Have an animal lover in the relationship? This date is definitely for you. Roer's Zoofari is like a petting zoo and a regular zoo all in one. They even have bus tours taking you up close and personal with the animals. Think Jurassic park, but without dinosaurs. Yes, there will be little kids running around the zoo. But, you'll barely notice them when you are your S.O. are off on a camel ride, or feeding a Giraffe.

If your S.O. is more of the outdoorsy type, why not plan a date at the park! Make sure to bring along a blanket and picnic basket for lunch time! As for activities, some parks have hiking trails, fishing lakes, and volleyball courts.

Try Baking or Cooking Something Together

Whether you or your significant other is good at baking or cooking is besides the point when it comes to this date.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
