Fall is here and we know everyone cannot wait to go outside and enjoy the fresh air. Nothing beats walking around campus with the leaves falling and Taylor Swift playing through your earbuds. With all of this being amazing single, everyone knows one of the best times to be in a relationship is in the fall. Being ‘taken’ in the fall means you get to enjoy carving pumpkins together, breezy walks in the cold air, and couples’ Halloween costumes.

While thinking of all of this makes me feel horribly single, we can still enjoy these things with friends. Whether you are relating to Taylor Swift’s new album a little too much or not at all, here is a list of the best places to take someone on a date in Raleigh, NC.

Fall date ideas:

First up is for the bookworms, Quail Ridge Books is a bookstore located in the Lassiter District. This is the perfect place for those who want to get tucked away with a nice book and their favorite person.

If you have ever wanted that perfect picnic picture for Instagram this is the place to go. With the choice of going to a planned event or a nice chill day, Dorothea Dix Park is the perfect first date.

With new exhibits frequently this makes for the perfect date spot. This can be a nice surprise for your partner or a joint decision. The North Carolina Art Museum will be having exhibits all throughout the fall.
