A couple who does things such as ropes courses is a couple who are in tune with their health and their physical limitations.

Making igloos and snow forts are the perfect winter dates that are sure to create memories that last forever.

Getting away for the weekend is more than just a fantastic date idea, it's also a much-needed stress reliever for couples.

Bull riding is a date idea that's unique and super fun. Most likely you'll only be watching the pros do the riding, but you may even have an opportunity to do some riding yourself somewhere, even if it's just a mechanical bull. Bull riding is both dangerous and exciting at the same time. If you've never watched a rodeo before, you have no idea what you're in for. A bull bucks and goes crazy when someone is on their back.

See what tourists do when they visit where you live and do some of the same things. You may be surprised at all the popular attractions you have nearby that you have never experienced. If you live in a small town, you can always go to the next town over and act like a tourist there. Acting like a tourist is a fun date you can do for a few hours or turn it into an all-day affair.

A little weekend getaway or a full-blown vacation are both great ideas for a date. If you don't have that much free time to work with, go on an evening road trip. The whole point is, get out there with the person you love and enjoy some scenery. Traveling is something couples do to learn about each other. You get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and allow each other to explore who you really are. Traveling is always more about learning about yourselves than it is about sightseeing. You never come back the same person as you left when you travel. Your relationship will change, and you will know each other on a much deeper level after traveling together.

House sitting is a fun way to get out of your own home and experience new places. When you house site for someone else you agree to watch over their home while they are away. House sitting can feel like you're staying in a hotel if you have the right mindset. Take a look around their house and ask each other what you like and don't like about it. Get suggestions from each other on how you can improve your own home. House sitting isn't a difficult task, and that means you will have plenty of time together. If done right you can combine house sitting and travel for a neat way to experience new places while keeping your travel costs down.

Poems are a great way to express how you feel. A fantastic date idea is for the two of you to write a poem together. Maybe write a poem about the love the two of you share. The poem you write might be funny or have nothing at all to do with love. Don't worry about getting the poem's structure right or anything like that since that's not what's important. Get a pen and paper, and have yourself a blast. Writing a poem together can be done outside on a sunny day or inside on a rainy day. You can turn what would otherwise be a dreary wet day into one filled with romance when you talk about why you love the other so much. Or maybe instead of writing a poem together, each of you can write a love poem to the other. The poems you write can be cherished keepsakes forever.

Donating blood is a great way to give back to the community while spending some time with each other. Try to have the nurse sit the two of you next to each other so you can talk while giving blood. Relax and enjoy yourself while you give blood. For some couples, a blood donation date is the only time they can relax and not worry about doing anything else. Sometimes it takes something out of the ordinary to make a couple pause the world around them for a brief moment.

Do you have an inner actor or actress waiting to come bursting out? If so, acting classes are more than just a date; they could be a path to something even bigger.

The skills that you learn can be used at home on future dates to act out scenes in your favorite movies.

Every now and then, everyone needs to let their hair down and have a little old-fashioned fun. A skipping stones date allows you to do just that, and it's so incredibly relaxing. How exactly do you skip stones? First you find some small, flat rocks, they'll skip across the water best. Once you have a good rock to toss out there, try to throw it hard and fast, at a low angle (as parallel to the water as possible). This will allow you to skip them across the water. Ponds and lakes work best for skipping stones, and you'll get the hang of it after a while. You'll be surprised by how many times you can get the stone to skip across the water. It won't be long until you're able to skip the stone a pretty far distance. For added fun, have a competition to see who can get the most skips in, get the highest skip, skip the largest rock, etc.

Don't forget to make videos of your kitesurfing adventure so you can someday share your date with your grandkids.

Touring a university might not sound like the most exciting date idea, but it can be a practical date idea if either one of you is thinking about going to school. Or if you're not looking for educational opportunities, almost every university has a history that is as unique as its students. You might have lived in your city your entire life and not know all there is to know about your local university. Take a university tour with your spouse and discover the rich heritage of the educational facility or learn about the benefits of pursuing your education there. If you've got some extra cash laying around, buy a sweatshirt or two for each of you to remember your university tour. If either of you went to the university, it would make the tour much more enjoyable. You'll be able to tell your spouse all about what happened when you were in school.

Going to an observatory is a great way to learn about the world and the universe around you. The place that we call home has so many mysteries that are just waiting for you to unlock them.

Every time the two of you have a star-filled romantic time under the blanket of darkness, you'll think back to everything you learned at the observatory.

Ecotourism is one of those date ideas that might only be possible for a limited time in some areas. Sometimes nature takes control over a place and changes it forever.

Many of the most beautiful places on earth, as well as its creatures, are threatened by human overuse and exploitation, and due to things like climate change, some may be gone in your lifetime without intervention. Ecotourism gives you a chance to see these areas and support the locals to preserve their earthly treasures with the money you spend.

A mountaineering date is where you climb a mountain. It sounds simple enough, but depending on the mountain, it can be one of life's greatest challenges.

Something happens when you're high up on a mountain, and you get to experience nature on a level that most people can only dream of.

The world of 3D printing is exploding right now, and it's such a fascinating time. Your 3D printing date could be broken down into two dates. The first date you design your product and find someone to make it for you. If you go the local route, you can pick up your design during your second date.

Read the letter back after you're done writing it and enjoy all the hard work you've put into it.

A day at the beach making sandcastles is as much fun as it sounds. Bring along a few little shovels, some containers, and whatever else that you need to make sandcastles.

Traditions are such an essential part of who we are. If you have a family, it's always nice to teach your children about your traditions. Why not turn a date night into an evening of learning about your traditions and finding ways to preserve them? The memories that come about from reliving the traditions make the effort all that worthwhile. People from your past will spurt out of nowhere and, along with them, memories that you thought you forgot. Traditions have a way of dying in the modern technical era, but they don't have to. Preserve your past while also protecting your future by setting and doing traditions that have been passed on from generations past.

Windsurfing is more than an excuse to get out there on the water; it's also a great way to spend the day with the person you love.

A box of chocolates is more than a great gift; it's a fun-filled date suggestion as well. A box of chocolates has all kinds of great things in them.

One of you will more than likely favor fruity or soft chocolates while the other likes the ones with nuts in them. Either way, it's fun to sample the chocolates and to comment about which ones you like best. It will be surprising to see which ones you agree on that are the best and which you disagree about.

If you want to play pool, then you've got to be careful where you go. A roughneck bar might not be the ideal place for an evening game of billiards. Pool halls, bowling alleys, and even some restaurants have pool tables. Don't worry if you're any good at playing pool; sometimes it's more fun to play if you're terrible. Do learn the rules of the game though - 8-ball, 9-ball, whatever game interests you. Fire up the jukebox if they have one and just have fun. The two of you will laugh up a storm when one of you misses the cue ball. It's not about who wins the game; it's all about how much fun you have when you play pool.

The carnival might come to town only once a year, but when it's around it's the perfect date. You already know when the carnival is coming to town long before it ever does.

You'll always remember the time that you almost wet yourself because the ride was too scary.

Tailgating can be a fun date; however, whatever you do, don't drink and drive. If you're planning on drinking make sure you consider other transportation options.

You never know, someone may offer you a bite or two of BBQ. If your favorite team isn't in town, don't worry, tailgating is fun no matter what - some people tailgate who have no interest in the sport whatsoever.

Gardeners and fruit growers are always looking for ways to preserve their bountiful harvest. Even if you don't garden or grow anything yourself, you probably see all the fresh fruits and vegetables during harvest time and wish there was a way to preserve them.

By the time you are at the foot of the hill you'll be smiling and belting out all kinds of laughter.

Every city has tourist attractions that you can visit. The tourist attractions in your area might include museums, theaters, and amusement parks.

If that's the case for you, it will be a lot of fun to revisit the places you haven't been to in a while.

You will want to be careful though because some of the critters can be poisonous, and it can take someone knowledgeable to know which are which.

Take your smartphone with you so you can snap a few shots of anything that you see while you're cruising along looking for creepy crawlies.
