3Perfect date in the Park
Searching for perfect date ideas? A park tour was the second date for my boyfriend and I! We went to several parks in town and eventually found our favorite. We walked around, swung on the swings, and talked until the stars came out and then we laid in the grass and he pointed out constellations. Talk about the best date ever.
4Stay at home date ideas – Dine-in and cook together
Since moving in together, this is a twice and sometimes three times a week thing. Cell phones down, Netflix off, and us just cooking and talking. These are my favorite nights because they are surprisingly relaxing. Neither of us are the greatest cooks either, but it is just fun to do anything together.
5Best date ideas – Plant a garden
6Cute date night ideas – Local attraction
A restaurant or place that all the tourists go too in town. For me personally, it is a bunch of cars sticking out of the ground that everyone spraypaints. I have yet to take my boyfriend there, but I see it happening in our future. Any decent size town has a tourist attraction, and there is a reason it is an attraction.

10Coffee Shop Music Night
A great idea id you’re looking for what to do on a Saturday night. Even if you aren’t hipsters this can be a fun memorable date. In my city, there are the weird coffee shops downtown that are mildly sketchy and then the goody goody coffee shops. With coffee shop music nights on the rise, you are sure to find a variety of options.

15Places to go on a date – Hibachi Restaurant
This is one of the best anniversary date ideas! My boyfriend and I go to the same hibachi restaurant at least once a month and always enjoy ourselves. Be sure to go online and do some research. Some restaurant’s cooks will really put on a show while others not so much. Go to one that has good review about the cooks.
16Creative date ideas- Drinking and Painting Class
17Fun dates – Art Gallery
18Day Trip
19Redecorate a room
There are so many things to do on a date like this! If you are living together, you know how tight money can get sometimes, so instead of spending your cash on something temporary spend the money on a new side table, or a new lamp. Then to make it fun, and possibly test your relationship, rearrange the rest of the room.
20Things to do with your boyfriend – Revamp Your Instagrams
Go all over town taking awesome artsy photos of stuff so you have a stock pile of awesomeness to post on Instagram. Ladies, you might have to help your men with the hashtags to get lots of likes. I helped my boyfriend with a post one time and he got 50 likes (a huge step up from his normal 12) and he was extremely proud of his photography skills.
21Classic Dinner and a date night movie
You cannot go wrong with this. Ever. Go somewhere nice where you have to dress up. There are very few times in my life that I get to put on a somewhat nice dress and wear heels. Treat yourselves to something special just because. You don’t need an occasion like an anniversary or birthday to act classy.
22Go See the Grandparents
23Unique date ideas – Rent a Tandem Bike
24Fun things to do at night – Outdoor Movie/Concert
25Go Dancing
26Turn Up
27Good first date ideas – Go get a taco
28Meet up with the family
For some odd reason, my boyfriend and I always seem closer after we spend time with my family. I couldn’t begin to explain why or say that we enjoy every minute that we are with them, but we always have fun. Probably because we are surrounded by other people that love us as much as we love each other.
29Good date ideas – $5 Bin Movie Night
I know Netflix is the thing now, but those $5 movie bins have some pretty off the wall, sometimes weird films. So if you’re looking for fun things to do with your boyfriend, Then take a chance, dive your hand in, pull out a movie, and whatever you get is what you and your man have to watch that night. You have to make it through the whole movie though. Make fun of it all the way through if you have too.
30Backroad
Just go drive around and listen to music. Don’t get lost though if you decide to try some rural roads. My boyfriend and I do this on a regular basis. We load the dog up and just go enjoy the scenery and fresh air. On warm nights we take a trip down memory lane and lay in the back of his truck and look at the stars.
