Local Football Game

Reminisce some high school/college memories together by going to a local football game at your local HS or university. Share some of your favorite stories and most embarrassing moments from when you were in HS/College. Not into watching the game? Tailgate!

Bookstore Date

Call me a hopeless romantics at heart, but there's something so endearing about a bookshop date. Pick a charming bookstore with a cafe (and preferably comfy couches so that you can linger for a bit) and get lost in thoughtful conversation. The aroma of coffee beans coupled with the soft hum of acoustic tunes in the background will make for the ultimate fall date.

Apple Picking

Put on some walking shoes and your insta-worthy plaid flannel shirts for an apple picking date night with super cute and cozy selfies included. Bring home your bounty and make apple pie, caramel apples, apple turnovers for breakfast, apple crisp, apple bread, the options are limitless.

Weekend Getaway

Can’t afford a big vacation or take much time off of work? Head to a fun Airbnb in your state. Try a charming cabin in the country or even a treehouse nestled away in the woods.

Carve Pumpkins

This has been a family tradition of ours for as long as I can remember. Head to a nearby pumpkin patch, pick out your blank canvas and head home to whittle away together until it resembles your vision. For inspiration check Google or Pinterest for pumpkin carving ideas.

Hiking Adventure

Tired of hanging at home? Head out on a hiking adventure together and discover some picturesque views! Though it might be a wee bit chilly, I know that beautiful sunrise or sunset will be worth it!

Thrifting

When my hubby and I first got married we loved going thrifting together for new Fall and Christmas decorations. I know you’ll be shocked at the gems you find. One time I found a pair of like new hunter boots for $20.

Camping

There is no better time of year than fall to do a little stargazing and s’more eating! If you don’t have a tent, borrow one from a friend. This date is perfect for cuddling and storytelling!

Haunted House

I don’t think I’ve been to a Haunted House in 17-ish years but this fall tradition is something everyone couple should do together at least once. If you want some extra company, make it a group date!

Oktoberfest

There are so many fall festivals to visit and Oktoberfest is a biggie. Have fun and let loose. If you find yourself wanting to experience Oktoberfest but can’t get out of the house (like in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic) think up a way to create your own Oktoberfest at home. Load up on local craft bears, whip up some soft pretzels, and have your own DIY festival in your backyard or at a local park.

{At Home} Escape Room

Escape rooms require assessing your partner’s weaknesses and allow you to get to know each other’s problem-solving skills. But, if you aren’t. comfortable getting out to do this during the pandemic, check out this article about how to play escape room games at home!

Bike Ride

Fall’s cooler days means the weather is perfect for cycling. Grab your bikes or borrow some from a friend and explore a neighborhood you’ve never seen before as you look at all the beautiful fall foliage. Not to mention the awesome endorphin release you’ll experience will boost both of your moods and have you laughing and smiling in no time.
