Autumn is here and it's not just the leaves swirling through the air. Autumn is the perfect time for a new romance, especially when the weather cools down and the trees and streets glow in rich, warm colors.
We have put together 8 wonderful autumn date ideas for you to help you make the most of this beautiful season and strengthen your relationship more than ever.
1. Go for a coffee
A coffee date is always a nice thing, but you can give it an autumnal touch by choosing a drink from this season to really enjoy the feeling of autumn. One of the best-known and most popular seasonal autumn drinks is the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (or PSL, as real fans call it), which combines fabulous flavors and spices such as pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.
Other autumn drinks that could take the coffee chat between you and your date to the next level include warm apple cider, chai tea or caramel latte. Each of these drinks is a wonderful way to get you and your companion in the mood for autumn
2. Apple picking
Another fantastic idea for an autumn date is to go apple picking with your loved one.
A ripe autumn apple, especially when it comes directly from organic cultivation, has it all. Afterwards, you have the opportunity to process your picked apples into a delicious meal.
You can process the fresh apples into a refreshing apple cider drink, or make delicious baked goods such as apple pie, apple roses and apple turnovers.
3. Visit a pumpkin patch together
This popular autumn activity is an absolute must for creating the perfect date with your partner. At a pumpkin patch, you can not only admire many bright orange and other crazy types of pumpkins. Many farms also offer a lot of culinary delights and interesting facts about pumpkins.
At the end of the day, you can decorate a pumpkin of your choice on site or at home to demonstrate your creativity in carving.
Sharing your respective creations (and how impressive or ugly they ended up looking) is a wonderful way to end the date with a shared moment that will be remembered for a long time.
4. Walk in a park/forest
There is hardly anything as invigorating and relaxing as a walk or run in autumnal weather. Consider a beautiful route through a nearby park/forest amidst the colorful autumn leaves to get your heart, mind, and lungs going in the fresh air.
5. Take a wellness trip together
One of the most underrated date ideas is a vacation. Even if it seems a little unglamorous and exciting at first glance, it is a refreshing and stress-free way to enjoy time together. Take the time to be pampered with massages and steam baths and relax together.
6. Visit an autumn festival
Some of the best fairs and festivals take place during the autumn season. Although the distance rules still have to be observed in times of Corona, why not organize a date in an autumnal atmosphere. From delicious snacks to numerous funfair attractions - there is something for everyone here.
7. Watch a scary movie
Surely your heart beats a little faster near the person you are dating. But if you want to play it safe, then watch a scary movie on your next autumn date. Nothing brings two people together as much as sheer terror, which gives both horror lovers and haters an unforgettable and bonding date experience.
One way to take this date idea to the next level in the autumn months is to move the movie watching to the great outdoors. Sure, that makes the whole situation a bit scarier, but the spookiness is just another feature of the autumn season that you should enjoy in a way, even if you're not a fan of scary things. If you get too scared, you can always cuddle up to your date and hope they protect you.
Whether you watch the film at home or in a drive-in cinema, a scary movie is definitely a date idea that gives you that certain thrill and brings you together in a different way.
8. Plan a weekend trip together
Leave the stressful working day and the demands of daily life behind and take a romantic weekend trip to a place that is not far from you and still lets you switch off. Rent a cabin together to enjoy autumn to the fullest and the autumnal rays of sunshine.
A vacation together in a cozy private cabin is not only good for your relationship, but can also have a positive effect on your mental health. A weekend trip is usually relatively easy to plan and is the perfect opportunity to escape from everyday life and instead focus on yourself and your loved one.
The eight date ideas mentioned above show ways to spend the autumn days with the person you love the most. Deepen your relationship and make each other happy by trying new things.
