If you’re single and dating, you know that date nights can be tough. Finding ideas for date nights is not always easy and is often the last thing on someone else’s mind. However, if you’re a good sport about it, you should be able to come up with some ideas.

Take this entire list and create your very own unique date night. You don’t have to follow everyone’s ideas but rather, create your own that will suit your tastes. There are just too many date ideas out there to last you forever, so have some fun and put your own twist on it!

Go to the movies

There are always good old fashion movies that are guaranteed to get you all excited about the prospect of dinner. A lot of movies in the past that have been used as date night ideas have been comedies. The Breakfast Club, Saturday Night Fever, Pretty Woman are all great examples. You can watch these comedies over again to get the laughs you need. After dinner, maybe you could go see a comedy show or go see the latest movie, whatever floats your boat!

Go see a trivia show

Another excellent way to get some ideas for date nights is to go see a trivia show. There are tons of these available now and they are a lot of fun. After dinner, while you’re waiting for the food to be brought out, ask your guests to take turns being the trivia master. It’s a great way for you all to have a little fun together before dinner.

For some old photos that make you smile, you might want to bring a few rolls of film to the dinner table. Have each person take a picture with their favorite person from their own group of friends. You can then make a slideshow of the pictures to share with your friends. This is one of the best date ideas because it ties in with the romantic dinner.

Attend a cooking class

Going to a cooking class is another one of the many date night ideas that have long been a hit. Cook yourself a meal and then spend some time in a quiet room getting to know each other. You can use this time together to talk about what your next steps will be in your relationship. It’s also a great idea to take some driving range time and practice cooking with your date. You may both surprise her with some of your dishes and end up making the menu for your cooking class!

Go to a music club

Going to a music club is a fun idea for any couple looking to create some new and exciting date night ideas. The more unusual you are, the better the chances are that you will have an amazing time together. Going out to eat or dancing to a live band is both something new and exciting, while being secluded in your home gives you the chance to relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Visit an amusement park

Most people who are new to single often find themselves turning to amusement parks as one of their favorite date night ideas. Not only is it a fun place to go alone, but it can also be a lot of fun to go with friends or a special someone on an outing. Amusement parks have a ton of different rides that couples can choose from. There are often several different rides for couples to share and enjoy together.

Go on a picnic

Another of the great date night ideas is to go on a picnic. Picnics don’t necessarily need to be just for one day. In fact, couples can even go for multiple days if they wanted to. A picnic at a local park, either a picnic lunch or an afternoon snack, is easy and quick to pull off. With a nice day of fresh air and sunshine, a picnic can really rejuvenate and recharge you both.
