With the global pandemic going on, it's important to look forward to the future. It's important to know that there will be better times ahead, and that one day, we will be able to not have to practice social distancing. Hopefully, we all will be able to go out during the summer months, and this will be helpful for couples to get out of the house as well with all of this staying at home and working at home.
It will also be important for couples to go out on dates when this is all over due to most entertainment spots, such as movie theaters and bowling alleys, currently being closed due to COVID-19. Couples may be at each other's throats during this quarantine, but here are 20 fun date ideas for upcoming safer days and for times that we are able to eventually leave our house to give couples a little hope for what is to come:
1. Going to a local botanical garden
Not only will it make for great pictures for social media but also the floral scenery will stir up feelings of romance
2. Going on a picnic
This can be at a park, during a hike or even in a garden! After all, I'll always take an extra opportunity to eat.
3. Going for a long walk on a hiking trail
There are some gorgeous hiking spots, including waterfall hiking trails, like this one.
4. Going to the beach if you are near one
Imagine sandy toes and sunshine on your skin
5. Painting outside
Nothing is better than a glass of wine and a blank canvas to get the creative juices flowing.
6. Cloud watching
A good conversation starter is what you see in the clouds, open up your imagination
7. Jogging together
Get those endorphins flowing and that blood pumping
8. Tanning outside together
Too much sunbathing is not good, but it can be good to get some vitamin D occasionally.
9. Playing mini golf
Mini golf is a fun, easy, cheap and quick date.
10. Going to a local swimming pool
A great way to relax and one can show off their diving skills.
11. Riding bikes together
Exercise is the best, and biking is a great way to sight see.
12. Stargaze
Nothing is more romantic than sitting underneath a night sky full of stars.
13. Camp outside together
A true couple bonding experience includes roasting marshmallows together as well as sharing a sleeping bag in the great outdoors.
14. Grab a projector, lay out a blanket and have an outdoor movie theater
It's even better if the movie is a romantic comedy.
15. Go to a concert
I personally am buying every concert ticket possible once it's safe to do so again
16. Take a road trip
Start up a couples road trip playlist, and enjoy the ride.
17. Go to a local winery if you’re of age
Wineries can lead to outdoor time together and can make you feel classy and refined.
18. Grab ice cream or frozen yogurt
Kisses are not the only source of sugar necessary on dates
19. Go fishing
Fishing can even lead to catching what you all will have for dinner.
20. Go to a sporting event like an outdoor baseball game
Most people will be rushing to the ticket offices once sporting events are back and can have fans attend again.
