It’s finally fall, and the temperature isn’t the only thing that’s steadily heading towards zero (#mybankaccount). Fall calls for cozy cuddles and for fun, affordable, and adorable dates. Whether you're dragging your bestie to fall festivities, you're finally going to ask that cute boy/girl out (just do it already), you’re blissfully in the honeymoon stage and want more photo ops for the Gram, or you’re trying to liven up your long-term relationship (midterms can be a mood killer), this list is filled with wallet-friendly ideas for the season, perfect for any pair, at any stage, at (almost) any age.

1. Head to the pumpkin patch to pick out your perfect pumpkins together. And no, I don't mean each other.
2. Carve pumpkins and toast the seeds. An activity and a snack? #mykindadate
3. Pack a picnic and head to the park. Spice it up: Make it a surprise!
4. Go ice-skating together. Guaranteed to induce handholding. And sore bums.
5. Visit a farm and feed the animals.
6. No farms around? Flash your student ID (for that discount) and head to the zoo.
7. Make homemade apple cider. As hard as you want.
8. Get lost in a corn maze. And in each other’s eyes. #corny
9. DIY fall decorations. Some cool (and cheap) ones HERE.
10. Make pumpkin bread. Best recipe HERE. (I always ditch the salt)
11. Take a long drive, hold hands, and check out the falling leaves.
12. Do a puzzle together. Make it romantic: Throw in a blanket and your drink of choice.
13. Head to a high school football game (even if it’s not your alma mater) and enjoy some Friday night lights. Nothing like a (literal) flashback Friday.
14. Bake a pie together. Because everyone loves a little extra sugar, amirite?
15. Turn off that 4G LTE and hit the trails. Take a leisurely bike ride together and enjoy the scenery and each other's undivided attention.
16. Snuggle up and watch the sunset. Enhanced setting: Add snacks and some PSLs.
17. Plan a game night. Invite your friends (or don’t), and enjoy a cozy night in together with laughs and a little healthy competition.
18. Marathon your favorite Halloween movies – especially the Disney ones. Feeling “adult”? Dim the lights and add a pumpkin scented candle or two. #instantromance
19. Honestly, just do anything pumpkin related. 'Tis the season.
20. Block out a whole day to be lazy together. Sip coffee and snuggling up. Everyone needs some good, wholesome R&R.
21. Go to the park and throw around a football, baseball, frisbee, or something of the like. Boys, you’re welcome.
22. Go to a drive in movie. The old ones are the best. Casablanca, anyone?
23. Let him teach you how to fish. Or you teach him. #girlpower
24. Sit on a park bench holding hands and people watching. Is there anything sweeter?
25. Get scared together and drag yourselves through a haunted house. You'll never have been closer.
26. Wine/beer taste together. Too expensive? Buy your own bottles and do it at home. Although, I think they just call that drinking… #oops
27. Embrace your inner 10-year-old and make a fort together. Who doesn't love a little nook?
28. Take a hike for an awesome view. Life’s always better at the top with someone you love.
29. Ditch a rainy day and stroll through an art museum. Want a challenge? Try not to talk the entire way through the museum, and see how else you communicate with each other. And I don't mean via text.
30. Stroll the farmers market and shop for a seasonal dinner. Then head home and cook it together. Add a bottle of wine, and it’s basically a Lifetime movie.
31. Not going home for Thanksgiving? Cook an awesome little Thanksgiving for two. You’ve got a lot to be thankful for.
32. Head to a craft class (i.e. wine and paint night) together, even if you're not an artist. Check out some awesome Groupon options HERE.
33. FALL in love. With him. With her. With you. With life. With love itself. Do your best to be open, because you never know what’s coming your way.
