The fall season is upon us and what better way to stay warm than by trying something new with your boo? Ayana Iman at Black Love shared 15 ways to rev up the romance in your love life with these heartwarming ideas for dates this fall. Enjoy!
Virtual Reality, Anyone?
Virtual reality is an immersive experience that feels like the future. What better way to add some adventure to your date night than discovering new worlds together? Places like Sandbox VR provide a futuristic VR experience for groups of up to 6 where you can see and physically interact with everyone inside, just like the real world.
Distillery Tours
If you and your boo share a love of spirits, then you should visit a distillery to see how it’s made. You get to tour the facilities and taste test the product. Most distilleries offer a cocktail as part of the tour, so you can cheers to more love when it’s over.
Terrarium Workshop
lant shops aren’t just for picking your new plant baby; they have become community-oriented spaces offering classes and workshops. Terrarium workshops are a fun way to build miniature gardens that can thrive in your home long after the date. You can engage in nature together while tapping into your creativity.
Arcade
A little healthy competition is a great way to keep the relationship fresh. Challenge each other to the best out of 10 at an arcade. The winner gets to choose their prize, perhaps, a nightcap in the bedroom.
Curate a list of the top five restaurants you haven’t visited yet, and make a day out of it. Stop by for drinks at one place, an appetizer at another, and finish the evening with dessert. You could also plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner at different spots and rate the foods together.
Horse Back Riding
Fall is one of the best seasons for horseback riding. You’ll find the most beautiful and scenic routes during this time of year. After riding on the trails, you can enjoy a picnic in the open air.
Hot Air Balloon
Have you ever watched the sunrise from 3,000 feet in the air? Hot air balloons provide incredible views and an adrenaline rush. It is the perfect way to celebrate a special moment or simply surprise your partner with a unique date.
Burlesque Show
If you are looking for a grown and sexy date night, look no further than a burlesque show. There may be dancing, music, and acrobatics. Between the performers and the intimate setting, you’re sure to enjoy the night.
Scavenger Hunt in the City
Explore your city through a curated scavenger hunt. You’ll answer trivia questions and solve challenges together. A quick Google search will help you locate a company that hosts the occasion.
Indoor Skydiving
Experience the thrill of flying without jumping out of a plane. This is perfect for adventurous couples and the more conservative ones who are risk-averse.
Sofar Sounds
If you’re a concert-loving couple, you may want to attend Sofar Sounds, a global music community that connects artists and audiences through live music. Shows take place in unexpected locations, with three unannounced artists, so each set is a surprise. It’s a great way to create memories and find new artists to add to your shared playlist.
Indoor Water Park
You don’t have to have kids to enjoy the musings of a water park. You can, however, tap into your inner child and enjoy the water slides and tubing. Indoor water parks make it possible to visit them all year long without worrying about the weather.
Take Public Transit Somewhere New
Ride the subway to the end of the line or take the bus to a new part of town for a memorable adventure. This date idea allows you to relinquish control to the universe and discover new things together. Word of advice: wear comfortable shoes.
Bath House
Book a couples bathhouse experience and soak away the stress. The combination of essential oils and warm water allows you to enjoy a self-care moment together. Book a massage before for maximum impact.
Take a Sewing Class
Sewing classes are really trendy nowadays. It’s an opportunity to show off your artistic skills and create custom pieces like a rug. You can learn a new skill and have fun while doing it.
