Creative Date Ideas That Works Every Time

Dates can be fun. Dates can also be intimidating. And dates can also go terribly wrong if you don’t plan them out. We understand running a business is probably taking up the bulk of your time and planning a successful date is just the last thing on your mind. It’s not that you don’t care, you’re just so darn busy building your empire. It’s just what entrepreneurs do, we get it. That’s why we curated a list of creative date ideas you can adopt to impress that special someone in your life.

Go Ice Skating

You’ve seen this in movies, especially those rom-coms, without a doubt. But don’t let the cheesy nature of these dates stop you from seeing the real reason people still go ice skating. Ice skating is a fun exercise and even more fun when one (or both) parties can’t skate. It’s an exhilarating time that allows you to both emotionally and physically bond with your partner. You’ll get to hold hands, fall, laugh, and create tons of memories together. Not to mention you’ll be desperately hungry afterward, making your dinner that much better.

Board Game & Dinner

Now you’re wondering…what kind of board game can you play with just two people? And she’ll likely be wondering the same thing. But rest assure, there’s plenty of fun games two people can play and still have a lot of fun. Connect four, battleship, checkers, worse game of bingo…the list goes on. You’ll be cooking dinner and the two of you will get to enjoy a wonderful and intimate dinner with each other. Afterward, she’ll wonder just what kind of board game you’re going to play. But it’s not the game that matters, it’s the conversation you’ll be having while playing a silly game and sipping wine that’s memorable.

Go Dancing Together

This can be tricky but at the same time, ridiculously intimate if done right. You’ll probably have to check their comfort level to see if they’re down for something like this. If they can’t dance, that’s even better. Joining a dance class together allows both of you to experience the joy of learning something new (or teaching someone something new), connect emotionally and physically, and also get a lot of good laughs out of it. Similar to ice skating, going dancing together can be a great time and allow you to get to know one another on a much deeper level.

Go On A Foodie Hunt

Find a special dish that’s only served in a specific city and plan a day trip to get it. Make sure the dish is something that both you and your partner can enjoy and that they also look forward to it. Then hype the crap out of it and get them really excited for the trip. And plan the trip together with your partner to ensure they know what to expect and then hit the road! You’ll find that the  long journey is worth much more than the actual dish itself. And you both can enjoy the fruits of your labor once you sit down and enjoy the delicacy that you both went to such great extent to get. It’ll be a worth while experience and definitely memorable.

Star Gazing With Food

As you can see here, the key to success is food. Can’t have a successful date without food. Never forget that my friend. Stargazing is yet another cheesy thing romantic comedies popularized, but don’t let that fool you. It can be a lot of fun, exciting, and great for bonding if you’re with the right person. Make sure to pack a lot of great food, or even stop by somewhere and pack food together. A bottle of wine is always a nice touch. Find a good spot to stargaze, do some research yourself, and schedule your date.

And there you have it, a handful of creative date ideas to give your dating life a boost. These are by no means the only ideas, but they’ve been proven time and time again to be effective at creating a strong emotional and physical bond with your partner. A date where you don’t get to physically touch or bond is much more difficult to enjoy. A date where you get to touch. bond, talk, engage, and make a lot of eye contact with one another is definitely one that’s more memorable and likely to lead into something more lasting.
