- It helps us escape our everyday life and bring in some spice as we try to be adventurous together.
- It opens us up to new experiences.
- We get to see each other in a whole new different light. By so doing, we get to watch each other and know how to handle ourselves under different circumstances.
- It helps us share ideas and have some sunset date ideas we can explore together. It helps bring out our creative side.
- It helps us create and have fun also while we focus on each other.

Wouldn’t it be great if you take advantage of this time to see your lover in simple outfits while you explore nature and have lots of fun together? If you are searching for some perfect summer date ideas or creative summer date ideas, be rest assured that you are reading the right post. Come with me as we explore a few summer date ideas together.
We are starting from the bottom as we count down to the number one thing you can try out with your lover while on a date. Now to some date ideas for couples.
100. Watch A Movie Outdoors
Have you tried going to a nearby park, setting up your laptop and having the crowd around you as a backdrop while you watch a movie? If that seems weird, how about turning on the portable Tv in the vehicle, sit in your car while taking a ride or even drive a few miles away to somewhere quiet. You could snuggle and cuddle while you do this.
99. Go For A Walk Together
The cold periods made it nearly impossible to go out at will, now that you have some sunshine, how about walking on it? You could just take a walk together. This is an exercise and also a great way to bond as you watch your mate sweat while walking. You could walk into gardens and parks.
98. Go To An Outdoor Concert
If you are a music lover or not, never mind, go experience live music somewhere in the open.
97. Invite Friends Over For An Outdoor Picnic
It’s common for ladies to invite friends of friends over for lunch together either at home in the open or book a spot in your favourite restaurant. Whichever works for you, give it a shot.
96. Go To The Beach
Ever walked around the beach barefooted? Watched the waves as it cascades covering everything within its pathway? How about the warmth emanating from the sun, have you experienced it?
This is one of the summer date ideas you should give a try, I recommend this for couples too as it one of my favourite date ideas for couples. Indulge your senses and have a feel of the water too, it will calm your nerves as it makes you relax also.
95. Go Hiking
Want something daring? You can try this. Take pictures and also have a change of scenery. This could be an exciting adventure for you two. Explore and plan to go to some very popular hiking spots in your neighbourhood.
94. Play An Outdoor Game Together
From racing to dance karaoke or even playing football with friends isn’t a bad idea after all. Give it a try.
93. Look Into The Sky Together
Let your partner know how important they are to you as you stargaze. Watch out for shooting stars and quickly make a wish. Don’t miss such moments.
92. Go Hunting
This may sound weird but exploring wildlife together could be fun. If you are scared of experiencing it live, try following Tv programs that showcase wildlife.
91. Try Giving Each Other A Relaxing Massage
You do not have to go to the spa always. Try your homemade facial scrub and face mask. Then finish it up by giving each other a neck or foot massage. You don’t have to be a pro to do this also, what matters is that you care about each other’s well being.

Read Drey’s love story.
One summer holiday I can never forget in a hurry is One spent with Joan some years ago. I met her about four months before summer but we were both busy with work and hardly had time to bond, we only met once in a week but tried to keep in touch via phone calls and messages.
I personally had my own insecurities as I have had my heart broken severally. I gave a shot at Joan just when I was about giving up on love.
When the warm season began to come on us gradually, we both agreed to take a few days from work (our annual leave falls in summer anyway). Forward to our summer date. It was fun. We met a night before our proposed trip to my place and left early the next morning.
Getting to our destination, we kissed for the first time and I could hardly catch my breath. I began to see Joan in an entirely different manner. I was drowned by the feelings I had for her, the butterflies in my belly-flopped like this had been the moment they had all been waiting for.
We both agreed that something clicked between us, there and then I decided to watch her closely for a few more days and I wasn’t disappointed at all, I knew she was mine.
She was fun to be with, it was never a dull moment being around her, we played like kids and then I made up my mind to have her for keeps. We have been married for 10 years now, yet I can’t forget the opportunity our summer date afforded us to get to know and understand each other better.
We have not stopped dating as we make time to visit some favourite spots and fun places to explore nature and enjoy each other’s company. We try to break boredom and routine all the time and our relationship grows also.
You never can tell, this could be your love story. Are you single and wanting to tango? You could meet Mr. Right while you are out catching fun.
That reminds me of a young lady who walked into my office beaming smiles with a man that looked like one in his mid-forties. I’d like to call her Ami. She mentioned with great delight how she happened to have fallen in love with this guy I’d like to also call Yash.
She packed her stuff one summer holiday and decided to go to another city, check-in and go to a beautiful destination she refused to mention to me. Fortunately, Yash was her tourist guide and one thing led to another and they have been married for 6 years now.
Am I saying what’s in your heart?
Summertime could be a time to find love and fall in love. You never can tell who is watching while you suntan, while you are swimming or even while jogging or sitting alone in a restaurant. You may end up meeting that special person that will light up your world. Hope my single ladies just got an idea now?
