Grab $20 each (or some preset amount), and hit your local grocery store. Your job is to buy creative menu items or things you think your partner would enjoy, and they shop for you. Set a time limit and then share your finds and create something together.

This is a strange idea, indeed. If you’re into Tarot cards or trying to figure out your future, this is a date night idea for you. Having your significant other with you adds a level of excitement and can lead to interesting conversations.

Instead of working on your laptop at your local coffee shop, take your date out for some coffee and play a board or card game. It gets you out of the house, gives you a chance for delicious coffee and snacks, and see who’s the best player.

A beach trip is always fun, but have you ever gone at night? It’s a great time to go. There are fewer people about and the moonlight adds a level of romance and intrigue. It’s also a lot cooler.

Ditch the fancy restaurant and take your love out for some street food! That hot dog stand on Main Street? Perfect. Food Truck Sunday at your local park? Amazing. You might be surprised what amazing food can be found with street vendors.

Turn the GPS off and hit the road. Just drive. Take a highway you never have before or go left when you normally go right. You might discover new things! Just be sure to fill up your tank before you go and have GPS on backup.

Hit up a local brewery and take a guided tour. It’s an inexpensive way to grab a drink and enjoy some time learning something new with your other half.

I don’t mean hit up a club and move around like everyone else. I mean go to a class and learn how to officially dance. Ballroom Waltz, Salsa, Bachata, Tango, Swing…there are so many styles you could study. The next time you do go to the club, you and date will rule the dance floor.

This isn’t exactly a first date idea, so use caution. However, when you guys find yourselves wanting to do something different and adventurous, choose one of your fears and try to conquer it together. Having someone you love with you will help you overcome whatever fear you face.

Video games are loved by many for lots of reasons. They can be full of adventure and imagination. Instead of playing separately, try playing together.

You know, sometimes it’s nice to just sit with your other half, even if you’re not directly, actively engaging each other. Grab your favorite book or crossword puzzle and curl up on the couch together. Just try to stay off your phones.

Don’t judge it until you try it.

Why stick to 1 restaurant when you can visit 5? Choose a different restaurant for each course: a soup, an appetizer, a salad, a main entree, and a dessert. You can also cut the price tag by only going for 3.

What can you learn about your partner by playing “Never Have I Ever…”

Anything.

Add a new dimension to your date by watching a movie outside or from your car. Check your local listings and see if there’s a drive in around. If there’s not, rent a projector and set a movie up outside.

Here’s another way to bring our your inner child while rekindling a spark.

Hit up a berry farm and pick some berries! You can extend the fun by baking a cake or shortcake.

Get to know your city through the eyes of a tour guide, all while cruising around on a Segway.

Roof top pools are pretty popular in some cities. Check around and see if there is one near you. If there is, spend some time taking a dip with your favorite person.

Take a pottery class, learn how to decorate cupcakes, take a wine and canvas class. There are many fun things to learn out there, and it’s a great way connect over a shared experience.

This one might not sound so strange, but most people forget about this option when they’re planning their date night. Now go relax together.

This one isn’t very traditional at all, but it will not only bring you together, you’ll also be helping others.

Wine and canvas nights can be a bit pricey, so cut down on the price by grabbing some wine and painting at home. Look up a YouTube tutorial and get to painting.

This is fun because you can take your partner all over town and show them new things. Take turns and have fun.
