Sign up for a Cooking Class
A lot of date ideas work no matter the season, and this is one of them. Taking a cooking class is always a fun way to spend some quality time with your partner. Better yet, you’ll also get to enjoy a homemade meal while you’re at it!
Solve an Escape Room
This great fall date night idea actually works year-round. An escape room is perfect for those stormy or snowy nights when you’d typically turn to a movie.
Go to a Sporting Event
Sporting events are great ways to bring some joy and excitement to your relationship. Even if you aren’t big sports fans, try going to one anyway—the thrilling atmosphere makes it well worth it! Not to mention, there’s always some sort of sporting event going on all year long.
Visit a Local Winery or Brewery
If you and your partner like to sip, then head to a local brewery or winery instead of your typical restaurant. A lot of these places will allow you to bring food in, and some even have their own kitchens or tasty food trucks nearby. Enjoy each other’s company while you sip on some tasty beverages.
Throw a Themed Movie Night
We’ve been talking about how you should try to limit your dinner-and-a-movie date nights, but this idea is a little different. Pick a movie with a distinct theme to watch at home, then make dinner based around that theme. For example, if you’ve chosen Midnight in Paris, try making a French dish you’ve never tried before. It’s a relaxing and rejuvenating date night idea.
Plan Weekly Date Walks
This is a very simple date idea, and it’s something you can easily pair with other ideas on this list. Bundle up for winter walks or stroll around the town in the summer—walks are great opportunities to reconnect and hear more about your partner’s day.
Fires and Game Night
Whether you have a fireplace or an outdoor firepit, plan a night where you play games and sit by the fire. Nights like these tend to turn into nights of enthralling conversation and focused attention, so if you notice that you both seem a little disconnected, this may be the thing that syncs you back up again.
Volunteer for a Cause
Finally, another idea that’s quite easy to accomplish no matter the time of year is volunteering—it’s is a fantastic way to spend time together. Choose a cause you’re both passionate about, and figure out a way to volunteer for it. Meaningful date nights like these will put a lot of issues you may be dealing with in perspective.
