Have you and your significant other played every board game in the world? Are you tired of doing the same routine everyday and would appreciate some much needed romance? Due to the ongoing pandemic, many places have closed so your options for date nights may be limited. However, there are a couple of activities you both could do while social distancing from others. Keep reading for safe and cute date night ideas!
1. Picnic at the Park
While some restaurants are open for indoor and outdoor dining, this is still unsafe for a number of reasons. When you take your mask off to eat around strangers, you don’t know whether they have obeyed social distancing guidelines to the extent that you have or not. You are also putting employees who may not have a choice to be there because they need money to survive, at risk. The best option is to stick to takeout or delivery. You and your significant other can pick up food from your favorite restaurant, grab a blanket, and enjoy your meal at the park away from others.
2. Drive-In Movie
3. The Penny Date
The Penny Date is mysterious, adventurous, and perfect for quarantine! How to play: You or your significant other picks a number between 1-20 before setting out to drive. That’s how many times you flip the penny before stopping. Every time you reach a stop sign or stoplight, you flip the penny. If it lands on heads, you turn right. If it lands on tails, you turn left. After you’ve flipped your penny x amount of times, you can both exit your vehicle to make a date out of your location. To be safe, please wear your masks when you’re outside and use hand sanitizer when you’re back inside.
Please remember that it’s important for everyone to do their part to stay inside unless it is essential. Now that summer has arrived and we have been in quarantine for almost six months now, more couples may be tempted to break social distancing to have “fun.” However, there are other ways to have safe, yet romantic dates together…you just have to be creative!
