Date ideas for bored couple

Going for a walk or hiking is a new favorite activity for me. Gives you a chance for some one-on-one time with the beauty around you being the only distraction

Here's my recommendation- change up your date timing. Nights are nice, but they tend to cut down your choices. Have daytime dates.

1. Go for a walk through the local park and end it with a nice picnic.
2. Find a nearby state park with interesting trails and go hiking together. If there's one with a nice view at the top of the trail, take a picnic or a couple of drums or something to do at the top together. Can be as simple as some poems to read to each other or a camera to take pictures.
3. If you like sports, find a park and some friends to play some games of pick-up ball-basketball, soccer, whatever you like to play.
4. Find a lake nearby where you can rent a canoe, paddleboat, kayak or something similar to share a more romantic experience.
5. If you've never tried it, white water rafting can be a fun experience, though it's more of a weekend than a date.
6. Looks like you're up north, so you might still be able to find some skiing if you look quickly.
7. Roller rink! Go skating together. It might sound dated, but it really can be fun.

Hope that gives you some ideas. I'm a big fan of "active" dates for those of us who have been together a long time and need to "spice things up." Have fun!

Married 22 years... Bowling, shooting, riding our bikes into Denver for lunch, then back again.... Thinking of things to do besides Dinner/Movies does take some effort..

Love go karts, we have kids, but it's fun to still do the kids activities when it's just us. So we will do go karts or miniature golf, I've never done paintball because I'm a scaredy chicken (according to the kids). But sometimes we'll go out to the park just outside of town and swing and play on the jungle gym and just be 5 years old for a little while. Playing tag is so much more fun as an adult.

And sometimes, when the kids aren't home, we'd rather just stay home and play games, throw in some healthy snacks and play adult twister, it can get really interesting, lol.

Do the house work in lingere or naked just wearing heels.

But now that I am trying to get healthy, I need date ideas that doesn't include sitting for 2-3 hours and eating/drinking.

What is a date? I've heard of these famous things and I believe that I had one at one time but refresh my memory... jk Having been together for over 16 years and married for 8+ with two kids we find inventive things to do with a short time. Go to an arcade (yes they still have them around) and challenge your hubby to some games the winner gets to chose dinner. Go paint balling or lazer tag (these are so much fun as adults but go during the day so there aren't a ton of kids) This sounds odd but go shopping. Remember when you were younger and you would go to the mall or the store with your friends and try on funny hats? well do it with your hubby and buy one of those funny hats to bring home. (We use them for board game night or poker with friends) People will think you are crazy but do a scavenger hunt. We used to do this with our friends all the time. The couple who finds the most things usually got some sort of fun prize. Visit your old haunts. Go to the park you played at as kids and swing on the swing-set it builds a stronger bond letting someone into your past. If you have to stay in challenge each other to a game competitiveness builds strong marriage. Most of these are free or cheap as well! Also, I live in a tourist town and sometimes we go to the tourist traps! Nothing funnier than those and as we live in the town usually we haven't visited them and it brings a new charm to the city.

May 5th is the zombie 5k up by Boston. There is a party after...

I'm going!

Did you ever think of paintball? massive cardio work out and gets the aggression out

golf.

Go to a live gig and dance :O) x

bump! nice topic!

Not sure where you live, but going wine tasting is sooo fun :-) and if you're in a nice area, the drive is half the fun

I love bowling and putt-putt with my husband. Keeps you off your butt and has some fun only-slightly competition involved.

I bought a hot air balloon package off of groupon...neither of us had done it before and it was something out of the ordinary for us. It was romantic which was nice but we had major fun just being foolish with each other. We've been together 11 years and married 7 with a very active kid so we get stuck in the mundane from time to time also.

Dancing, attending a local festival, car-boat-RV-craft- show, take a class or some lessons together, camping, ballgame, walk around a local high school track- it's a great way to catch up together and also get exercise. Swimming, bicycling, skiing...
