Enjoying an evening out with your significant other is always something worth making time for. However, fancy meals out time after time can get a bit stale when it comes to the way you choose to spend your evenings out. If you are stuck in a routine of going on these types of dates, you might be wondering how you can break the cycle and shake things up.

 

Sometimes the best way to break free from the routine of boring dates is to opt for a simpler approach to the evening. You don’t have to go all-out every time with the fanciest, priciest restaurant that you can find in order to have a lovely time with the special person in your life.

 

The key to coming up with the right plan for a date night is to consider options that will allow you to enjoy one another’s company and give you the chance to get to know more about the other person. Simple date night ideas are some of the best choices when it comes to accomplishing both goals.

 

With that in mind, here are four fun and simple date night ideas for you to consider for your next night out with the special person in your life.

 

1. Try a New Cuisine 

When most people think of a date night, the first thing they want to figure out is the choice of meal for the evening. While there are some standard date night go-to options like a steakhouse or Italian food that you have enjoyed in the past, such options can become redundant.

 

Instead of going with the same sort of thing once again, consider trying a brand new cuisine together for your next date night. Whether you try out some traditional American-style burgers at Annies Burger Shack, Derby based, or if you are finally ready to give sushi a try, enjoying a new type of food together can be a fun and simple way to mix up date night. 

 

2. Go for a Hike

If it is the right time of year and the weather and light will allow it, why not take date night to the great outdoors and go on a short, scenic hike? You could pack a picnic and time things just right so that you can catch a romantic sunset together. If the area in which you live is ideal for stargazing, you can extend the evening into the night and try to spot your favourite constellations.

 

3. Take a Cooking Class

One great way to mix things up for date night dinner is to take a cooking class together and make it yourself. This is a fun, interactive way of learning a new skill and sharing a new experience. 

 

Don’t be shy about taking a cooking class if you don’t really consider yourself to be great in the kitchen. There are classes designed for people of all skill levels to come and have a fun night out trying something new.

 

4. Camp out under the stars

What could be more romantic than a nighttime picnic under the stars with your other half? Light up a bonfire, grab some marshmallows and a blanket, and cosy up together as you take in the wonders of the night sky. To extend the date, put up a tent and spend the night together camping.
