lots of activities and new food/drinks to try.
2. Pumpkin Patch
Pumpkin patches are really fun and a really cheap date too! Most pumpkin patches have hay ride adventures and a lodge to get sweet treats/warm cider. You can always carve the pumpkins and make jack-o-lanterns when you get home!
1. Game Day
What better way to kick off the fall season then some good ol' tailgating? Tailgating and football season are common rituals in youth culture. Even if you hate sports, this is a great time to socialize and make you feel like you're a part of something. Have some passion and energy even if it's just for a few hours. And if your team wins, this is a guarantee that the date will end on a good note! :)
