Fall 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 to cooler temperatures and the trees and streets glow in rich, warm colors.
We've put together 8 wonderful fall date ideas 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 twist by opting for a drink from this season to really savor the feeling of fall. One of the most well-known and popular seasonal fall drinks is the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (or PSL, as true fans call it), which combines fabulous flavors and spices like pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.
Other fall drinks that could take the coffee chat between you and your date to the next level are a warm apple cider, chai tea or caramel latte. Each of these drinks is a wonderful way to get you and your date in the mood for fall
2. pick apples
Another fantastic idea for a fall date is to go apple picking with your loved one.
A ripe autumn apple, especially if it is organically grown, has a lot to offer. You then have the opportunity to process your picked apples into a delicious meal.
You can turn the fresh apples into a refreshing cider drink or make delicious baked goods such as apple pie, apple roses and apple pies.
3. visit a pumpkin farm together
This popular fall activity is an absolute must for creating the perfect date with your partner. At a pumpkin farm, you can not only admire lots of bright orange and other crazy pumpkin varieties. Many farms also offer lots 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 show off your creative carving skills.
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 live long in the memory.
4. walk in a park/forest
There are few things that can be as invigorating and relaxing as a walk or run in the fall weather. Think about a nice 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 short wellness trip together
One of the most underrated date ideas is a vacation. Although it may not seem glamorous or exciting at first glance, it's a refreshing and stress-free way to enjoy time together. Take the time to indulge in massages and steam baths and really unwind together.
6. visit a fall festival
Some of the best fairs and festivals take place during the fall season. Although social distancing rules still have to be observed in times of Corona, why not organize a date in an autumnal atmosphere. From tasty snacks to numerous funfair attractions - there's something for everyone here.
7. watch a scary movie
Your heart is sure to beat a little faster around the person you're dating. But if you want to play it safe, then watch a scary movie on your next autumn date. Nothing brings two people together like sheer terror, giving both horror lovers and haters an unforgettable and bonding date experience.
One way to take this date idea to the next level during the fall months is to take your movie watching outdoors. Sure, it makes the whole situation a little creepier, but creepiness is just another feature of the fall season that you should enjoy to some extent, even if you're not a fan of scary things. If you get too creeped out, you can always snuggle up to your date and hope they'll keep you safe.
Whether you watch the movie at home or at a drive-in, a scary movie is definitely a date idea that will give you that certain thrill and bond you in a different way.
8. plan a weekend trip together
Leave the stressful working day and the demands of everyday life behind you and take a romantic weekend getaway to a place that is not far away from you and still lets you switch off. Rent a cabin together to enjoy the fall to the fullest and the autumn 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 getaway is usually relatively easy to plan and is the perfect opportunity to escape the daily grind and focus on yourself and your loved one instead.
The eight date ideas above show ways to spend the fall days with the person you love the most. Deepen your relationship and make each other happy by trying new things.
