DDLG Date Ideas

So the eternal challenge in any relationship is trying to come up with date ideas that are new and innovative. Here are a bunch of ideas after we threw a bunch at the wall and this is what stuck.

Create a treasure hunt

Everyone loves a treasure hunt. You can hide gifts, candy, leggo, anything you can think of really. Keep it fun and light hearted, and this can last all evening.

Build a blanket fort

Blanket forts are perfect places to hide from the big world, and defend your territory from attack.

Head to the beach

Sand, sea, surf, and sun… also you’re both almost naked!

Go grocery shopping together

Pushing past aggressive shoppers for the last crown of broccoli alone is miserable, but with a special someone? It’s a sexy team sport.

Plan a fake vacation together

This will give you an insight into each others styles and dreams. Remember that game you played as a kid where you’d spin a globe, see where your finger landed, and pretend you were flying out immediately? Do that but with the benefit of the internet.

Play hide n’ seek

Possibly the world’s flirtiest game.

Play “Never Have I Ever”

In terms of getting to know someone, nothing else comes close.

Find a photo booth

Seriously, you need instructions? Go!

Old photos

Go through old photos of each other. Try to pick the other out of their grade three class photos. Really helps you get back into a child like mindset.

Fly a kite

You get to feel like a kid again… oh wait, isn’t that the entire idea?

Go to an aquarium

Look daddy… FISHIES!!!!

Go to a zoo

Ditto aquarium… but less fishy.

Go to a library together

Story time with daddy, but don’t be too loud…

Go to an improv show

Even if it’s horrible you’re bound to have a great time.

Out in nature, things with a special somebody can get intimate quickly.

Coloring books

Go hard at coloring, or make a competition out of it. Does daddy have any skills?

Board games

This can be done with just two of you, or you could host a party and break out the board games.

Go to an art gallery

Many galleries have free entry and you can see how your skills stack up to the professionals.
