Some Romantic Date Ideas in San Francisco

Romance is a key ingredient in any great date. After all, without the romance and chemistry you and your sweetie share, a date would just be like hanging out with a good friend. But there’s no need to fret. We’ve got you covered with plenty of romantic date ideas, from sweet (have a picnic) to sensual (getting a couple’s massage and shopping for lingerie)!

eat Spanish tapas

Spanish cuisine is cooked with passion that translates into a very romantic meal. Spanish restaurants traditionally offer tapas, which are small plates, perfect for you and your sweetie to share. Consider inviting another couple along and making it a delicious double date!

go skiing

Skiing is far and away one of the best Winter dates. Picture it: Canoodling with your honey as you ride the ski lift. Flying down the slopes, with the sun on your face and the wind in your hair. Then enjoying a delectable meal before heading back to your room to cuddle with your cutie. Talk about an amazing date!

stay at a bed and breakfast

Bed and breakfasts were designed for couples. Fall asleep in your sweetheart's arms under a thick quilt and then wake to the smell of pancakes in the morning. It has all the comforts of home with none of the work! What could be better for a romantic getaway?

eat French food

No one does romance like the French! So for your next date, whether it be a special anniversary or just another night on the town, head to a little French bistro. Start the meal with an order of escargots or French onion soup. Then share a bottle of wine with your steak and frites or duck a l'orange. Bon appetit!

go dancing

To go dancing or not to go dancing. That is…not even a question! Trust us, dancing is a fantastic date idea. You can shake what your momma gave you while also being free to get up close and personal with your sweetie. If you’re looking for romance, try ballroom dancing. If you’re in the mood for something sexy, try salsa. And for a burst of true fun, give swing dancing a try!

go ice-skating

Forgive the pun, but ice skating is a super cool date! Make it romantic by holding hands with your honey as you make your way around the rink. Even if you fall a time or two, you’re bound to have fun as long as you have a good attitude. Outdoor rinks make great Winter dates while indoor rinks allow you to have fun skating all year round!

go lingerie shopping

Looking to take your honey on a sexy date? Go lingerie shopping! This is not the best activity for a first date, of course. But, shopping for nightgowns and negligee can be a fun and saucy date with your steady sweetie, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion like an anniversary.

go on a romantic weekend getaway

Whether you hop in the car and head to a town a couple of hours away, or board a plane and take off for a distant land, you’re sure to have a relaxing and fun weekend. After all, it doesn’t really matter where you go as long as you and your honey are together!
