Spending time together as a couple does not have to be boring. In fact, with a few great ideas, you can turn your dates into something wonderfully different and fun. Surprise your date with one of these great ideas.
Get a Massage Together
Who doesn't enjoy a good massage? A couple's massage is a great way to relax together and can be done at a spa or in your own home. You will need to book ahead to be sure that you can both have your massage at the same time if you are going to the spa. An in home massage may be available for a higher fee, so ask when you are speaking with the spa management. Hotels may also offer couple's massages in your room.
See a Show
No matter where you live, there will be a show of some sort nearby. This can range from a play put on by the local high school or it could be a showing of Shakespeare in the park. A concert or musical is also fair game and a fun way to spend an evening. Shows can be a great alternative to the usual movie.
Hit the Amusement Park
A theme park or fair with rides can be an enjoyable way to get to know someone better. Sitting together on the rides gives good date vibes, too. Plus, the chance to be a kid again is never to be underestimated.
Take on a Volunteer Project
Giving back is the best way to get closer to that special someone and it can also give you a glimpse of the softer side of your date. There are a number of opportunities available to couples looking to spend some time volunteering. Ask local soup kitchens and homeless shelters if they need a hand if you want to work with people, or look to animal shelters and wildlife preserves if you prefer to help animals. Habitat for Humanity is another good choice for anyone interested in building projects.
Eat in the Dark
A hot new trend in Europe is blind dining. You have heard how other senses kick in to make up for a missing sense and this puts that to the test. Eat your meal in pitch black and you will find a whole new level of appreciation for the flavors and textures of what you put in your mouth. Just keep in mind that finger foods are best for this type of date, since you want to accidentally cut yourself or stab your date with a fork.
These date ideas are all great alternatives to the more standard date fare and can give you a better look at who you are going out with. They also work for married couples.
