50+ Fun Date Ideas for Couples and New Daters

Bored of dinner dates? Time to revive your dating life with these fun date ideas for couples (and even new daters).

Ok, so I will confess.

I love going out for dinner and drinks. But then my girlfriend and I just end up staring at our phones.

I mean, what’s the point of going out then? Shouldn’t couples engage and interact? Isn’t the point of going out to feel closer to one another and partake in activities together?

When I started looking for new date ideas that involved less talking and more adventure or activities that involved us actually doing something together it changed our relationship.

It galvanized our friendship and elevated us from “people who happen to be dating” to a couple. Fun date ideas add that spice to your dating life.

Interact.

Do something you’d never normally do.

Then even just the simplest couples date night ideas become memorable and draw you closer.

Sexy Date Night Ideas for Couples

Send Romantic Text Messages

Check out my popular post Romantic Texts vs Dirty Texts.

Send some sweet romantic text messages or flirty texts to one another from separate rooms or from opposite ends of an upscale bar.

Sext and Make Passionate Love After

On another blog that I run under the pseudonym Orlando, I write quite a bit about sending flirty texts (this is my all-time most popular post) and even dirty texts (check out the posts if you dare, get some free eBooks and videos). Both of these are written for women to send their men, but honestly most work for men to send women too.

You can also check out my post here to send sexy text messages. Or even sexy goodnight texts

Send them to each other from other rooms of the house, from opposite ends of the bar, or better yet, to each other from work.

Get super turned on, then make intense, orgasmic love after.

Sexy Role Play

Dress up in costume or just regular clothes.

One person flirts the other pretends to fall into the temptation.

Sexy at Home Role Play Idea Examples

• He pretends to be the sexy plumber
• You role-play the hot real estate agent
• Your man plays the role of an insurance claims assessor
• Pretend to be the domineering sexy female boss
• He can deliver pizzas to the house and you answer naked or in skimpy lingerie.
• Act as a “professional” masseuse

Find some fantasy and role-play that.
