The warm days of summer provide the perfect conditions for
exciting romance and fun outdoor date ideas, but as the seasons
change and the winter winds pick up, many couples may find
it more difficult to come up with exciting date ideas when
its cold, rainy, and, sometimes, snowy outside. Here are
five winter date ideas to help keep those warm feelings between
you and your sweetie burning even when it isn’t warm
outside.
Winter Date Idea #1: Ice Skating
Wrap up in scarves and gloves and take your partner to the
local ice rink for some fun winter-time exercise. Due to
the cold weather, you and your loved one may have given
up some of the outdoor date activities that would bring
you together during warmer months. Don’t give up
on outdoor activities just because its winter. Ice skating
can be romantic (holding hands, picking her up when she
falls) as well as great outdoor exercise.
Winter Date Idea #2: Christmas Light Gazing
Take advantage of all of the holiday house decorating during
the Christmas season by planning a date to drive around
your neighborhood looking at Christmas lights. You can
keep warm in your car, listening to Christmas music or
romantic tunes and share the joy of brightly lit houses
with sparkling colorful lights and festive decorations.
Winter Date Idea #3: Snuggling By The Fire
What is more romantic than gathering under some warm blankets
in front of a blazing fire? If you have a fireplace in
your house or apartment, make a date with your partner
to spend some cuddle time in front of a fire. You can make
hot chocolate and keep warm by the fire at home or, if
you don’t have access to a fireplace at your own
home, go to a café or lodge with a fireplace and
share a dessert and coffee while enjoying the warmth of
the fire.
Winter Date Idea #4: Holiday Gift Shopping
Holiday gift shopping can be a stressful activity, but it
doesn’t have to be. You can turn your holiday gift
shopping into a fun couples activity. The key is to keep
it light hearted. Plan a day of shopping in your favorite
mall or shopping center, with a lunch break in between
in order to sit and unwind a bit. Go with the intention
of browsing around for gifts, picking up things here or
there - don’t go with an agenda to find everything
you are looking for…this could lead to stress or
anxiety. Make sure you plan your shopping date far in advance
of when you will be giving the gifts, so that you can take
your time while you and your partner look around.
Winter Date Idea #5: Have a Snow Fight
Wrap yourself up in a heavy jacket, lace up your snow boots,
and venture outside into the snow for the day. You and
your loved one can spend the day building snowmen, making
snow angels, and having playful snowball fights. Enjoy
the snow while you can, it doesn’t stick around all
year, after all. It’s a great way to get exercise
and afterwards you can head indoors for some hot cocoa.
Remember, just because the weather turns cold, it doesn’t
mean your dates have to loose their warmth. You can have
a fun and romantic time with your partner even when it’s
snowy, stormy, or icy. Take advantage of the winter weather
with fun in the snow and ice skating, keep warm in front
of the fire, and participate in holiday activities like shopping
and Christmas light gazing and your winter is sure to be
full of warm and happy memories with your sweetheart.
