I make no secret of the fact that I am a serial dater. I’ve been on the dating scene for a whopping four years now, and I still find meeting someone new, doing something fun, and trying something different a whole lot of fun, even if my date is not destined to be my future husband. (Speaking of which, where on earth are you?!)
And so, on my quest to find a love interest, I have been on a variety of fun and entertaining dates that are sure to impress a date, whether you’ve met them at home, on a Fife dating site, or maybe even further afield overseas. And I’ve compiled a few of them for you to try for yourself. One for every letter of the alphabet, in fact…
- A – Axe Throwing. A new activity that I have tried this summer is axe throwing! Channel your inner warrior and take your date out for a day of throwing axes… no accidents though, please!
- B – Bicycle rides. Opt for a date on wheels instead of your feet and enjoy a breezy bicycle ride in lush surrounding with your lover.
- C – Cook together. Work together with your date to whip up a tasty dish, or maybe even get competitive and see who can make it best!
- D – Dance the night away. Whether in a nightclub, at a class, or in the comfort of your own home, a dance date is sure to bring a smile to your face.
- E – Escape Rooms. Work together to solve puzzles and clues in a bid to escape. Sixty minutes locked in a room with your date… sounds fun, right?
- F – Fruit picking. Catch a day with nice weather and grab your basket for an afternoon of fruit picking. Strawberries are my favourite!
- G – Games night. Get two controllers ready and stay home for a night of gaming. The only question is: co-op or head-to-head?
- H – Hiking. Get your blood pumping on a hiking date with your love interest. Endorphins, a chance to chat, and beautiful surroundings – what’s not to love?
- I – IKEA. C’mon. Who doesn’t love a trip around IKEA?
- J – Jigsaw puzzles. Spend a cosy night in together puzzling!
- K – Kickboxing. Maybe I’m biased, but kickboxing is so much fun – why no get competitive and learn this new skill together?
- L – Live music. Seeing live music will always be one of my favourite things to do, whether it’s an intimate gig at a pub, or a huge concert.
- M – Mini golf. Get competitive with your date and fight for the most hole-in-ones!
- N – Netflix and chill. And yes. I do mean that Netflix and chill. Enjoy. 😉
- O – Old school phone call. Pick up the phone and embrace the nostalgia of an old school chinwag on the phone.
- P – Pub. Whether Fife dating or Yorkshire dating, a good ol’ fashioned pub date never fails. Get to know each other over a nice cold pint… and maybe even a cheeky jagerbomb.
- Q – Quilt day. AKA a duvet day. Do nothing but spend the day in bed with snacks and films.
- R – Rock climbing. A fun way to be active with your date… plus you might get to see some nice angles of them, eh?!
- S – Stargazing. Find a nice open spot and simply cuddle and star gaze. How romantic?
- T – Travel together. Wherever you fancy – down the road, another city, a totally different country – just travel!
- U – Urban art hunting. Go for a walk together and see what cool street art you can find!
- V – Vintage shops. Visit the vintage and charity shops in your area and see what gems you can stumble across together. Lucky me has plenty of these in Hull!
- W – Wine tasting. Go wine tasting and get tipsy together.
- X – Xscape. If you’re close to an Xscape centre like me, it’s perfect for an activity filled day of dating – snowboarding, cinemas, trampoline parks and more, not to mention all the food and drink you could need!
- Y – Yes day. Spend a day saying yes to anything and everything. Trust me… this one will get interesting! And perhaps kinky, who knows?!
- Z – Zoo. Get in touch with your wild side!
There you have it! 26 fun date ideas, one for each letter of the alphabet. Which is your favourite?
