I don’t think anyone could have foreseen that come August we would still be in a situation where going places is scary. Andrew and I are not super comfortable going to many places so we have certainly had to get creative when we want to have a date. I think everyone has a different comfort level about this and I want to preface by saying YOU DO YOU! No judgment whatever way you choose to do things right now. I want to share some social distancing date ideas for people like us who may be a little nervous about going to many places.

7 Social Distancing Date Ideas

• Romantic walk around the lake: This is something we also love doing as a family but so much better when you and your partner can go walk around a lake. Even if you don’t have a lake nearby walking on a trail, at a park, or even in your neighborhood is so great and a wonderful time to just talk.
• Picnic:  Pack up a lunch (or pick up one from your favorite restaurant) and find a grassy area at a park or by the water and just have a fun little picnic! You can bring wine too – I won’t tell 🙂
• Bike ride: Before Andrew and I had kids we had a very short-lived bike ride phase. We still have our bikes and I can’t wait for us to ride them again. But a bike ride would be a super fun date plus you are being active!
• Cooking at home: We cook most of our meals at home but cooking together can be such a romantic time. You can put on good music, enjoy a drink while you cook and then enjoy your meal together!
• Patio date night: Enjoy that meal above on your patio/deck/balcony etc. String up some lights, put on some music, pretend you are dining on a restaurant patio or on a vacation! You could even get super dressed up!
• Drive in movie: We have a drive in theater about an hour away and I really want to go some time. I think this is a great option to see a movie because obviously, you are staying in your own car!
• Good old fashioned driving around: Do you remember when you were in high school and driving around was fun? Go do that! Listen to some of your favorite throw back songs, and goof around! Tell me you don’t have the best time!
