Head to the Shooting Range

A great option to spice things up or break the ice. Shooting promotes a competitive spirit as well as conversation.

Food Truck Hunt

Track down a five-course meal on the move, the modern version of hunting and gathering.

Thrift Store Challenge

Head to your favorite thrift store and pick out an outfit for the other person. You can take this seriously or just get weird with it. Bonus points for wearing your new-to-you outfits to dinner.

You Had Me at Hi-Yah

Learning a new skill together like martial arts is a fun way to bond with your significant other. Plus, a little exercise is a great precursor to a four-course dinner.
