6 Fun Date Ideas for a Rainy Day
Are you tired of the weather? Do you feel that watching yet another movie isn’t fun anymore? Well, it might be so. That’s why we want to propose some alternatives. Take a look at our ideas for rainy day dates and discover how much fun you can have with your partner, even when it’s pouring!
1. Get Some Arcade Fun
Rain is quite depressing, so you ought to counteract it with something fun… like visiting an arcade! All you have to do is order a cab, get to the nearest arcade, and spend hours playing together. Moreover, if the arcade is in the local mall, you can finish your date with a cup of coffee at a local cafe or even a romantic dinner. Don’t let the rain stop you from having fun!
2. Time for a Game Night
If you don’t want to leave the comfort of your home, we suggest a two-person game night. Choose the board/card games you like the most, and play each of them to see who’s the best. You can make it even more exciting by adding bets; for instance, you can agree that the loser cooks the dinner or plans the next date.
3. Taste Tasting
If you’re in for a treat, you can order multiple bottles of different wines or maybe some fancy cheese boards and start… testing them. It’s quite a simple rainy-day date idea, but it’s also a lot of fun. Some foods you might test include:
- wine,
- cheese,
- chocolates,
- candies,
- salty snacks,
- international snacks/sweets.
Just pick something you both love the most and remember to experiment with the foods. You might make some mouth-watering discoveries, and you’ll have plenty of time to talk, laugh, and get to know each other better.
4. Try Painting
You can also get some canvases, paint, and try… creating portraits of each other. The less you know about painting, the better this rainy-day date idea is—you’re bound to bond over your mishaps and the final caricatures you’ve created. Just don’t show your work to each other until it is finished. We guarantee you lots of laughter!
Don’t stick to painting each other if you don’t want to; you can, for instance, your pet or your boss (if you work together). What’s important is that you should both know the person, as the paintings will likely end up being quite the caricatures!
5. Go to a Museum
If you are looking for a safe, rainy-day date idea that will help you make a good first impression, visit a local museum together. This might not be the most exciting of your dates, but it’s still going to be a lot of fun, injected with learning and broadening your horizons.
You can opt for some general, most renowned museums, but don’t be afraid to experiment. If there’s a unique place in your city, you can visit and explore it together. Just make sure that, in such a case, you’re on the same page; some unusual museums might not be for everyone!
6. Walk in the Park and Embrace the Rain
Who said date night ideas for a rainy day should be all about avoiding getting wet? If you both love nature and don’t mind a little bit of water, grab an umbrella and go for a walk. Release your inner kids and jump into the puddles, enjoy the smell of wet leaves, and admire the water-covered architecture. It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you, it will be a perfect date!
The Takeaway
The above are just a few indoor and outdoor date ideas for a rainy day. Remember that the key is creativity. Think outside the box and come up with activities that will let you avoid watching another movie and have fun. After all, you don’t have to stick to our ideas if you have better ones!
