Summer is a fantastic time to go on dates! The sun is out, everything is brighter and warmer, and the world just seems a happier, brighter, and more optimistic place! Take the opportunity to inject a little sunshine into your relationship by heading outdoors and enjoying some summer dates before autumn and winter draw near. Here are our Top 5 Summer Time Date Ideas.
Pop to the Park
No matter where you live, chances are there is a green, cricket field or park somewhere nearby. Even if you’re sure there isn’t, have a little search on Google you might find a beautiful little park hidden away around the corner. Pack a delicious picnic, some sun lotion, and a blanket, and settle down for a romantic few hours eating, talking, and laying in the sun.
Head to the Beach
Get in the car, blow up the beach ball, and head to the coast. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk on the trip, enjoy some time paddling in the sea, sunbathing, and spend some time in the local arcades. A change of scene can be a great way to freshen up your dates and exploring a new beach location together will be a fantastic bonding experience.
Take A Hike!
Whether you live in the city or countryside, a quick search on the internet will give you an idea of some great local walks and hikes nearby. This will allow you to spend time together, enjoying the sunshine, having a chat, and discovering new parts of your local area that you had no idea existed.
This is also a great thing to do if you are both looking to improve your fitness and keep active – keeping each other company on a long walk will probably be a lot more fun than a trip to a sweaty, stuffy gym!
Anyone for Tennis?
It’s not just for Wimbledon stars! Tennis is a cheap, fun, and easy-to-pick-up activity to start during the summer months. You will usually be able to find a tennis court or two available in your local park and learning a sport together can be great fun!
Just make sure to keep things friendly, if you are both ultra-competitive, what started out as a fun activity could end up resulting in an epic upset! Once you’ve tired yourself out, head to a local café for drinks and recovery!
Watch an Open Air Movie
During the summer, many large attractions and venues set up outside movie screenings. Take advantage and enjoy a romantic evening snuggled under a blanket and watching a cinematic classic in the evening air. You can pack yourself lots of snacks, bring some cushions and settle down together in a beautiful, picturesque location. Just make sure to keep the movie choices appropriate – few people feel romantic while watching Rambo!
No matter what you do and where you go, make sure to make the effort to head outside and build some memories together in the sunshine.
