The options you have for sunny-day date ideas are endless. But when it comes to rainy days, the list doesn’t seem to go beyond dinner and a movie. But if you think outside the box, there are plenty of fun dates you can have when the weather is wet and dreary. So the next time it’s raining cats and dogs, see if any of these date ideas appeal to you and your partner.
Book a Couples Massage
What better way to relax than to hear a gentle pitter-patter outside while enjoying a professional massage? So if the forecast calls for rain, book a couples massage.
Play Grown-Up Games
Anything can technically be considered a “grown-up game,” but we’re talking about activities like pool, darts, ping-pong, and VR challenges. Get competitive and see how many laughs you can have together.
Have a Flight Night
Many bars and restaurants offer sample-size flights of beer, wine, and whiskey; others have samplers of chicken wings, nachos, wraps, and desserts. They can cost a lot of money, but they will be less expensive if you do them from the comfort of your home. For at-home flight night, pick your favorite beverages and snacks and turn them into tiny portions. Then line them up on trays and serve!
Put on Some Blades or Skates
Indoor rollerblading or ice skating will get you moving and laughing! If one of you doesn’t have experience, hold on tight! After a few minutes, you’ll get the hang of it. And if not, you’ll enjoy helping each other up off the ground!
Try a One-Day Book Club
If you’re both readers, this date is for you. Select a book from the bookshelf or library and read it out loud together. At the end, talk about it like you are in a book club. If you don’t love reading, choose a short story or poem instead.
