Some of the most amazing dates are those where you and your honey learn something together. The process of acquiring the new knowledge or skill can really bring you closer, strengthening the already tight bond you and your sweetie share. Cultural dates are the perfect opportunity for broadening your horizons. So the next time you’re looking for a cool date idea, consider going to the opera, taking ballroom dance lessons, or touring an art museum!
Seeing the monuments is the ultimate DC date! If you and your sweetie are suckers for history, consider going on a guided tour. It’s the best way to learn the inside scoop about the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and other magnificent monuments. But, if you’re looking for a more informal date, feel free to wander the monuments on your own. They are particularly spectacular at night!
Bring a little class to your next anniversary or date night out with a trip to the opera. It worked for Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, and it can work for you and your sweetie, too. After all, the music is powerful; the stories are moving; and it’s a fabulous excuse to wear your Sunday best!
Ballet gets a bad rap for being boring. But if you can get past the stereotypes, you might find that you and your honey actually enjoy the performance. After all, ballet is really just a play told through dance. So grab your sweetie and give it a chance!
If you’re looking for a romantic night out — whether it’s a special anniversary celebration or just another Wednesday night — head to a live jazz performance. With some cool music and a cool drink, this makes for one smooth date!
On your next anniversary, consider taking your sweetie out on a fancy date with a trip to the theater. Whether you enjoy serious drama or more light-hearted tales, you’re sure to find a show to your liking. And you’ll earn major props from your honey for thinking outside the box!
Without a doubt, it’s thrilling when your favorite big name singer comes to town. But the tickets for headliners tend to be a bit expensive. If you and your honey want the fun of a live musical performance but don’t have a ton of cash to spend, check out a local band. We guarantee you’ll be entertained!
Watching a belly dancing performance is a surefire way to spice up date night. Who knows? When you get home, you and your sweetie might want to try it out for yourselves. Trust us, belly dancing is sultry and fun!
From art to science to history, museums provide endless opportunities for you and your honey to learn new things. And, as you wander from exhibit to exhibit, don’t be surprised to find yourself in deep conversation with your sweetie. Just a few reasons why museums make marvelous date destinations!
We love mainstream romantic comedies and action flicks as much as any couple. But sometimes we long to see something other than big blockbusters, which are often over-hyped. That’s why we love going to see indie films. From offbeat comedies to dramatic foreign films, indie movies always make for an entertaining and thought-provoking date!
Taking a stroll through centuries-old paintings might not scream hot date to you. But, trust us, art galleries are ripe for romance. Art museums are often dimly lit to protect and preserve the paintings and photographs on display. An added benefit? The dim lighting, combined with lots of quiet, secluded corners, makes for a very romantic setting. So go ahead and steal a kiss from your sweetie in front of the Seurat. We won’t tell!
