Some Summer Date Ideas

As the summer rolls along with longer days and weather that’s not sub-zero, your dating possibilities open up. No need to hide away in a dark bar (unless that’s your preferred wooing spot, of course), the outdoors is now your oyster.

But today, this post is all about summer date ideas, al fresco style! So, let your summer romance blossom with this list of six ideas for summer lovin’ activities.
Go for a picnic
Although this requires a bit more thought and preparation than your usual dinner date, the outcome is much more memorable. Picnics can be as romantic or as casual as you’d like them to be, which means you can be in control. It’s a great opportunity to wow your date with your home cooking, or take them to a favourite park or viewpoint.
Visit an outdoor cinema
A twist on a classic date idea. Take your love interest to see a movie, but don’t worry about missing the last rays of sun in a dark theatre. Outdoor cinemas have become a summer staple over the past few years, with screens on rooftops taking over most of London. Beyond the big smoke, you’ll find more pop-up cinemas at various locations across the US.
Do a trip to the coast
The US is surrounded by sea, so why not make the most of it? If you live near the coast, then a walk along the beach is a great way to get some one-on-one time with your date. And if you live a bit further away, take a train for a special a day trip. There are loads of seaside towns that are perfect for a day out.
Visit a stately home
Indulge your secret love of Downton Abbey. OK, maybe it’s not a secret. But even if your date claims they don’t watch the series, US many National Trust properties are well worth a visit. Most of them have a busy calendar of summer events, so if your date is interested in history, architecture or being in a beautiful setting, they’re sure to be impressed.
Play a round of golf
This may not seem like the most obvious of dates, but hear us out. There are classes for beginners, you get to spend lots of time outside and there’s some mild competition to keep things entertaining. Plus, you get the opportunity to sneakily put your arms around your date when giving them putting tips.

Get active
If you’re a bit more of an adventurous duo, try a wild activity to get the heart really racing. There are opportunities for wild swimming, kayaking and cycling all over Britain for those who like a challenge. Or, if you’d rather soak up the scenery with a gentler activity, try hiking – or going for a walk with a pub at the end.
