A picnic can be a romantic way to spend an afternoon on a warm, summer day.

Picking a spot where you have a great view can add to the ambience. It doesn’t matter if it’s on the side of a hill, or a place where you get a view of the city skyline, a beautiful mood can ensure the perfect mood for your picnic.

Just imagine, lying against each other on a thick blanket with a glass of wine (if alcohol is permitted at the location, of course), watching the sun set.

It can be one of the best experiences you could have.

A picnic can be a great way to get to know each other better in a relaxed and romantic setting.

Gig Venue

Often when people think of going to a gig for a date, they imagine being stuck in a large concert venue with hundreds of people pushing and shoving each other.

This couldn’t be further from the truth.

You’ll be able to find smaller gig venues that are a genuine pleasure to spend time in.

More often than not, these gig venues are cafes during the day, meaning you can get a bite to eat earlier on and watch a band in the evening.

Jazz clubs can be a great way to spend a date.

Five Course Dinner, at Five Different Locations

This may seem like an unusual one, but it can be a great way to spend an evening, especially if your date likes surprises.

It couldn’t be simpler, you go to one place for an appetiser at one place, have soup at another, main course someplace else, dessert elsewhere and coffee at a cosy cafe.

If the two of you have a wide range of food tastes, you can choose five different locations that are all completely different from each other.

There are so many options as well. You could choose a stretch of restaurants as your locations, or you can be really spontaneous and jump in a taxi to a pre planned location; it really is up to you and your date.

One of the best things about these kind of dates are just how memorable they are. Your date won’t be forgetting an exciting evening like this for a long time.

Decorate a Christmas Tree Together

I know this is a seasonal date idea, but that doesn’t detract from the fun you can have during the Christmas period.

It can be a great way to cheer up either your or their living space, as well as getting into the Christmas spirit.

Once the Christmas tree is up and decorated, it then serves as a visual reminder of what you and your date have done together.

This date activity may not be for everyone,

If you are taking a person on a date that loves everything about Christmas then it can be a great experience for both parties.

Fun Fair

It may be a cliche that you see on films all the time, but it can be the perfect way to spend an evening with your date.

There is just so much to do with modern fun fairs. You can attempt to win a fluffy toy for your date, go full road rage on the dodgems, get a buzz from a rollercoaster or hold each tight when riding the ghost train. There is an activity here for everyone.

Fairs are designed as a fun place to be, so it’s a great way to spend an exciting evening with each other, and for an affordable price.

Paintball

This may not be the ideal place for a first date, or if either you or your date doesn’t like this sort of activity, but if both parties are willing then it can be a thrilling and exciting way to spend a day.

Make sure that the both of you are on the same team and you can have a great time. Act as a human shield to protect your date, or choose to be tactical, you’ll both have a good time and create memories you’ll be telling for years.

In the unfortunate situation where you end up on opposing sides then you can allow your date to take you out as an act of good sportsmanship.

Again, it’s important to make sure that your date actually enjoys activities like this before actually going ahead with it.
