5 Date Ideas That Are SO Much More Chill Than Netflix And Chilling All Summer Long

Dates are hard to plan. You always want there to be a balance between fun and unique. After a while, the dinner and a movie idea becomes boring — and expensive. Here are some date ideas that will help you mix things up so your nights together can be spontaneous, romantic, and fun!

Bowling

Bowling is, to some people, an obvious idea, but it is overlooked by many. Bowling gives you the opportunity to show your competitive side and have a chance to talk, all in one. Even if you are not a world class bowler, this date can create many laughs and memories to remember in the future.

Half and half picnic

A half and half picnic is a fun spinoff of your average picnic. First step Is to pick a spot. This can anything from a park to a driveway. The second step is where things get fun! Give your significant other the choice of entrée or dessert. Whatever they choose, they bring and you bring the other. A half and half picnic gives you an opportunity to surprise one another in an inexpensive and easy way.

Arcades

What is better than a friendly game...or ten? Going to an arcade can show off your hidden competitive side. Arcades give you the opportunity to joke around in a relaxed environment, plus there might even be prizes at the end.

DIY drive-in movie

Everyone has been on the cliche date that consists of dinner and a movie. Whether you have a truck, minivan, or just a backyard, you can transform them into the perfect spot for movies and cuddle. Grab a few blankets, pillows, a laptop, and you're set. But don't forget the popcorn of course!

Bonfires

Bonfires allow you to show your outdoorsy side. Imagine, you and your person, wrapped up in blankets, sitting next to a fire under the stars. Do I need to say more?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
