February is all about love and having fun with the people you care about. Whether it be with a significant other or your best friend, it’s always nice to have a date night. However, you can get sick of the cliché dinner date ideas. With these unique date options, there won’t ever be a need to look at Google for inspiration again.
Going out to dinner is fun, but how about bringing dinner to the beach? Having a picnic on the beach with the blanket spread out across the soft, white sand can revamp a typical date. Not to mention, it requires a lot more thought which, in the end, will be much appreciated by your date. Add in a lovely sunset, and you’re set! Dinner doesn’t always have to be going out to a fancy restaurant. Although that is nice, it tends to be redundant when people ask what your plans were for a holiday. Taking it to the next step can make a huge difference just because of the thought that went into making it happen.
Think about past food dates. Some people are picky when it comes to food. Lucky for them, anywhere can be a fun time if you’re with the people you love. So, take this romance to Orlando. There are tons of exciting places to explore in Orlando, FL. It doesn’t have to be expensive either. Somewhere like Disney Springs or City Walk can turn out to be one of the best dates; it requires little to no money. Maybe you don’t mind spending a little cash as long as everyone has a good time. In that case, the Orlando Eye would be a fascinating date at night. Whatever you choose, Orlando is filled with tons of great ideas for Valentine’s Day.
Dates don’t have to go as far as Orlando, though. Even if you don’t have enough gas to get to Orlando, Dade City can be filled with fun dates as well. Have you ever been to a drive-in movie? The Joy-Lan Drive-In can be a cool way to kick back and relax with the one you love. They show many different films from different genres. Just pick one and have a good time.
Another unique date idea would be attending the Florida State Fair. Find yourself at the top of the Ferris wheel with your loved ones while listening to the other roller coasters and games in the background. This date is an exciting way to make memories while sharing some laughs and screams. Many people do not think of the fair as being a cute date idea anymore; however, it used to be the cliché date idea back in the day. Let’s bring it back.
Whatever date you choose. There will never be a dull moment when spending time with the people you love. Think outside of the box.
