Dear Members,
Now that the weather is warm, it is time to come out
of hibernation and get back into the dating world! The
summer is a great time to meet and get to know new people.
The nice weather opens many doors to fun and relatively
inexpensive dates. Here are 10 ideas to throw a spark
into your summer romance.
Fun Summer Date Ideas
1. Outdoor Picnic
There is nothing more romantic than an outdoor picnic
with someone you care about. Bring a blanket, a bottle
of wine and some food you can share together to the
park, lake, beach or even your own backyard to create
the perfect outdoor setting for your date.
2. Concerts and Festivals
Lots of bands go on tour during the summer and often
they perform outdoor shows. Either bring your date to
one of your favorite bands shows, find something you
both enjoy or try something completely new together.
3. Go to a Baseball Game
Baseball is an all American pastime and always a great
place to spend a lazy summer afternoon. Grab a hot dog
and a beer and relax in the sun.
4. Road Trip!
The summer is a perfect time to go exploring. Either
pick a local town you have never been to or just get
in the car and drive. It does not have to be a major
destination, sometimes it is fun to just explore towns
in your state you may have never been to before.
5. Play Sports
A little competition never hurt anyone! Play with either
just the two of you or with friends. Even better, join
a summer recreational league. This will give you the
opportunity to see each other every week and give you
a common interest.
6. Go on an Adventure
There are lots of fun adventurous things to do in the
summer. Go white water rafting, kayaking, mountain biking,
rock climbing or go for a hot air balloon ride.
7. The Great Outdoors
Going out into nature can be a great way to get to know
someone. Go hiking, fishing, or camping and spend some
time outside!
8. Amusement Park
Nothing brings out the kid in people like an amusement
park. Going on a roller coaster can still bring a thrill
even if you are not a teenager. Go on rides together
and let your date win you a stuffed animal at the games!
9. Hit the Beach
This is a perfect opportunity to show some skin and
relax in the sun. Pack a lunch and spend a nice day
at the beach.
10. Go to the Zoo
Zoos are a lot of fun, especially when it is warm out.
If you and your date are animal lovers, spend a day
checking out all the exhibits at your local zoo.
