Let’s face it, planning date night can be a daunting task, especially if you are looking to do something out of the ordinary for your partner that you with both enjoy. Unique activities with your partner that are outside of your normal routine can add some spice to your life and relationship and allow you to bond and experience life in new ways. Seems impossible right?
Fear not! We’ve rounded up five day or night date ideas that are guaranteed to please even the pickiest of partners.
1. Couples Massage
Okay, we know what you’re thinking, but hear us out. A couples massage is the ultimate in relaxation and bonding. There’s something incredibly intimate about experiencing a shared moment of pure relaxation with your partner. It’s a chance to unwind and leave the stresses of everyday life behind while you’re in your service. Even the most macho of men will appreciate the chance to melt away tension. For those that feel a bit hesitant towards the idea, most places will allow you to select if you’d like a male or female provider and will always respect any boundaries you may place on certain areas of the body.
Get your partner involved in the process and search for a “couples massage near me” to find the highest quality place around you.
2. Trivia Night at the Brewery
Combine your love for beer with a healthy dose of competition at a local brewery or bar’s trivia night. It’s a fun and casual atmosphere where you can test your knowledge, enjoy delicious brews, and maybe even win a fun prize. Plus, it’s a great way to meet new people and learn some new things.
The great thing about trivia nights is that most places will often switch up the theme to keep you coming back to ensure a different experience each time. From Harry Potter trivia to 80’s music trivia, there is something that will be up both you and your partner’s alley.
3. Dinner and a Movie (with a Twist)
Sure, the classic dinner and a movie combo is a tried-and-true date night, but why not put a unique spin on it? Instead of hitting up the crowded multiplex, opt for a cozy dinner at your favorite restaurant followed by a movie night at home. Create a cozy atmosphere with blankets, pillows, and your favorite snacks.
As another option, depending on the area you live in, some cities are home to movie theatres with fantastic full food and drink menus with service right to your chair. Places like the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema are known for this exact type of service and are located in 27 cities across the United States.
4. Unleash Your Inner Athlete at Drive Shack or Top Golf
Looking for something a little more active but won’t make you break a sweat for date night? Head to a place like Drive Shack or Top Golf for a fun and competitive date night. These venues offer a modern twist on the classic driving range, with great food, tons of drink options, and games to keep you entertained. It’s a great way to appeal to your partner’s athletic side that’s still low-key enough for a chill date night.
5. Cook a Meal Together or Try a Cooking Class
Chances are that your partner loves food and some great cooking, who doesn’t? Depending on your level of skill or lack thereof, consider a fancy date night at home or sign up for a local cooking class to learn the basics plus unique tips and tricks.
If you’re not the best cook, the best part about cooking classes is that once you’re done putting in the tender love and care to create the meal, you can eat it! Many walk out of these classes feeling more confident than they did before with cooking certain dishes and can apply these skills in the kitchen time and time again.
For a romantic and budget-friendly date night, try cooking a meal together at home. Choose a recipe you both enjoy, put on some music, and enjoy the process of creating something delicious together. It’s a great opportunity to bond, learn new skills, and savor a meal that you created together.
Remember, the key to a successful date night is to choose an activity that you both enjoy. Whether you’re looking to relax, have fun, or connect on a deeper level, there’s a perfect date night out there for you. So, put away your phones, focus on each other, and create lasting memories together.
