Thanks for trying out my Date Idea Generator! This can be for a first or second date, or for a couple years into a long-term relationship or marriage.
When I was dating more frequently, I had a hard time coming up with fun, cheap date ideas, and it was even harder when I was in a relationship to come up with fresh ideas. The result is this generator, and I wanted to share it with anyone in the same situation. I hope it will help you find something fun to do when you just can't come up with any ideas.
A few notes and FAQs:
- The items under "include" just add those categories of date ideas into the pool of options. The items under "limit to" restrict it to ONLY those type.
- "Go Out" indicates both the option of getting out of the house as well as options that take place physically outside.
- "Adult/Intimate Ideas" includes sexually explicit ideas. Recommended mostly for those already in a relationship looking for a romantic date night idea.
- Feel free to mix and match date ideas. Find a few you like and combine them for a full date night.
- Many activities can be done either inside or outside. I chose to label most of the nonspecific ideas as indoor activities, but do whatever works for you.
- Some ideas that are listed as free may require some expense. Date activities like 'make cookies at home' could require a shopping trip for some people, but not for others. Generally, these date ideas will be cheap or free. Don't be afraid to check out the "some cost" option - most of these will still be relatively inexpensive. These ideas are meant for everyday people looking for realistic, achievable, and fun date ideas.
- "First date only" is still a broad category, it mostly removes date ideas that are more private, intimate, or require a higher level of comfort with your partner.
- "Quaratine Safe" is an option as this was built during COVID-19. As everyone's safety preferences differ, these may be more or less restrictive than what you're looking for. However, if you're in a long-distance relationship, you may find using this option helpful. Keep in mind that some may not explicitely indicate physical distance or not. For example, "take turns sharing your favorite YouTube videos" can be done in person, but could also be done on a web call from different parts of the world.
- Have fun, and thanks for trying it out!
