If you’ve been dating for quite a while, you may find yourself at a loss when the weekends roll around. You’ve been to all the local restaurants, seen every movie there is to see and ploughed through every show Netflix and Amazon have ever created. So now what?
To keep your relationship fresh, it is important to try new things, break your routine and enjoy new experiences together. So, for some new ideas of places to go, things to do, and things to see – check out our Top 5 Unusual Date Ideas.
Take A Class Together
Everyone has a hobby they have always wanted to try out but never really got around to. Whether you’ve always wanted to learn how to cook, create pottery or make your own furniture – your local night school or college will be offering a whole host of classes you could sign up for together.
Spending one night a week together learning a new skill will be a great bonding experience, give you a brand new subject to talk about, and might introduce you both to some new friends as well!
Go on Street Food Tour
The most delicious foods aren’t only found in fancy restaurants. If you live in a city chances are there are some fantastic food stalls and cafes nearby which offer the most delicious, exotic, and interesting foodie experiences you’ve ever had.
Make a plan to spend an afternoon hunting out new foodie spots, sampling the delicacies on offer, and rating your favourites. You may even get some ideas for some dishes to try on a cooking date in the future!
Visit an Odd Local Attraction
Almost every corner of the UK boasts new bizarre and odd attractions which be surprisingly fun places to visit! Head for a local model village display, the nearest pencil museum, or a museum of curiosities.
Leave your cynicism at the door and spend some time together enjoying the best in British eccentricity! You are bound to come across some exhibits which are bizarrely interesting, hilarious, or just downright confusing!
Have a Painting Competition
Make your next date an artistic affair by investing in some paints and having your very own painting competition. Maybe you could paint each other’s portrait, your beloved pet, or a nearby beauty spot?
You will be able to enjoy each other’s companionship, provide encouraging ideas and perhaps discover that you have a new talent! Just make sure not to be offended if your portrait is more of a muddy blob than anything resembling a human!
Go Volunteering Together
Giving back to your community is always a great way to spend your spare time and can be a wonderful way for couples to spend some hours together. You will feel great knowing you are helping out with a local cause and be able to draw together during the shared experience. There are plenty of local volunteering opportunities available, no matter where you are. Just input a search in google and check out which experiences are most fitted to you and your partner.
