Fall is finally here and that means the weather is getting cooler and more people are going out. If you just so happen to be going on a date/s this season, you might want to plan ahead and do something fun. Instead of doing the typical dinner and movie date, there are so many fun things to do in the Fall.
Choosing something outdoors allows you to stay cool because of the nice weather and choosing something indoors will allow you to have a lot of fun and not worry about the weather.
If you love Autumn, but don’t love the scary/Halloween aspect of it, here are 5 non-spooky date ideas you can try right now. Just don’t forget to capture all for Instagram and have cute Fall pictures.
Pumpkin Patch / Hayride
If you pick the right pumpkin patch, there is so much more to do there than just picking out pumpkins. You could carve it into a Jack O’ Lantern or paint the pumpkin, which would create for some cute bonding time, go through a corn maze, or ride on a hayride. While you’re there, you might as well get some Fall-centric food and drinks Sometimes pumpkin patches also include live animals and fun fall games and activities. Take advantage of whatever is there and have fun. Dress cute, but also sensible. Like don’t wear heels in a corn maze.
Apple Picking
You might not think picking apples from a tree sounds like a lot of fun, but it can actually be a fun bonding experience. You could find out a lot about your date doing that. Late September through October is the best time to get fresh apples, so start planning now. It is a great way to show your date that you are up for anything and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty. Again, dress cute, but sensible, don’t wear a nice shirt if you are going to pick apples. Then, when you are done, you could bake an apple pie, make cider, apple cider donuts or caramel apples together to continue the fun.
Renaissance Faire
A Renaissance Faire is an outdoor festival which recreates that historical setting for its guests. So grab your best historical gear and head to the Renaissance Faire, if you’re into that sort of thing. There’s stuff to do for everyone like trying new foods, jousting, Oktoberfest, shows, shopping and more! This is a really fun and creative idea that will be remembered for a long time. You will definitely have to step it up for the next date.
Fall Beer Festival / Pub Crawl
Beer and wine festivals are very popular in the fall because craft beer season peaks in the Fall. This could even be a fun double or triple date idea. Seasonal drinks are also very in during the season and would be fun to try with your date. Whether it’s a festival or a bar crawl, if you enjoy drinking, be sure to hit one of these up. And if it’s close to Halloween, dress up and have lots of fun, but be responsible.
Football Game
Fall time means football season. If you are both into football, this could be a really fun date. You could cuddle under a blanket together and cheer on your favorite team. Whether it’s college or professional and you watch it in the stadium, a bar, or at home, it will be a thrill to watch and you could even make some fun tailgating recipes, related to fall or not. So, get your gear on and watch the game. This might not be a good idea for a first date, as this sets the expectation very high, but nonetheless, it’s fun.
