Looking to break free from Netflix nights and noisy restaurants? The Alphabet Dating series continues with the letter D. Think Dancing, Drive-in, Desserts and more. Here are five fun and original things to do on a country date that’s light, playful and full of connection.
Turn your backyard or a quiet field into a cozy outdoor cinema. All you need is a white sheet, a projector, cushions and a warm blanket. Add popcorn, soft lighting and your favorite feel-good movie. Whether it’s a classic rom-com or a nostalgic favorite, it’s the perfect way to relax and cuddle under the open sky.
Dancing by the fire
Set up a firepit or small campfire, play your favorite songs through a speaker and dance together. The setting doesn’t need to be fancy. Just let the moment guide you. Moving together in nature, with the stars above and the crackling of fire, feels surprisingly intimate and spontaneous.
Dessert crawl through local farms
Explore local farm shops, cafés or countryside bakeries and sample a new dessert at each stop. Think homemade tarts, ice cream, fruit crumbles or sweet pastries. Turn it into a playful ranking game as you taste. It’s a low-pressure, sensory-rich way to discover new spots together and enjoy something sweet.
DIY wildflower bouquet
Pick fresh wildflowers from a field or garden, then create your own bouquet together at home. It’s simple, creative and totally charming. Add a date tag and let it dry to keep as a memory of your day. This hands-on moment brings a calming kind of intimacy that sticks with you longer than photos.
Duel in the great outdoors
Play outdoor games like pétanque, horseshoes or frisbee and turn them into mini duels. For each round, the person who loses draws a dare from the Couple Game app — from a flirty challenge to a funny truth or a surprise task. It adds just the right mix of play, light teasing and connection.
