Spring Date Ideas!
It's Saturday afternoon and you're bored... What do you do? It's springtime (allergy season, my least favorite), the birds are chirping, the sun is out. Get out and go have fun!!! If you're looking for a place to eat or something to do, I got you! Whether you're solo, with a friend, or with a cute date, look no further for some fun (and cheap!) date ideas.
- Drive-In Movies: Raise your hand if you're tired of paying $300 for a movie ticket! The drive-ins are a great alternative to the theaters... and you can bring your own food! They usually show the same movies as the theaters and the tickets are cheaper.
- Go Downtown: Explore your city's downtown area - find a new place to eat, walk around, take some photos, go out to a club, or go to a museum.
- Game Night: Host a game night at your house/friend's house. Bring Uno, cards, mancala, board games, and snacks for a fun night in.
- Bike Ride: There are so many trails in so many cities or you can just take a random route. Ride until you can't go anymore or take a ride to your favorite ice cream shop or restaurant. (I don't actually bike ride often because my knees are terrible but if you do and it's fun, let me know! Lol)
- Photo shoot: Just about everyone has an iPhone or a good camera, find a random place and take some fun photos. It doesn't have to be Tyra Banks level, but just have fun and share your pictures to Instagram.
- Netflix & Hulu: Find a TV show and binge watch as many seasons as possible or have a movie day.
- Make Dinner: Find a recipe on Pinterest and invite some friends over to be your taste-testers. Maybe you can make the main course and ask them to bring drinks/sides. Or, you can just cheat and buy a frozen lasagna from the grocery store... no one will know.
- Mini Golf/Golfing: Top Golf is becoming increasingly popular. Grab a group of people and channel your inner Tiger Woods.
- Go for a Walk/Hike: It's free! The only thing is you may have to make a bit of a drive to get to a trail but it's usually worth it! Take some photos while you're there!
- Coffee/Tea Date: Find a local coffee shop that you've never been to, order some brew, and talk!
- $20 Challenge: Come up with a store to go to or a restaurant to try and don't spend more than 20 bucks.
- Read!: So old-school, I know. But seriously, go to a bookstore, pick up 2 copies, take the book to Starbucks and read together. You can discuss what you liked/didn't like and have something to do together in the future.
- Paint Nite DIY: Paint nights are so fun but can be so pricey. Instead of going out, go to a local craft store and grab some paint/supplies and have your own paint night for cheap.
- Bowling: Go in a group of 2 or more and get a lane for an hour. Grab some food at the snack bar or eat before/after you go and have some fun!
- Escape Room: Best done with a group of friends or a double date, visit an Escape Room and see if you can get out in time!
Hopefully this helps! If you have any cool date ideas or outings please share them in the comments section below! See you in my next post...
