I'm not currently in a relationship with anyone, but when I was, we always had a hard time deciding what to do together when we went on dates. And I know we weren't alone in that struggle and that others experience this too.
I'm also a hopeless romantic, so I love fantasizing about future dates I would like to go on. Because of this, I compiled a list of date ideas perfect to refer back to whenever you're stumped for what to do. Here are 50 fun and simple dates that'll be perfectly romantic even if you've done them a million times before:
