10 Ways to Shake Up Date Night

Do something different

After being in a relationship for years (months, for some couples), climbing out of a dating rut can be difficult. That’s why we’re making it easy. Grab your significant other and get ready for a good—but different—time. Here are our 10 ways to shake up your date night.

Laugh it up
Crack up at a comedy club your sweetie.

Get cooking
Take a cooking class (bonus points for learning a foreign cuisine).

Take a joy-ride

Rent a fun car—a Prius, a Volkswagen Beetle, a Smart Car, a Mustang—and go for a mini–road trip.

Nighttime adventure
Get a glow-in-the-dark Frisbee and head to the park.

Partner up

Hit the dance floor salsa or two-step lessons.

Wish upon a star
Visit your local astronomy club's open-telescope night and go stargazing.

Be a spectator

Watch a new sport; try a monster-truck exhibition or a model-airplane race.

Mix up your music
Try new music. Symphony fans, visit a bluegrass club; rock-and-rollers, give chamber music a try.

Hit the rink

Go roller-skating as a fun outing.

Head out back
Camp out in the backyard for something new.
