The One Ultimate List of Date Ideas Starting With "Y"

Playing games in your yard offers the opportunity to have fun while not having to go very far at all. Badminton, corn hole and lawn darts are a few games that you can play in your yard. Getting some fresh air and moving your body is always a great way to spend some of your free time. If you've got a competitive spirit, then yard games are right up your alley. Make friendly wagers with each other or try to get more points than the other for bragging rights. Playing any game is much more fun when you have someone who you can compete against.

It doesn't matter what time of year it is; there's always some yard work that needs to be done. Two people can get the job done faster than one, and you can turn your outdoor chores into a date. You can turn it into an even more fun date by planning ahead and making some tasty drinks to enjoy if you're working on a hot day. Lemonade is a refreshing drink that will add some joy to your work. If you really want to treat yourselves for a job well done, eat some ice cream after doing the yard work. You might even consider planting a small garden so the two of you can have more enjoyable dates in the great outdoors.

Yarn bombing is where you take yarn and cover outdoor objects with it in artistic ways. Be creative and search for things that would look so out of place if they were covered in yarn. The more unique the item is, the more fun it is to cover with yarn. If you're really feeling adventurous, you can crochet around the item you're yarn bombing. The fun thing to do here is for both of you to search for things that you can yarn bomb. If you want to go out of your way, yarn bomb a friend who will think it's hilarious to see an item of theirs covered in yarn. The look on their face will be priceless when they see what you've done. Just search online for some inspiration on what you might do.

Supporting the YMCA is excellent because by doing so you do a number of good things for your community. Going to the YMCA is a great way to stay healthy and get rid of some stress. Couples who work out together tend to be healthier and happier. Anyone who has ever worked out in a gym knows that it's always great to have someone there to help you. A date at the YMCA is a wonderful chance for you two to spend some time together and also help each other become physically fit. Some YMCA locations have indoor swimming pools and other activities such as table tennis that you can enjoy as well. Look up your local YMCA to find out more.

Playing with a yo-yo is something that can make you feel like a kid in no time flat. A yo-yo is a cheap toy, and the two of you can each have your own. Go to YouTube and watch a few videos on how to do yo-yo tricks. You'll quickly see that even a beginner can do at least half a dozen tricks within a few minutes. The real fun happens after you've practiced a little longer and you've learned several more tricks. Make videos of each other doing tricks and share them with your friends and family. A yo-yo is an old-fashioned toy without any of the bells and whistles that we're accustomed to in our high-tech world. That in itself is another reason to consider a yo-yo date since it will keep the two of you from just looking at a screen all the time.

Yoga can be done at home or in a class. Some couples might not feel comfortable doing yoga in front of strangers, so doing it home might be the best solution. There are many yoga instructors on YouTube who are more than willing to show you the ropes. If doing yoga at home, each of you will need a mat. Make sure to wear the appropriate attire for all of the stretching you'll be doing. It's okay if you're not able to do all of the poses, yoga is something that you get better at over time. Have a chat after your yoga session is over, and you'll be surprised by how effortlessly the conversation flows after a mind-clearing workout. This activity can be done just once or can be done more often to achieve all the benefits yoga has to offer.

Do you remember your first date? Nothing has changed your life course as much as your first date has. Why not recreate your first date? If you can't, because the restaurant or whatever no longer exists, spend some time reminiscing about your first date. Talk to each other and go through how you were feeling during your first date. Were you feeling excited? Nervous? You might be surprised by how your spouse felt during that fateful first date. If you have any journal or diary entries from the time, bust them out and read them. If not, it's not to late to write about your first date so you can better remember this important event. Always take time out to remember where you've been as a couple so that you can see your progress. Reliving the past is essential to understand how you got where you're at now. Enjoy yesterday, while appreciating today with a date that celebrates the infancy of your relationship.

YouTube offers a plethora of free videos that cover almost everything you can think of. Watching online videos together is a fun way to relax and have some alone time with each other.

Whatever topic you can think is probably available to watch on YouTube. Explore some new things that might have never been on your radar before. Who knows, you might stumble upon new activities that can later be turned into new date ideas.
