Not only is this a super fun date idea, it also helps bring out your partner’s competitive side. Whether you’re competing against each other or maybe even other groups, scavenger hunts offer endless options and depending on what you’re looking for, can be super romantic. You can make up your own list of things to look for, or find one curated for seeing the sights in your area, or even one with random items and the intention to tell a wild story. Regardless, photos with each find is a must and a great way to get the memories going.

Foraging

Foraging with your date can be a fun way to get to know what kind of useable plants and other materials are from your area. Like a scavenger hunt, foraging offers up the opportunity for being competitive with your finds, but it also gives space for quiet conversations in nature with someone you’re trying to get to know better. Who knows, finding herbs or mushrooms might lead into a cooking-dinner-with-what-you-found-date.

Urban Trail

While I’m lucky to live somewhere with an abundance of great hiking trails, I understand that not everyone can be so fortunate. However, lots of areas have urban trails, which often bring pedestrians through sights around your city or even just little pockets of nature tucked between all the concrete. Urban trails are another great way to be outside and walk and talk to your person without breaking the bank or leaving town.

Crafting Picnic

Everyone’s been on a picnic, not everyone can say they’ve used the fact that they’re outdoors so they can have a messy and fun craft time to its full potential. While food is certainly welcome to be involved, a crafting picnic has endless possibilities for messy fun and getting a glimpse at your partner’s creative side.

Skate Date

Whether either of you regularly skate or not, cruising through town together on some wheels can be freeing, fun, and still offers room for conversation. Although if it’s more like stumbling through town instead of cruising, that can be cute too! With a positive mindset, it can be fun learning something new together!

Cook For Each Other

Volunteer Together

There’s never not a need for volunteers in a community. If you and your partner are both passionate about something, why not fight for that cause together and make it fun enough to be a date? If you both care about environmentalism, trash pick-ups can be up-beat and fun. If you are both concerned about homelessness, packing meals together can be both exciting and beneficial for the community.
