These 10 autumn date ideas include five cosy activities at home and five simple plans outdoors. Cook with seasonal ingredients, answer questions under a blanket, take a flask on a colourful walk or visit a pumpkin patch. Choose the idea that suits your time, energy and weather.
Dates at home — warm, cosy and romantic
- An evening of wine and questions for couples. Put together a cheese board, open a bottle of wine, and try the questions in the coupleroom app. It is a great way to talk about the things you never think to ask.
- A home cinema with atmosphere. Hot chocolate, a blanket and a film. You can even put it to a vote: romantic comedy or thriller?
- Cooking with seasonal produce. Autumn means pumpkin, apples and pears. Try cooking together, or turn it into a contest for who makes the better dish.
- A round of fantasies. In coupleroom you will find the Fantasies deck — ideal for adding a little heat to the season.
- Questions under a blanket. Light some candles and answer questions from the cosy-evening deck. It is simple, and it works.
Dates outdoors — catch the autumn mood
- A walk through autumn colours. A forest full of golden leaves plus a flask of coffee makes for a simple, very romantic date.
- An autumn picnic. A blanket, some cider and cinnamon tea. Even on colder days it works beautifully.
- A trip to a pumpkin patch. Pick a pumpkin, decorate it together at home, and take photos.
- A café taste test. Autumn is pumpkin spice latte season. Discover a café neither of you has been to.
- An evening walk through town. Warm cups in hand and a walk among the autumn lights — obvious, and it still works.
