Let's face it, coming up with a date idea that's as fun and unique as your relationship can be just as hard as finding someone to date in the first place.
Here is a somewhat comprehensive list of our favorite cute date ideas to get you off the couch and into a fun bonding activity.
1. Try a new restaurant. If you've got your favorite spot's menu just about memorized, check out someplace new. Pretend you're restaurant critics and pick apart the food — not your partner, for a change.
2. Play tourist in your hometown. When was the last time you took advantage of the things everyone always wants to see when they visit? Probably the last time you had out-of-town guests, that's when. Take an afternoon or an evening and hit up your local landmarks or must-see attractions like you're seeing them with fresh eyes.
3. Make a fun new recipe. Even if you're not much of a cook, trying out a new dish can result in lots of laughs. Not to mention, you get to eat the results.
4. Go on a picnic. If it's nice outside, there's nothing more romantic than packing up some al fresco food and bev, spreading it on a blanket and enjoying the great outdoors. If the weather outside is frightful, move the party to your living room.
5. Take a hike. Something about exploring nature with your main squeeze really gets the heart going in other ways, if you know what we mean.
6. Hit the beach. Sun, sand, surf and lots of skin. Come up with a better afternoon. We dare you.
7. Go skiing. Not beach weather? Hit the slopes instead. If you don't get hot cocoa afterward, it didn't count.
8. Play a board game. Drag out the classics or try a brand new one, for a healthy dose of competition. Toss in a friendly wager to spice things up a little.
9. Throw a casino night. If they call you Lady Luck, see if your partner can roll snake eyes and win your heart. That, or play cards with that week's chore list on the line.
10. Build a campfire. Ignite the flames of passion in a Smoky-approved way by gathering around a campfire in your backyard. If your municipality doesn't allow fires, huddle by the fireplace instead or even make s'mores in the microwave.
11. Have a spa night. Hit up the drugstore for face masks, mani-pedi supplies and massage oil for a DIY pampering sesh that will improve your bond and your skin.
12. Take a day trip. Hop in your car and see where a tank of gas can get you. Even checking out the next town over can feel like an adventure, especially when you're doing it with your favorite person.
13. Go grocery shopping together. Need eggs and bread? Turn a boring chore into a fun couple activity. Split your list in half and race to see who can finish it first, or just wander the aisles hand-in-hand.
14. Learn a new skill. You don't need to invest in a lot of fancy equipment to try something new. Give origami, drawing or even card tricks a shot. You'll have a blast laughing over how bad you both are, at first.
15. Play hide 'n seek. It's not just for kids anymore.
