I don’t think anyone would have thought that come August we would still be in a situation where going places is scary. My Husband and I are not super comfortable going to many places so we have had to get very creative when we want to have a date. I think everyone has a different comfort level about this and I want to preface by saying YOU DO YOU! No judgment whatever way you choose to do things right now. I want to share some social distancing date ideas for people like us who may be a little nervous about going to many places.
Romantic walk around the lake: This is something we also love doing as a family but so much better when you and your partner can go walk around a lake. Even if you don’t have a lake nearby walking on a trail, at a park, or even in your neighborhood is so great and a wonderful time to just talk.
Picnic: Pack up a lunch (or pick up one from your favorite restaurant) and find a grassy area at a park or by the water and just have a fun little picnic!
Cooking at home: We cook all of our meals at home
but cooking together can be such a romantic time. You can put on good
music, enjoy a drink while you cook and then enjoy your meal together (after the kids go to bed of course)
Patio date night: Enjoy that meal above on your patio/deck/balcony etc. String up some lights, put on some music, pretend you are dining on a restaurant patio or on a vacation!
Drive in movie: In our area Walmart will be offering drive in movies throughout the Fall and I hope we will be able to do this at least once. It's the ultimate socially distanced movie experience (other then staying at home)
Good old fashioned driving around: Do you remember when you were in high school and driving around was fun? Go do that! Listen to some of your favorite throw back songs, and goof around! Tell me you don’t have the best time!
Have you had any date nights like this during social distancing? Tell me!
