5 Unique Outings for You & Your SO

[Anonymous]

Disclaimer: these may not be possible or preferable for all couples in all locations.

The movie theater and the mall are getting pretty stale these days, so why not surprise your significant other with one of these fresh, new outings?

---

1. Rose Garden Stroll

Strolling through a rose garden with your significant other is a romantic way for you both to spend some quality time together. Get intimate as you experience the lovely aromas of hundreds of rose varieties; and, as an added bonus, rose gardens make wonderful wedding venues!

2. Open House Tour

Even if you're not looking to buy, touring an open house with your significant other can be a great conduit for intimate conversation about your next (or first) home together. Plus, there's always the potential for free homemade cookies.

3. Nursing Home Visit

Many of our community's oldest members are full of wisdom and love, but for various reasons, must live in nursing homes, day after day feeling isolated and alone. A visit to a nursing home with your significant other will not only brighten an older adult's day, but you may even make a new friend or learn something new.

4. Cat Café Rendezvous

These adorable #themecafés are popping up everywhere and are a perfect blend of food and fun for you and your significant other. Order up a hot beverage and snack while giving some local foster-cared kitties some love. Since they're all up for adoption, support the animal shelter closest to you by visiting one of these cafés today.

5. Paint N' Sip Experience

It's common knowledge that cheese and chocolate marry well with wine...but what about pairing that Pinot Noir with some painting? The "paint and sip" industry has blossomed since 2007 with the establishment of studios offering fine wine and art lessons. These "wine and design" studios are a great alternative to the bar or club, and the experience appeals to couples and families alike.

1. Looks romantic...

2. I would soo enjoy an open house tour, date or not. X)

3. Maybe a retirement home with independent or even assisted living, but I don't think a nursing home would be an appropriate place for an outing unless it was like a volunteer work. I've been to one, and it wasn't at all like that shown in your picture. You couldn't talk to them, because they weren't really in the state to. Most were just spaced out, staring blankly into space. Many suffered dementia, Alzheimer's, etc. And the ones who could talk were barely audible. It was really quite sad. :/

4. Nooo. I hate cats. Scratch that. I'm scared of cats. 🙈 I would be so stressed out in a room full of them. My friends and I once found one by chance, and I just stood outside while they went in and checked the place out. X)

5. I've gone to one before. The painting I did currently hangs on the wall of my parents' TV room. :) It was fun, although I don't think I did much sipping. X) This would be a pretty cool date, especially if he was into art as well. The painting would be a great reminder of it too. 👍🏻

Which ones have you done before?

[myTake Owner]

I've done the open house and rose garden. I don't drink actually so the art one is out for me, but I do like painting. And then I love cats, but haven't been to the cafe yet. Thanks for your opinion ☺️

[ThePetSquirrel]

I'd love to do these with my girlfriend... IF I HAD ONE! https://cdn.meme.am/instances/24716112.jpg

[myTake Owner]

don't give up hope. 😵

[ThePetSquirrel]

I haven't. :)

[bbch25]

These are really great ideas!
My SO is coming to where I live for the first time and I'd been looking for ideas to do and while none of these are really an option so we'll probably end up with bowling and pool tables, we do have a botanical gardens that we could walk through!
I'd love to do the kitten thing, he doesn't like cats though ha.

[myTake Owner]

I'm glad you liked my suggestions! ☺️ A botanical garden is romantic too, and I'm sure you and your SO would have a great time. Aw it's too bad he doesn't like cats, but maybe they'll start making dog cafes someday too!

[Phoenix98]

I like strolling through gardens and always enjoy the company of senior citizens but the others aren't really something I'd do, especially the last one, I never drink and paint.

[myTake Owner]

I'm glad you could relate to a couple of them 🙂 And I'm with you on the last one since I don't drink

[Phoenix98]

Mhmm.

What about a nice picnic lake side. Or like the old days kissers rock just hang out at a great vantage spot over looking the valley till the stars come out. Then just lay back talk and enjoy the stary view.

[myTake Owner]

Yeah! Those are all nice too, very romantic

[Oxi112094]

I love this! These date ideas are so cute and unique, and I so want to go to a cat cafe haha. Also that paint n sip idea is really neat☺️ My boyfriend is into art and that would be so cool.

[myTake Owner]

Thanks! ☺️ I hope you both are able to try some of them.

[Blonde401]

Wow. I've literally been taken on an actual date only a handful of times and nobody has ever bothered to take me anywhere but a bar.

[myTake Owner]

I see. I don't drink, so I've never been to a bar...

[Blonde401]

I'm not really a drinker myself, I think people just don't see me as someone to make an effort over. You're not missing out that's for sure 😅

[Blonde401]

Oh and this is despite being in several long term relationships...

[myTake Owner]

Glad I'm not missing out. And I hope you meet someone who puts some effort into their date choices. 😐

[Blonde401]

Yeah you're very lucky. And that's never gonna happen, I've given up dating but I wish you well :)

[myTake Owner]

Aw well ok, thank you and I wish you well too 💓🙂

[LittleSally]

Wow... makes me want to go on a date with you! Haha
Great ideas - my kinda fun. =)

[myTake Owner]

Yay! Thanks so much 😀

[LittleSally]

No problem! Great taste! =)

[Cccgala]

The Open House Tour is really romantic in my opinion. This is a good take 😊

[myTake Owner]

Thanks! ☺️

[Mustachekitteh]

I know that cat cafe in the picture. At least it looks like this one in japan. ^^

[John_Doesnt]

This is like the ultimate stereotype for what women want in a date. Why not go to a pony and glitter show?

[myTake Owner]

Ok I literally wrote down 8 things that my boyfriend does for me and he loves me. I'm not trying to say that every guy will do this. I had a disclaimer for that very purpose. Regardless of whether this is an "ultimate stereotype" or not, these are some things that some men might do when they love the girl they're with.

[myTake Owner]

Wait... I thought this was my other mytake... I'm sorry... But it kind of applies here too. I've done some of these things with my boyfriend and he really enjoyed it doing them with me, so I figured why not share them with people on here in case someone thinks one sounds good. That's all

[John_Doesnt]

and what is wrong with the pony and glitter show?

[Remembermyname4]

Rose garden sounds amazing.

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, I went to one once and didn't want to leave ☺️ I hope you can visit one sometime

[Anonymous]

the dumbest shit i have ever read on here so far...

[livehappy]

Maybe I can try these one day!

[myTake Owner]

Yeah! I'd recommend all of them ❤️
