Anniversary Week - 50 Date Ideas

Happy Monday! As you can see from the total  this week is going to be Anniversary week on the blog, because ours falls in the middle of the week and I have a few relationships/marriage etc themed posts that I've been excited about posting for a while! I have tips and ideas, a yummy recipe, pictures that I've never had on the blog before, and a few appearances from the Mr. which is rare indeed! 
For my post today I'm actually going to be answering a question that I've received several times from readers and its about what we do for dates or can we share date ideas! So here are 50 date Ideas just off the top of my head. Some are seasonal, some are favorites, and some are ones we've never tried but want too, at any rate I hope they get you excited to go out on your next date with your someone special!

I hope you've thought of a few new things to do for date night! I know that we fall into funks a lot of the time and we're going to the movies every single time we get a date, which isn't bad, but its sure nice to switch things up a bit, and I always learn new things about Martin, and myself. 
Anyways, leave any ideas you may have in the comments for me and the rest of us as well! We're always on the lookout for more ideas:)
Have a great week ahead everyone, and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

  10. Great ideas, I'm blessed that my husband and I work together so we are together 24/7. But we are together 24/7...so we can fall into a funk and routine much easier (I think) than other couples. I'm going to put some of your suggestions into action to avoid that funk.

    Happy Anniversary :)

  14. Great… I also followed one of the listed ideas recently while dating a Persian girl. We both attended a poetry reading and it was so romantic for both of us. I found me girl online at https://www.goiranian.com/users/signup and she appeared to be the best ever partner for me. I had great experience in poetry reading where we both found new ways to express the feelings through words.

  15. I haven't tried online dating games but yes dinner with someone you don't know can get upsetting from the second you sit down, outstanding post liked learning it.

  18. Amazing list.On one of our first dates,my guy and I challenged one another to a "triathlon" of activities we both preferred.We chose to contend in Foosball,Pac-man, and pizza-eating.We were laughing the entire time, and now,some piece of the fun of "triathloning" is thinking of three "events" we can contend in.We've done ice skating,Connect Four, and M&M-eating and some other time,we did swimming,jumping, and onion ring eating.Thank you.
