Well it snowed here today. Whether we like it or not we are rapidly approaching the long, cold winter months. It can be hard to get out in the winter, and as a result, we go out and do less romantic things with our partners. I’ve created a list of easy winter date ideas so you can get out there – even in the winter!

Outdoor Date Ideas

If you’re a person who enjoys the cold (or at least can handle it), here are some ideas for outdoor dates!

1. Go sledding or tubing
2. Learn to ski or snowboard together
3. Build a snowman
4. Go for a hike (just wear your boots!)
5. Build a cozy fire outside
6. Find a recreational outdoor sport (we have winter kickball in our area)
7. Help a neighbor by shoveling together
8. Go ice skating
