11 Backyard Date Ideas For Some Summer Lovin' While Social Distancing

In This Article:

Social distancing has really changed just about everything in society right now... including dating! Who says you have to go far, though, to have fun? While the guidelines vary from state to state, and you should absolutely be following your state's guidelines and precautions, you don't have to totally stop the fun in most cases.

Here are 11 backyard dates to go on this summer while social distancing, of course!

1. A pool date

Not everyone has a pool in their backyard, but if you do, this could be the perfect solution to give you that vacation type of feel right in your own yard!

2. A picnic

A picnic is the ultimate backyard go-to because you don't even need a big yard or a lot of materials to make it happen!

3. Movie night

Going to the movies may be out of the question for a while, but getting a projector hooked up in your backyard and watching your favorite movie on it is a total go!

4. Outdoor game night

Missing your Thursday Trivia Nights? No problem! Set up an outdoor game night to simulate the feel!

5. Watch the sunset

Your backyard may not be a beach, but now is the perfect time to have that super cute and super cliche Hallmark Movie-level romantic evening by a sunset talking into the late hours of the night.

6. Outdoor craft night

Instead of working on a project together inside, take it outside to your backyard, instead! Enjoy the fresh air... and the company.

7. BBQ

If a picnic isn't your thing, that's totally OK! You can still have a meal outside and even cook it outside, too! Cook up your favorites on the grill and keep it going with a fun date night on the patio or in the yard!

8. Stargaze

Maybe the sunset isn't your thing, but maybe the stars are! I think the stars might just be aligned on this one. Plus, if you have the necessary materials, you might even be able to camp out together under the night sky!

9. Date Night Box outside

There are so many Date Box services out there that you can subscribe to for a monthly fee. Just because we're living in a social distancing era, doesn't mean your date box service has to stop! Keep the subscription going and enjoy your night outside, instead of inside!

10. Bonfire

Honestly, this is a great idea whether we're in era of social distancing or not.

11. Read a book

This could be a great way to read a book together and talk about it. It could be a fun book or a serious book or anything in between!

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.
