With summer right around the corner and love in the air, it is time to get out there and go on some fun and exciting dates. But with so much to do, you may be asking yourselves, what are the best things to take your significant other to do? Well, I am glad you asked. Here, are ten great and solid ideas to get the romance brewing and get outside the box.

1. Baseball Game
Take your boyfriend or girlfriend to the ballpark for a good old game of America’s past time. With it being summer, this is one of the best things you can do, and the best thing is it doesn’t necessarily have to be a pro game, go and check out a minor league team too. Plus, with so much down time over nine innings, you two can talk about anything you want.

2. Concert
Take your love out to a good show. With so many great festivals out there like Warped Tour, Bonnaroo, Oz Fest, and more, as well as many local shows in your area at the local club, there is bound to be plenty of fun bands to go and check out that will bond the two of you together.

3. Road Trip
In my opinion, nothing brings a couple together more than the open road. So, hop in the car, grab some snacks, and just drive to the nearest town or even farther and see the sights that those other towns have to offer.

4. Stargazing
This is probably one of the more romantic ones that you can do. Grab a blanket, a bottle of wine or a six-pack, and lay down in a field outside of town. While there, just watch the stars as you hold each other close. This is guaranteed to be a fun and cozy night.

5. Museum
Go out and open your mind a little. The two of you will love seeing dinosaurs, interesting exhibits and many, many more vastly interesting things.

6. Bonfire
Another way to get in touch with nature could be burning it to the ground. Let your inner pyros come out and set fire to a big thing of wood, grab a couple drinks and enjoy a great summer evening. This one also goes great with stargazing.

7. Fishing
Maybe this one is the Midwestern kid in me, but nothing brings about good conversation with my girl then a fishing pole, a lake, and the two of us talking about life, love, and everything in between.

8. Mini-Golf
Two of the greatest words in the history of the English language, plus, some friendly competition for a date is always a good thing.

9. State or County Fair
Nothing brings a couple together better than the fair. There are rides, funnel cake, and in some rare instances there are demolition derbies, which, in my view, are awesome. Plus there are usually free concerts at these, which are always good and can bring you two closer together.

10. Camping

If you loved going and doing the fishing and the stargazing, then why not make it a whole night? Grab a tent, two sleeping bags, or one if your feeling risky, and watch the night sky together. When you wake, gentlemen, its in good form to cook for your significant other.

Whatever you do, though, make sure your safe and to have fun. Now get out there and have some fun with your boyfriend or girlfriend and enjoy the Summer!
