Summer Date Ideas

Posted on 6/13/2016 by Destiny Girard, LMFT

Date nights (or days) are integral for all couples in maintaining emotional connection within the relationship. They don’t have to be anything particularly fancy (or expensive), but just have to be something that you both enjoy and that would allow you the ability to have quality time together.

Below is a list of great date night ideas that are perfect to do in the summer.

Miniature Golf

Getting ice cream or frozen yogurt

Hiking or long walks

Going to the beach or the mountains (or any place in nature that you enjoy)

Watching fireworks

Drive-in movie theaters

Picnics in a park

Visiting state parks

Spending time around a bonfire

Enjoying outdoor concerts

Attending state fairs

Visit your local farmer’s market

Attend open houses in your dream neighborhood (no one REALLY needs to know that house is out of your budget!)

Attend local carnivals and festivals

Engage in a sport that you both enjoy (kayak, canoe, fish, volleyball, etc)

Enjoy a picnic (and a wine tasting) at a local vineyard

Lay out under the stars and talk for hours
