Social Distancing Date Ideas For Autumn

Two men sitting in a restaurant eating and laughingWhilst social distancing is still in place, how are you supposed to go on dates? Especially now autumn is here and the weather is colder, you can’t just go and sit in the park – well you can, but it might be a bit wet and cold! So what can you do?

We’ve listed some autumn friendly date ideas for you with social distancing in mind.

Book a table in a restaurant or pub

You’ll need to check local (and national) restrictions, but at the time of writing this most places are still open for you to go and have food, so if you’d like a traditional date, book somewhere nice for you to go and have a nice meal and get to know each other.

Go to a zoo or nature park

These are classic date ideas and for the most part are still possible. They’re great places to visit for plenty to see and talk about, in case you get stuck for conversation. It’s also great if you’re not keen on going somewhere indoors.

Go for a walk

Weather permitting you can still go for a walk in your local park, along the seafront or in the countryside. Just make sure you dress for the weather so you don’t get cold or ruin those new shoes!

Visit a museum or art gallery

If these are within both your interests they’re a great idea for an indoor date if you’re both comfortable with that. There’s plenty to talk about and you can bond over similar passions and interests.

Video call

Of course the safest option is still a video call date. If you’re not comfortable enough to meet yet, or if local restrictions are preventing it, then you can still have a date through the phone. Get a glass of wine and chat in the comfort of your own home.

So whether you’d rather an inside date or an outside date, we’ve got a few suggestions to try.

Dating Whilst Social Distancing

Dating has had to take a back seat for a lot of people in the current situation but it doesn’t need to stop entirely.

There are a number of ways you can still “go” dating and spend time getting to know someone, or maintaining the connection you already have.

We’ve listed a few of our favourites below for you to try!

Have a video call date

Whether you’ve never met, or you’ve been together a while, this is a great way to connect and have a decent chat. You can see each other so it’s easier to see emotions and hear tone of voice so you will see each other’s personalities. There are many different apps that offer video calling and some even have built in games that you can play!

Cook something together

You can also use video calling to do things together like cook a meal. You can both agree on what it’s going to be beforehand to give you a chance to prepare, then you can chat and cook and even eat together.

If you don’t like cooking, you could order a takeaway and eat it together on video chat, or if you’re a little adventurous (and trusting!) you could order a takeaway for each other.

Watch a movie together

If there’s something you both want to see, be it a movie or a TV series, watch it together! You can message throughout or have a conversation about it at the end to pick apart what you’ve just watched. It means you immediately have someone to talk to about something exciting happening!

Go for a walk together

Now we’re allowed to meet outside at a 2m distance, you could meet up and go for a walk round your local park or a long the seafront if you’re on the coast. It will give you chance to either get to know each other, or see each other if you’ve not been together for a long time.

Have a sexy phone call

If you’re isolated away from your partner it can be very lonely and you’ll be missing the intimate moments. It’s the perfect time to experiment with some phone sex! You can either explore fantasies or relive exciting times that you remember.

If you’re currently single and want to start dating, there are loads of guys from all over the UK chatting on Man Chat so join today!

Do You Need Some Autumn Date Ideas?

When the temperature drops in autumn it can be difficult to think of things to do on a date. We’ve listed a few below to give you some ideas.

Keep yourselves warm by going on a bike ride.
There are loads of cycle trails, find one near you and maybe even stop off for a drink along the way. The cycling is fun and will keep you warm.

If walking is more your thing, go to a local park.
The colours in autumn are beautiful, head to a park for a walk and/or a picnic and catch all the great scenery as the leaves change.

Go to a nice local pub.
If you’re feeling a little bit chilly after your walk in the park, find a nice local pub with a log fire and snuggle up beside it to warm yourselves back up.

Stay home and cook dinner.
You can either cook a meal for your partner, or you could cook or bake something together.
If you want something a bit more adventurous you could take a cooking class together and learn something new.

Find an independent local coffee shop.
There are always new coffee shops and cafés popping up so find one you’ve not tried yet. If you’re feeling brave why not try something new or even order for each other?!

Snuggle up and watch a movie.
You might not feel like going outside much as the weather gets colder. Stay inside, cuddle up with some blankets and watch your favourite movies.

Read your favourite books together.
If you both enjoy reading, you can cuddle up together and read your favourite book or that new book you keep meaning to read.
You could even recommend your favourite books and read each other’s together, stopping at interesting points to have a discussion about it.
