65 Date Ideas to Try in 2015 

Valentine's Day is approaching and so it is that time of the year to grab that special person in your life and show them how much you love them. If you are lucky enough to have someone on Valentine's day, here is a really long list of ideas for you. Go out, stay in, do something as simple as watching a film together, just have fn and enjoy spending time together in 2015. 

For singletons on Valentine's day, I can only say sorry - maybe you could use this as a list of things to do! 

So here you have it, 65 date ideas to try and complete in 2015 (I may have even included a bonus at the end... you lucky lucky people!)




1.     Restaurant Relay
Visit different restaurants for your starter, main, dessert and drinks. I have always wanted to do this, but I always think that I would be bored after the main, or fancy dessert from the menu at one of the restaurants and end up staying anyway!

2.     Picnic

Whether you have one at home, in the garden, at the beach or up a mountain, make it special with strawberries and champagne.

3.     Trip to the Zoo

4.     Cinema

A classic old school date – don’t forget the popcorn!

5.     Film Marathon

Catch up on all those films that you have been desperate to watch

Cook your favourite meal at home.

7.     Go for a Walk
Some of the simplest dates are the best.

8.     Beach Date

Make sandcastles, throw stones, and walk along the shore.

Try and win as many toys as possible, penny machines and blue slush, perfect.
