Food & Drink
Making s'mores is so much fun. Eating the s'mores is a whole different experience. The roasting of the marshmallows is fun in itself. There's something about sticking a marshmallow on a stick and roasting it that is such an enjoyable experience. Conversations have a way of spiraling into something truly magical when you're around the campfire. Don't worry; you can roast marshmallows outside your home over a charcoal grill if needed. You can take your s'mores inside or enjoy them while out in the open fresh air. Anytime is a good time to whip up a batch of s'mores and turn it into a delicious date.
Outdoors
Going on a safari is a wild adventure filled with the type of excitement that any animal lover can identify with. The two of you will sit in a truck and watch wild animals in their natural habitat. It will be so much fun to see how your spouse reacts when they get close to an animal that they've only seen on television before. Your guide will make your trip exciting and informative. There is no need to worry about the animals since you're in a vehicle and can leave at any time. The reaction that both of you have to such majestic beasts will last in your memory banks for an entire lifetime.
Food & Drink
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. The most fun thing to do is to bite the chocolates in half and share them. The two of you can comment on which chocolates that you like the best. 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.
Fun & Games
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. If you really want to go out of your way and turn it into a fantastic date, take lunch with you and eat it on the beach. Make it more fun by seeing how elaborate you can build your sandcastles. Collaborate or compete to make it fabulous. After your sandcastles are complete, then go for a dip in the water and enjoy yourself. The perfect way to end a date under the sun and in the sand is with the two of you swimming and having a ton of fun in the water.
Fun & Games
The trick to turning a scavenger hunt into a date is making a list before you go out. The list that you create should have quite a few hard to find items on it. You can turn to the internet to find a list, and that might be the best option. The goal here is to locate hard to find items that will take you some time. The fun is working hard to find the items and where the journey leads you. Try to come up with items that will be hard to find that will require teamwork to pull it off. The more you have to rely on each other, the more the two of you will enjoy it.
Fun & Games
Science experiments are one of those things that always catch you off guard. The world is an odd place, and science experiments prove it. You can learn what science experiments to do from surfing the internet or buying science experiment kits. No matter if you take the DIY approach or buy a kit, you're bound to have a good time. No two science experiments are alike, and both of you will learn so much from doing them. Unleash your inner geek and learn about the world around you by performing experiments.
Travel
These days it's super easy to rent electric bikes and scooters. You probably know several areas in your community where scooters and bikes are waiting for people to rent them. Renting the electronic devices tends to be fairly easy and inexpensive as well. You can rent them by the hour or by the day, but it's best to check with the rental company if you have any questions about how much it costs. A date on a scooter or electric bike could be just going for a ride, or you could turn it into a whole day affair. The great thing about renting the scooters or bikes is, you can leave them almost anywhere you want. You don't have to take them back where you got them, and that opens the door for even more date possibilities.
Hobbies
If you've been married for any length of time, then scrapbooking is a total blast. It's like walking down memory lane and reliving all of your favorite moments together. Sometimes it's good to sit and think back to all the fun that the two of you had. Don't just go through the motions, and build your scrapbook, talk about what happened in the pictures. Relive your most wonderful moments by looking at the photos you took during those times. It's as much of a celebration of the life that the two of you have shared as much as it is enjoying the moment that the photo was taken during.
Personal Development
Studying scripture is one of the most important things you can do if you're religious. It's your duty to study the scriptures, and they bring you closer to God. A great date idea is to sit down and take turns reading the scriptures together. You can take turns after reading the scriptures out loud and discuss what you think they mean. Reading God's word is a vital part of your walk-in life, and it's so crucial that your spouse shares it with you. Bond together, get closer to the Lord and allow yourselves to grow in the spirit of God by reading scriptures together.
Sports
Scuba diving is the perfect date night for those who live near the ocean. If you don't live near the ocean, then going scuba diving is a great weekend vacation. Hop on a plane and go to the nearest clear ocean and go in for a dip. The beauty of the ocean awaits those who are adventurous enough to dive into it. The look on your faces will be priceless as you see things in real life that you've only seen on television.
Romance & Relationship
A second honeymoon is a perfect idea for couples married for a while, especially those who want to rekindle their marriage. A second honeymoon date can be as extravagant as you want it to be. Do you want to go all out and have the honeymoon you've ever dreamed of? Maybe your ideal honeymoon date would be to hole up in a local hotel and order takeout food. It's your honeymoon date, and the most important thing is that you find a way to enjoy it. Why not have a second honeymoon and take a little time out of your lives to appreciate each other?
Fun & Games
Did you know that you can rent segways at locations near many parks? You can, and that's why you see so many people riding segways near parks. It usually only costs a few dollars to rent a segway, which makes them such a great date idea. The two of you can each rent segways and then go around the park riding them. It won't take you long to figure out how to ride a segway. A few moments is all it takes, and the two of you will be zipping around the park trying to outdo each other.
Classes & Workshops
You never know if you're going to be in a situation where you need to defend yourself. Going to self-defense classes as a date can be an enjoyable and educational experience. You will learn how to defend yourself if someone were to attack you. These are lifesaving skills that might come in handy one of these days. You can't be too safe these days, and learning how to protect yourself is so crucial. You'll not only learn how to protect yourself but your family as well. If the time ever were to happen when you needed to do something to protect the people you love, you'd have the skills and knowledge to do it.
Personal Development
There's plenty of money to be made online selling a wide variety of things. You can go to garage sales, flea markets, and closeout stores and find items to sell online. If you're the creative type, you can make stuff and sell it on a place like Etsy. If you prefer the auction route, you can sell almost anything on eBay. You can turn selling online into a family business if you want. It starts with having a couple of dates selling items online, and from there, it's anyone's guess as to how far your business will grow.
Personal Development
Seminars and lectures might sound dry and dull, but it all depends on the subject! You might find a lecture at your local college about a topic that you and your spouse really enjoy. Churches often have guest speakers who give seminars free of charge that can be quite helpful in your spiritual growth. You can make your lecture or seminar date even more enjoyable by going out to eat before or after attending. You aren't going to be able to talk much while the person talks, so you may want to sit at a coffee shop or someplace else and discuss what the lecturer spoke about.
Health & Wellness
If the two of you have a date in a sensory deprivation tank, you'll never come back the same. You might think that floating in salt water in a dark tank while having your senses deprived of everything doesn't sound like it would be life-altering. Anyone who has ever been in a sensory deprivation tank knows how much it changes everything. If you haven't had this experience yet, now's the time to give it a try. After you're done, talk to each other and discuss the immediate changes. You will be surprised by how almost identical your reactions are to this profoundly odd and satisfying experience.
Causes & Service
Being in service to others means that you do whatever they need help with. You might offer your time to take someone to the doctor, clean their home, or walk their dog. Sometimes what people need is something that requires two more or to get the job done. By turning servicing the community into a date, you'll improve others' lives while spending time together. You will feel great about yourself and as a couple if you can do something that will make someone's life better. Even small tasks like doing laundry, raking leaves, or sitting down and talking to someone can significantly impact their life.
Home
A date of sewing may not be what it seems at first. You can sew things such as homemade teddy bears and give them to charity. You can obviously turn mending your clothes into a great cost-saving date. You can buy patterns and material to make almost anything on your sewing date. If you don't have a sewing machine, don't sweat it, sewing is something you can also do by hand. You might find that sewing together not using a machine is a much more enjoyable date. If you're new to sewing, it's best to buy a couple of thimbles to save your fingers from getting poked. You don't want your fingers to turn into a pin cushion during your date!
Hobbies
Fossil hunting is like going back in time and piecing together what life was like long before you were here. Do a little research beforehand to know what type of fossils you should expect in your area. If you can, travel to an area well known for having fossils. Digging up the fossils is only half the fun because you've got to identify what you dug up. The first thing you do is try to determine what part of the animal you discovered. After that, then you move on to trying to figure out what animal the bones came from. The exciting thing is, you might be holding onto the bones of a dinosaur that hasn't seen the light of day for millions of years.
Sports
Shuffleboard is a fun game that can get you outside and enjoying the company of the person you love. The most popular place to play shuffleboard is on a cruise, but you don't need to be on a ship to enjoy playing this game. You only need the right equipment and an area to play in. A lot of bars or game centers also have shuffleboards. A few minutes is all it takes to learn how to play shuffleboard. Those of you play shuffleboard several times will get better playing as time goes on. If you ever go on a cruise, everyone will be shocked by how great a shuffleboard player you are. None of those people will know about your shuffleboard dates, and they'll be surprised when watching you play.
