8 Fun And Romantic Summer Date Ideas
Hospitality

Summer is finally here, and everyone is scrambling to find some fun to get into; Especially couples, who plan on spending a lot of time each other. However, a lot of us draw blanks when it comes to finding fun, romantic date ideas without out-playing the usual dinner or movie.

Never fear, this list should provide some fun date ideas, if not inspire you to come up with some of your own:


1. Watch a Sunrise/Sunset

This is a simple, yet dreamy way to start or end a day with 'bae.' It's free and breathtakingly beautiful.

2. Go to a Drive-in Movie

I know I’m not the only one who's wondered if actual drive-in movies existed. Instead of going to a regular movie at a theatre, try going here instead. Bring your own snacks, and enjoy this rare entity.

3. Make Popsicles/Ice-cream

Everybody deserves a cold treat on a hot, sweltering summer day. Cool down and get creative by making popsicles or homemade ice-cream. There are so many different recipes out there for frozen, delicious indulgences, so step outside the box!

4. Candle-lit Outdoor Dinner


Amongst others on the list, this date has got to be one of my favorites (considering I’m a hopeless romantic.) This dinner date does not have to be anywhere extravagant, you can simply set this up in your backyard, or possibly at a local park.

Prepare a home-cooked meal (or get something to go from one of you guys' favorite restaurants), maybe even get a single rose and place it in a cup of water (for effect), and just enjoy this romantic dinner with each other.

5. Go on a Road Trip

Nothing screams summer vacation like a road trip. Whether its to a local city, or somewhere out of state, road trips are character builders and are bound to bring you and your significant other even closer together.

Take pictures of country sides, and stop and get food from infamous restaurants. It’s a great way to enjoy one another’s company.

6. Star Gazing

Almost like the first date on our list, star gazing is a simple way to unwind and talk about you guys’ day. With all the open sky, there gives room to have boundless conversations, ranging to infinity

7. Water Balloon Fight

Looking for a way to cool down without necessarily getting into a pool, or breaking the bank by going to a water park? A water balloon fight is the way to go. Not only is it fun, but you guys can make a game out of it without being concerned with privacy, nor spending money.

8. Participate in a Color Run

Some couples have fitness goals they want to achieve together, and there is no better way than to participate in a color run. Having ran in one myself, color runs are exciting, and full of friendly individuals. This is just a great way to cheer your 'bae' on and have wholesome fun in the process.

9. Have a Game Night

Although this isn't the most spontaneous thing on this list, its simple, friendly competition that can be spiced up.

10. Create a Memory Box

This is a lovely way to really collect memories during the summer, and an entity to cherish years later.

11. Have a Disney Movie Marathon

Bring out you guys' inner child by watching Disney classics, its sure to bring a sense of nostalgia.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
