25 Date Night Ideas

One thing I know, we, as men, need to take our significant other out more often… alone. I realized after Staci and I separated, and later reconciled many years ago, we needed “us time”. There is something about the one-on-one time that builds your relationship and can really sweep her off her feet (if done right).

No one looks back on their life and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep. – Anonymous

So, Gentlemen, I challenge you to challenge yourself. Take your lady out for a date night. I promise that if you plan and execute a exciting, energetic, and eccentric evening, it will pay off. Let me place a few ideas in your head to start you off. Then it is up to you to plan THE date night of all date nights.

Date Night Ideas

25 Date Night Ideas

  • Spend a night Stargazing
  • Watch and cheer at a local sporting event
  • Go out for coffee and talk
  • Visit model homes in the area and compare ideas
  • Go retro and go roller skating
  • Catch a dollar movie and split a popcorn
  • Bury a time capsule together
  • Volunteer together at a local food bank, shelter, etc
  • After the kids go to bed, take a bubble bath together
  • Take a drive down memory lane

  • Have a pillow fight
  • Take stroll through the botanical gardens
  • Catch up on a TV series together
  • Play Frisbee golf together
  • Have an in-home spa night and pamper each other
  • Attend an amateur comedy show
  • Packa  basket and have a picnic
  • Go geocaching
  • Watch a sunset together

What is your favorite date night idea? When was the last time you went out on a date?

I would enjoy hearing your ideas for the next time I need one in a pinch. Plus, it keeps our relationship exciting when we can add new activities to our list.

    You gave a lot of great and fun ideas. I will have to try some of them. We have season tickets for our soccer team so that is always a fun date night. I would like to buy a pair of bikes and go riding along the beach for a day date!

    Those are really great ideas, some are actually pretty funny, lol. What Hubby and I love to do on Date Night is go down to Joe Louis Arena and cheer on our Detroit Red Wings. There’s nothing like a live Hockey game especially if your both seriously into it as my Husband and I are. I can’t wait for Hockey season to begin. Hmmm… I wonder what Hubby would do ifI just busted out with a pillow fight, lmbo, he’d probably think I was nuts, but I bet he’d join in a kick my butt!!! LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for the article. Some really good ideas. I’ll be forwarding your link to my husband… A “subtle” hint, don’t you think?? 😉

    What good ideas! People make fun of us but some of our favorite date nights involve having a quick dinner and going to a high school wrestling match. My husband is a coach so we get to scout out other teams while we’re spending time with each other.

I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
