Extended Date Ideas You Can Try

You have that special date going on and you just do not want to end the day. There are many extended date ideas that you can do and they don’t need to be expensive. Some of the ideas below do not need extra money for you to have extra fun.

Extend your dates and you are sure to get the best out of your day or night without burning your pocket. Here are some great extended date ideas…

Movie marathon

You just went out on a movie date and you want to watch more movies. Instead of buying more tickets and spend more money, why not go home and stack up DVD’s along with some popcorn and have a movie marathon.

Sweet love stories or romantic comedies are some of the best ones to watch with a date. Plus bringing your date home means that you’re on the “I am comfortable with you” level.

Have coffee or dessert

Having a coffee or going to a different restaurant for dessert is a great extended date idea. After having the real date, you can just go out and unwind with a cup of coffee or end the night on a “sweet” note. This way, you have a more casual setting and the ambiance is just great to have the usual small talk.

Take your date to a party

If you are thinking of an extended date, you can ask your date to come with you to your cousin’s birthday or a get together with your friends. Take your date to a party and she is sure to enjoy the company. Plus, this extended date idea is something out of the ordinary because she’ll get to talk to people who know you even better than she does.

Quiet time all alone

You can spend some quiet time alone. Take a walk in a nearby park and just talk about anything. You can do some star gazing at night and point out what you see in the stars – whether it’s the Big Dipper, Orion or just some odd little man smoking a pipe.

Art date

If your date is the artsy type, you might want to walk her down to the art gallery after dinner. Here, you can listen as she talks about her passion.

If your date is fond of architecture you can go visit an old museum or ancient church nearby that shows off impressive architectural designs.

Play sports, in person or at an arcade

If you went out for brunch or on a lunch date and you still have time for some action, you can go together and take a gym class or play your favorite sports together.

You can have a good game of basketball or volleyball. You can also go bowling or play golf, or whatever sports you want to play, whether in real life or on a video screen!

10 Day Date Ideas

People love going out on day dates simply because there is no pressure whatsoever when the sun is still up. A day date is a fun alternative to a romantic, candle-lit dinner that can get most people nervous.

So if you prefer to do this type of date, here are 10 day date ideas you can try:

1. Get high!

Go to the highest point in your area- whether a mountain or a high building. Go there and have a simple picnic. The breathtaking view from above will give you that extra romantic kick you need.

2. Get pampered

If you want a relaxing day with your special someone, you can get a couple’s massage at a nearby spa or saloon. You can also get a facial or manicure. Getting pampered has never been as sweet as this way!

3. Be adventurous

Want to have a day adventure? You can do some stuff together that you haven’t done before. Why not have a hot air balloon ride or do some horseback riding? You can also check out all the wild rides in your nearby amusement park.

4. Back to traditions

You can have a good, old, traditional picnic in a nice park near your place. Don’t forget to bring the wine, fluffy pillows and lots of great tasting food! Make it extra special by cooking (or ordering) your partner’s favorite meal.

5. Learn together

Most couples want to grow together. You can do just that by taking a lesson together. Whether you want to learn how to cook or paint, having someone around you care about can make learning a lot of fun.

6. Dine in luxury

Do you ever want to go in that luxurious restaurant but never have the money for it? Now is the time to splurge! But here’s the twist- split the bill! This makes the date extra unique and fun!

7. Enjoy a quiet time together

Anybody can enjoy a moment of serenity and away from the usual hustle and bustle of the city. You can take a boat ride on a nearby lake or rent a paddle boat. Be creative and make a mini cruise out of your date.

8. Breakfast in Bed

Breakfast in bed is always romantic. Wake up your loved one with a special meal cooked with all your heart and hard work. You can get even more romantic by buying flowers to decorate your breakfast tray and add a quick note of I Love You in a card.

9. Watch movies together

You can either go to a movie theater and watch a new movie or you can stack up some DVDs at home and have a movie marathon of old movies you love with your special someone. Add some great popcorn and you are sure to have a hit!

10. Do something good

Do something good – this time not for yourself but for others. For instance, you can go together and visit a home for the elderly. This can say a lot about your growing relationship. You can also volunteer together on a rescue or medical mission or give whatever help you can give to your local community service.
