We often hear about romantic-candlelit dinners and fairy tale-like dream dates that are filled with fireworks.

While these are all fantastic dates that can make a princess fall head over heels in love with her Prince Charming, a modern-day Cinderella would want something more trendy and less predictable for her date.

Gone are the days when dates are all about pretty dresses and coats with ties in a formal setting. This new millennium has made breakthrough changes with the way couples spend their time together.

Of course, romantic dates would never go out of style. But for modern couples, there are things that are far more fun than getting all dressed up for a night out with their partner.

Here are some trendy and creative date ideas that you might want to try;

Karaoke Night

Ever had those days when you just want to sing your heart out to your partner?

Try having a karaoke date where you can just sing, get a little crazy and have fun together. It’s a great way to bond and to spend some quality time together in a more carefree and casual way.

Go for a Hike

Hiking and immersing yourself in the beauty of nature is an excellent date idea. Imagine the nice sceneries you’ll discover, the great pictures you can take and the experience of just being together outside of your comfort zone.

Take a Trip Down Memory Lane

Go to memorable places that remind you where you first met, where you had your first date or where you first fell in love. Visit places which are relevant to your relationship like a restaurant, a cafe, book store or park.

Spa Date

Get a relaxing one-hour Swedish massage together. Some spas have couples’ room where you and your partner can enjoy a soothing time together. After the massage, drink some warm tea together. A relaxing time can be beneficial to each other’s health and wellness.

Spend a Whole Day Together

Get into a private place together where you can play the role of a newlywed couple. It could be in his place or yours. Prepare meals together, watch TV all day, play games, make love and get intimate.

The idea is to break free from conventional dates and to do things your way.

Staycation at the Beach

Pack your bags, book a room and head to a beach resort. Enjoy some quality time together walking along the shore, swimming on the beach, watching sunsets and enjoying the sound of the waves.

Take pictures to keep the memories and talk about your dreams and plans for the future.

Have a Picnic

If you like simple yet intimate ideas, you can drive somewhere and have a nice picnic. Bring packed lunches, fruits, chips, drinks and a picnic mat.

Try to find a place where you can get some fresh air while enjoying the view. This may be a classic idea but it’s a date that you’ll always remember.

Go to a Comedy Bar

Nothing can make you feel more light-hearted than having a good laugh. So, if you want something different that can boost your mood and make you feel young, go watch a comedy show and laugh your heart out together.
