16 Date Ideas For Couples Who Are Bored Of The Same Old Date Night

There is one thing that every couple wants – to spend quality time and make memories with their significant other. There are a lot of reasons why most couples don’t get to go on as many dates as they would like to. Time is one that people don’t have a lot of now days, in between juggling work, children and running a household you often forget to make time for each other. Another problem is simply not knowing what to do together! After being in a relationship for a significant amount of time t can seem like you’ve been on the same date ea million time. So I decided to try and help you out, here I have put together a list of date ideas to get you out of your date night rut.

1. Cook Together

This is one a lot of couples don’t think of, usually one person in the household takes over cooking duties. Cooking together can be so much fun, you not only get to spend that quality time together but you can also save a ton of money by cooking at home rather than splashing out on a swanky restaurant.

2. Go on a museum date

There’s something about walking around a museum with your loved one that just feels so intimate. There’s so much to look at and so many interesting things to learn. It also opens the door to conversations you would never normally have.

3. Go to a bar together

This one could get expensive depending on your alcohol tolerance, but going to a bar together is the ideal way to let your hair down. Most bars have live performances and this is a great way for you to make new friends to double date with. So let yourself go, dance until you pass out, get gloriously drunk and stumble your way home with a greasy kebab and enjoy the hangover in the morning.

Got an old board game sat in the corner gathering dust? Put it to use on your next date night and get competitive!
