30 date ideas and romantic scenarios to script into your dr
In honor of it being Valentine’s Day, this newsletter is going to give you 50 things to script into your DR — Romance Edition! Without further ado…let’s get started!
Arcade Night
This is perfect for couples that have a competitive relationship! Not only will this help fuel your competitive side, but it’s laid-back, vibe-y, and playful!
Scenario(s): Playing DDR with your s/o while holding hands.
Farm Fun
This is good for those that have more low-key relationships, or are shifting to small town DRs or other cozy places.
Scenario(s): Your s/o (or you) handpicking flowers for a surprise bouquet. Feeding each other the fruits you handpicked.
Camping
This is for the couples that are the outdoors-y type. This is also a great way to get to know your s/o and spend time with them away from the city and internet.
Scenario(s): Cuddling by your man-made fire to stay warm at night before heading inside your tent for bed.
Horse Riding
This can be for people that just like to do something unconventional, or even people that have country/royal DRs where horses are quite the matchmakers.
Scenario(s): Challenging your s/o to race your horses on a trail (and winning, or losing—however you choose!)
Karaoke
Chaotic and playful, this is good if you’re just looking for a musical fun time. This helps especially if you or your s/o is in the music industry.
Scenario(s): Doing drunk karaoke with your s/o and performing a very…interesting duet!
Pottery
This is just a general romantic idea if you both appreciate doing hands-on arts.
Scenario(s): Doing those cliche “Put your hands on mine while I spin the wheel” moment.
Painting (With a Twist)
Same as pottery, but this is fun if you like to spice things up with a regular and practical hobby.
Scenario(s): Doing tipsy paintings with your s/o and having your friends judge which one was better!
Stargazing
This is vibe-y, relaxing, and romantic. If you or your s/o care about the stars, it’ll be a beautiful sight to see. This is also something that has been a popular date idea since forever.
Scenario(s): Sitting on the hood of your car at the tall point of a mountain with a couple of beers (or sodas!) as you gaze at a clear view of the night sky.
Night Swim
This is just something sweet and simple. You can be free-flowing just like the water you’re diving into!
Scenario(s): Going for a night swim in an ocean (or any other body of water) and kissing your s/o underwater
Spa Day
Self-care is the best care, and it’s better if you get to do it with the one you love! This could be a nice relaxing day for you both. Remember, loving yourself is the key to loving others too—and self-care could be a great start!
Scenario(s): Unwinding with your s/o through some deep tissue massages, mani-pedis, and maybe some cute moments in the steam room.
Eat-And-Binge
For the foodies and the movie/show-fanatics. You can be a big back while enjoying some good flicks. This is nice and lazy, simple, and could be a really fun time!
Scenario(s): Building a pillow fort with your s/o and binging your favorite movies/shows while eating takeout. Or, you can switch it up and watch cringey movies/shows—whoever cringes the most has to eat/drink an experimental concoction.
Picnic
Old-fashioned and very fluffy. This is the perfect chance to really care for each other through feeding each other, making your own lunches to bring, and also basking in the wonderful environment.
Scenario(s): Tossing food for each other and maybe even feeding some of the passing ducks or cloud-gazing.
Baking
This is perfect if you or your s/o is a chef/baker. This is such a fun, loveable moment between you two while cooking up something great!
Scenario(s): Having a flour fight between you in the kitchen and smashing whip cream onto each other’s faces. Messy, but fun!
Bowling Night
Again, perfect to fuel competition!
Scenario(s): Your s/o (or you) pranking each other by putting the gutter guards up (or down) constantly. It’s so annoyingly cute!
Library
This is for the couples that like to curl up with books and immerse yourself into another world (see what I did there?). A library date is nice and quiet, and it’s also suitable for a good study-date!
Scenario(s): Playing hide-and-seek with your s/o in the library. Bonus points if it’s after-hours and you’re trying not to get caught by security!
Museum
Sophisticated and eye-opening. It’s a perfect place to get some inspiration and see the beauty in both your s/o and art!
Scenario(s): Holding hands with your s/o through each exhibit while they tell you things about how a specific art piece reminds them of you.
Shopping Spree
Like buying stuff but hating to spend it? Don’t worry, shopping spree is on your s/o (or you, if you like to spoil!)
Scenario(s): Your s/o buying everything for you and spending the whole day tending to your every impulsive, shopping needs.
Roller (Or Ice) Skating
Great way to practice trust with your s/o. Just be sure to not fall too hard, or do—you know your s/o will be there to catch you.
Scenario(s): Your s/o holding your hand as you skate and twirling you around, but also staying close behind your back in case you fall!
Escape Room
Perfect to problem-solve and play detective together!
Scenario(s): Having to act like literal detectives for the entire slot you are in for the escape room.
Old-Fashioned Dinner Date
Traditional, and filled with good conversation and good food!
Scenario(s): Going on just a regular dinner-date at a luxury restaurant!
Amusement Park/Carnival
For the thrill-seekers! This is overall a fun date for you both, and it’s great to bring home some prizes and fun memories!
Scenario(s): Spending all day at an amusement park/carnival and winning prizes for each other, enjoying funnel cakes, and kissing at the tip of the Ferris Wheel.
Movie Theater
It’s a great way to practice non-verbal communication and small intimacy! It also gives you both a lot to talk about afterwards.
Scenario(s): Resting your head against your s/o’s shoulder while you’re watching a movie. Or, having your s/o comfort you in their loving arms when you get jump-scared.
Theater
Same as the movie-date. And maybe, just maybe, your s/o will perform a musical number with you in the rain.
Scenario(s): Your s/o taking you out to the theater and even letting you meet the cast later on in the night.
Haunted House
Great way to make an excuse to be closer to your s/o. “Oh no, a ghoul! I’m so scared! HOLD ME!” Meanwhile your tummy is just full of butterflies because you know damn well you ain’t ‘fraid of no ghost.
Scenario(s): Holding your s/o’s hand the whole time while they lead you through the haunted house.
Game Cafe
Perfect for game-lovers to play some lovely co-op, or fiery competition!
Scenario(s): Playing co-op or competitive with your s/o and enjoying fun games and snacks.
Cat/Dog Cafe
For the cat or dog lovers—maybe you can event practice your pet parenting skills!
Scenario(s): Adopting your joint pet after your visit.
Dancing Night
Groovy enough to make you feel like you’re on “Dancing with the Stars”! It helps get in some fun and lighthearted exercise, while also being able to show off how well you two move together!
Scenario(s): Being dipped by your s/o, or dipping them, and getting a roar of applause from your dancing chemistry.
Lazy Day
Honestly, sometimes you don’t need to go to all the fancy stuff. You get to be casual and do whatever you want to do, but also being in each other’s company.
Scenario(s): Wearing matching loungewear/pjs the whole day.
Scavenger HUNT
It’s a great opportunity to be romantic and creative while also adding in the adventure aspect of a relationship! Time to test your skills and who knows, maybe along the way you might find some new dating spots!
Scenario(s): Doing a relationship milestone scavenger hunt with your s/o and then at the end, getting a nice proposal.
fREE wILL
What if you don’t have a set plan? Whether it’s last minute, or you just simply don’t know what exactly to do, you can do anything! This gives you a lot of room to work with, and I’m sure that you’ll both enjoy whatever you decide to do. After all, freestyle is the best style.
Scenario(s): Doing the “this” or “that” flashcard game with your s/o to decide what you want to do.
Well, that’s it for this newsletter. Remember these are all just some suggestions to add to your script or even just do right now! Well, what are you waiting for? Your s/o wants to see you so GO SHIFT!
