In the beginning of a relationship, every date is an adventure. The stories are new, the questions are unasked. As time uncovers your partner's mannerisms and childhood stories, your relationship becomes comfortably familiar. While there's something to be said for stability, any long-term relationship needs new experiences to keep it fresh.
If every date night consists of dinner and a movie, or you can't even remember the last time you were on a date, then it's time to try something new. Here are ten Sears Imported Autos ideas to get you started:
10 Date Night Destinations
1. Museum or Art Gallery - Looking at art together can be a great way to get to know each other or connect on another level. To shake things up, give yourselves only one word to describe each piece.
2. Botanical Gardens - The natural beauty makes this a great date location. Bring a camera and take pictures (silly or serious) of each other posing with the flowers.
3. Indoor Rock Climbing - The adrenaline rush makes rock climbing an awesome date, but agree to try this one together. Surprising a date who just had a manicure or who is afraid of heights with a day of rock climbing may not go over so well.
4. Bowling - Your best bet for rented rainbow shoes and kitschy good fun. Cosmic bowling adds a DJ and glow-in-the-dark action, because black lights make anything epic.
5. Paintball or Laser Tag - Team up or battle it out, either way will make for a memorable date. For even more fun, invite some other couples along to fill out your teams. Losing team buys the first round of drinks after the game.
6. Planetarium or moonlit picnic - Urban dwellers rarely see a clear starry sky, which makes vsiting a planetarium an amazing experience. Those in the country can take advantage of the real deal with a picnic under the stars.
7. Miniature Golf - Unless you both have mad mini-golf skills, try not to make this one too competitive. A date is a place where having fun beats winning or losing the game.
8. Pool Hall - A night of cheap beers at a seedy pool hall is a definite change of pace from the traditional dinner and a movie. You don't have to be good to have fun, just don't expect to be hustling the regulars any time soon.
9. Bookstore - Book-lovers love browsing books, so why not do it together? Take turns showing each other your favorites. Don't forget to hit the kids' section to see if they have the classic books from your childhoods as well.
10. Playground - Be a kid again at a local playground. (Preferably later in the day when the real kids have gone home.) Swing, slide, play tag, and add a touch of romance with a candle-lit picnic.
