Most guys are happy to let their girlfriends take the reins when it comes to planning a cute date. But it’s always nice to surprise your girlfriend with something different. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a regular date night, the key to having a great time with your girlfriend is coming up with fun and interesting activities. If you’re stuck for ideas and need some inspiration, here are some fun things to do with your girlfriend.
Outdoor Fun
-
Start off with a Picnic in the Park – Have a picnic in the park! Pack your girlfriend’s favourite foods and a chilled bottle of wine for a romantic day out in the sun. If your park has a stream or a waterfall, take the time to explore! Your girlfriend will appreciate the special effort you’ve put into organising the outing.
-
Go Hiking – From short strolls around your local park to long and peaceful walks in nature, hitting the trails is a great way to connect with your girlfriend. Check out trails in your area and plan your hiking route accordingly. Make sure you have snacks and drinks, as well as all the necessary supplies, like a first-aid kit, insect repellent, and any other supplies you might need.
-
Spend a Day at the Beach – Spend a perfect summer day together with a day at the beach. Don’t forget to take some sandwiches, snacks and drinks. Take a swim, sunbathe, build sandcastles, play games, collect shells or simply just relax in each other’s company.
-
Go Stargazing – Nothing is more romantic than snuggling up together and looking up at the stars. If you’re lucky enough to have a clear night sky in your area, go find a spot away from the city lights, lie down, and admire the stars.
Indoor Fun
-
Take a Cooking Class Together – Taking a cooking class together is great if you’re both foodies or have an interest in cooking. You’ll have a fun time learning new recipes and techniques together, plus you get to enjoy the delicious outcome when the class is over.
-
Go Bowling – This old-school classic is always a fun and inexpensive activity to do with your girlfriend. Bowling requires minimal effort but offers plenty of laughs!
-
Attend an Art Gallery or Museum – Whether it’s your first time visiting an art gallery or museum or you have been there before, it’s a great way to spend quality time with one another. Art galleries and museums usually have interactive activities and tours, which can be entertaining and educational.
-
Have a Game Night – Board games, card games, video games, you name it! Host a game night for the two of you in your home and spend the night having fun and challenging each other with your favourite games.
Adventures
-
Track Down Local Food Trucks – If you and your girlfriend are feeling adventurous, why not head out to the street and try some of the local food trucks. Many have vegan and vegetarian options, so try tasting some of the trends in your area.
-
Go to a Local Festival – There are usually plenty of local music, arts and food festivals in most towns. Being part of a festival is a great opportunity to learn about different cultures and music, as well as a chance for you and your girlfriend to try some new foods.
-
Take a Road Trip – Get out of town and go for a road trip! Spending a weekend (or even a few days) driving around and visiting different places can be really fun. Take turns picking the playlist and snack stops, and come up with a list of the things you want to do and the places you want to visit.
-
Try a New Sport Together – Trying something new together can be an exhilarating experience. If you’re both brave enough, why not take on a extreme sport like sky-diving or bungee-jumping? If not, try wake boarding or wind-surfing. Whatever you choose, you’ll have a lot of fun and create priceless memories.
Other Fun Ideas
-
Go to a Concert – Going to a live show is always a great way to have fun with your girlfriend. Whether it’s a rock, jazz, or classical concert, there’s sure to be something out there for the two of you.
-
Visit an Amusement Park – This one’s a no-brainer. Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned amusement park? Whether it’s rollercoasters or ferris wheels, your girlfriend will really appreciate that you took the time to do something special for her.
-
Take a Dance Class – Dancing is a great way to connect and bring the two of you closer together. Look for a beginner Salsa or Latin dance class and spend a night learning how to move on the dance floor.
-
Show Your Support at Local Events and Fundraising Events – Supporting a local cause or attending a fundraising event is a great way to help out in your community and have fun with your girlfriend at the same time. It’s also something that you can both be proud of!
