Fall is here! I am here to help you find the perfect dates for this Fall. Even if you’re not in a relationship you can still go on these dates with family and friends! 

Pumpkin Patch

Going to a pumpkin patch is a great way to spend time with someone. You can have a nice outing at the pumpkin patch and pick your perfect pumpkins. While you’re picking your pumpkins it’s a great way for conversation and to get to know someone in a public place if this is a first date. It’s also an awesome place to take cute pictures for Instagram!

Corn Maze

A corn maze is a fun outing if you or your partner enjoy a challenge! It is a great way to get out of the house and have fun trying to figure out how to get of the maze. This is also an amazing way to see how your partner may react when stressed out but while in a fun environment! 

Pumpkin Carving

If you and your partner are looking for a socially distanced date, this one’s for you. If you don’t want to go to a pumpkin patch to pick your pumpkin, you can always go to your local grocery store, then you can go back home to carve and decorate your pumpkins. This a fun way to be creative and stay safe! 

Picnic

During the fall the weather is so nice outside. It’s not too hot or too cold and the most you’ll need is a small jacket. This can also be a socially distanced date at the park. You and your partner can either have fun making your lunch together for the picnic or you can go to your favorite restaurant and pick some food up there. All you need is a blanket, food and space to be socially distanced from others. This is a great way to just take time and just talk to one another while doing something different! 

Go For a Hayride 

A great date would be to go on a hayride and you can get some hot apple cider afterwards. You and your partner are able to sit close to each other and look at all the fall scenery on your route. If you’re lucky, you might be able to find a place with a pumpkin patch, hayrides and hot apple cider all in one. If you are, this would definitely be an excellent outing for the entire day. 

Baking

A fantastic date night in would be baking with each other. If you guys aren’t too good in the kitchen you can always just bake some cookies from the store but if you’re looking for a challenge you can bake a pumpkin pie or something neither of you have cooked before. This would be a great way to spend some time with your partner in the kitchen! 

Game Night

Hosting a game night is a great way for you and your partner to invite other couples and friends over. This is a great way for you and your partner to spend time with one another while also spending time with friends you may not have seen in a while. You guys can play board games, card games, or even video games. You and your partner can also spend some quality time together while preparing the food and planning the night for everyone. 

Bike Ride

A bike ride is a wonderful way for you and your partner to get some exercise while spending quality time with one another. It is also a great way to spend time outdoors to get some fresh air and see the trees and the leaves. The weather will be great for a nice bike ride. Since it’s hard to ride a bike and wear a mask, be sure you all are able to properly socially distance from others. A nice bike ride is an amazing way to work up a sweat and have a date! You could also follow this up with a picnic in the park. 

Halloween/Scary Movie Night

Since we are in the time of coronavirus and social distancing, I had to include a date that ensured you did not have to leave the house at all. For movie night all you need is your partner, your favorite way to watch a movie and some popcorn. If you have cable, Freeform has the 31 Nights of Halloween, which is a marathon of Halloween movies each day of October. If you don’t have cable or hate commercials, you can always watch a movie on your favorite streaming service. 

Go to a Fair

If you are able to find a fair that is abiding by social distancing and sanitizing requirements, this would be a great date for you and your date. This is not as safe as the other dates I listed, but if you believe you are able to stay safe this would be a lot of fun. The food, games, and rides are such a fun way to both spend time with your partner and get out of the house! 

I hope you are able to find a cute date for you and your partner (or friend) in this list! Stay safe and have fun!
