Instead of moping around with that dreaded feeling of cold weather returning, let’s make the most of the long summer days we have left by going on some awesome dates!

Read on for some hot summer date ideas:

1. Splash around at a water park

Instead of sitting in air conditioning all day, you can stay cool, while still going outside for some fresh air. Bring your bikini and get ready to get wet! Lounge with your date in the lazy river, or showcase your adventurous side on the steepest water slide.

2. Have a picnic at the park

Get a picnic basket and prepare some delicious food. A picnic is a cheap way to impress a date, and you can make it fancy by bringing wine, watermelon, and feta cheese. Take a seat in the grass and find shapes in the clouds. Discover the top 5 aphrodisiac foods to bring on your date.

3. Go for an evening run

While it’s still warm in the evenings, put on your cutest exercise outfit and go for a run together. You’ll help motivate each other to do better.

Go to your nearest river or lake and rent a two-person kayak. Bring fun snacks in a waterproof bag and get a romantic playlist ready on your phone. There’s nothing like singing together while you’re out in nature!

5. Find an outdoor concert

There are tons of great artists to choose from during the summer. Pick an outdoor concert, whether it’s a new up-and-coming musician to discover together, or your favorite singer. There might also be a fun music festival to check out.

6. Have a beach day

Show off your itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini. Get a raft for you both to float on together. Bring paddleball with you, jump over waves together, and have a playful day in the sun.

7. Start a water fight

Beat the summer heat together by having a water fight. If you’ve got a super soaker lying around from your childhood days, fill it up and get ready for war! If not, water balloons are just as fun, if not more.

8. Go on a road trip

Choose somewhere neither of you have been before, and make an adventure out of it. Explore a new town or neighborhood together and let your hair blow in the wind on the drive there.

Playing a game together is a great way to get comfortable with each other. All that running around will get you both smiling.

Find the darkest outdoor area near you. All you need is a blanket and each other. Watching the magical night sky together will help you really get to know each other, and it will get you in the mood to talk about each other’s deepest thoughts and desires.

14. Make a rooftop movie theatre

Use your own rooftop, or find a friend who has one. Put up a sheet, make a projector out of a shoe box and your phone, and feel like you’re at a private drive-in movie theatre! Choose an old black and white movie for an extra vintage feel.

15. Spend the day at a hotel pool

Want to feel like you’re on holiday for the day? Pamper yourselves with a day at a pool. Maybe even get a couple’s massage. Relax and enjoy a luxurious day of pool, hot tub, pool, hot tub.
