How about a picnic date? Bring wine, food and music. So romantic. Any location will work that has a nice view. Take a biking or hiking trip. Go on a hike to a viewpoint or a waterfall. Any hike is beautiful in my opinion, and you can enjoy each other's company while out in nature. If you use an electric bike, you can ride much further than if you use a standard bike. Ride to a restaurant that had outside dinning, while exploring your city. Enjoy yourself and get to know your date in a fun and healthy way. Water date. Plan a day at a lake, the beach, or a pool. Rent a kayak, paddleboard, boat, or a jet ski. Everyone likes the water and it’s a fun way to spend an afternoon and get to know each other. Find a concert in the park.

Try an athletic activity like 9 holes of golf...
