Tonight, you’ll be trading appetisers for adventure.
“Hey, how’s your week going?”
“Yeah pretty good, itching for the weekend though! How about you?”

“Not bad, but same – the weekend can’t come soon enough. Wanna get dinner and drinks?”
“How about something fun instead?”
 
Hands up if you’ve ever felt personally victimised by your Bumble date’s, significant other’s, situationship’s, or “I really don’t know what the eff we are’s” inability to come up with a fun date idea?
 
Yeah, us too. We’ve all been there. Dinner and drinks? Yawn. 
 
How about a date where we skip the awkward dinner chat & the end-of-meal payment panic and go straight to the good part? 
 
Here are some of our favourite date night ideas for fun first dates, long-term relos looking for some spice, people on the brink of a break-up but could be saved with an epic date… or just a night out with your best pal.
 
  Beach date: Head to the beach (where bonfires are allowed, obvs) bring some blankets, and roast marshmallows under the night sky.
  Hilltop picnic: Find a well-lit hilltop overlooking the city. Pack a cute picnic, lay back, turn up the tunes and just enjoy the good vibes.
  Moonlight kayaking or paddleboarding: This one’s not necessarily for beginners (unless you join a tour), but it can be a super fun date idea. Just make sure you have safety gear on, and keep close to the shore.
  Outdoor silent disco: Join a silent disco event or create your own! Extra points if you’re brave enough to do it in a busy public space.
  Backyard glamping: Set up a tent, string some fairy lights, and create an outdoor cinema. It's just like camping, but the bathroom is nearby, and there's zero chance of a possum stealing your popcorn.
  Midnight drive: Flip a coin at each intersection and see where you end up. Discover new places or accidentally drive to another state (maybe not if it’s the first date though…)
  DIY drive-in movie: Find a secluded spot, park the car, and set up your laptop to watch a flick. Just make sure you’re not trespassing – you don’t want the plot twist to involve police knocking on your window.
  Outdoor Bowling: Set up your own outdoor bowling alley. Grab some water bottles (glow sticks inside make them extra fun), and a sturdy ball, and roll away. The only downside is there aren’t any bumpers for those who need them (no shame – we still need them!)

 

And that’s it! Just remember to live, laugh and love with safety in mind, and you’re well on your way to an epic date night you’ll both never forget.
 
Catch you on the flip side (and maybe even on Bumble 👀).
 
With love,
