@@RuthandThomas I found it on my Roadside America App. It’s a regular funeral home that I have been to several times before. No one believed me. There are no ads for it either. So I called and had to set it up with the Funeral Director and they were so nice. Only caveat is if a last second funeral happens, you’ll have to reschedule. So fun yet very creepy. Especially since it is in the basement and next to the embalming room. One of our greatest finds.
Hahaha oh my goodness... I just found it.. Ahlgrim Acres in Pallatine!! Hahaha it looks so fun and spooky. It is now very much on the bucket list. Is it free!? Wow. Mini Golf in a funeral home. Did the funeral director give you guys a background history of why they put a golf course in their funeral home??
@@RuthandThomas It is free but we bought a bunch of shirts to help support them. They even gave us pops and snacks. The guy who owned it started with a 1 hole and kept growing. Much smaller town before. If I wasn’t going to turn myself it into a diamond after I die, I would go there.
I have a massage table and will surprise my husband with a spa day at home, a nice shower after (together of course) and then a marathon of our favorite movies
Why when you said "paint your partner" I thought we would literally be painting on each others skin 😂 like hes going to make me a tiger or simething 🤣🐯
Haha you can certainly try that out as well! You might want to use skin-safe paint, but other than that it sounds like a great date night and really just hilarious 🤣🤣 .. now I want to be a tiger...
I used to think that way. But I disagree. From the first moment, from the first date you've got to give her off a good first impression. Which means to have an arsenal of plans ready to deploy even before the whole thing starts.
Rule number one, "get a girlfriend". Did all mentioned in this video before youtube came about. My message; you do what's in this video your going to have memories that will bring about smiles, laughs, warm feelings that'll last a lifetime, and maybe a wife or two, hopefully just one special gal.
We ALWAYS love all of your date ideas and it was great to see them again and some of the ones we have missed previously. We have tried a couple of them and cant wait to still try out more. They are so much fun and we recommend that all couples should try them out , as they are so unique and different from the norm. ONE LOVE
Still remember how much we geeked out when we saw you'd made a video about our travel the world date idea! You seriously made our MONTH and we had so much fun watching it.
Love all these ideas!! Going to make our way through them all, but top of our list have to be Chopped Challenge and Hot Air Balloon!! Those sound so amazing!
Yeah! You guys should totally do the chopped one. The nice thing about it is that you don't even have to spend money, you can just use whatever crazy ingredients you have on hand! And we couldn't recommend a hot air balloon ride enough, so calm and peaceful - yet just crazy to be floating hundreds of feet off the ground!
@@RuthandThomas So true about chopped--that's what adds those hard elements! And we definitely want to look into hot air balloons around us, but will definitely have to wait for the spring/summer as Iowa winter is brutal still right now hahah we are just finishing up our blizzard warning hahah
@@CawiezellCrew 😳😳I cannot imagine what it would be like to go ballooning in a blizzard, I'd probably just throw my hands up and surrender to the elements hahaha - and wow! Kinda jealous.. we haven't had any substantial snow all year...
So glad you enjoyed it! We love being able to make content like this that hopefully inspires people to get out of their comfort zone and try new things! Thanks for checking out our channel. ❤
Living your room! Very cute style. And thankful for these tips. We tried the paining one and failed miserably! Hahaha Thinking about the staycation though. Yes to the chopped challenge!!!! LOVE this. You guys are quite creative I have to say. Would love to do the camping one too. Great ideas guys!!
That's awesome that you tried the painting ones!! Can we see how they turned out?? If you get a chance, send us a photo on Instagram! We would love to see! Really glad you enjoyed all the ideas. We have so much fun coming up with them! Thanks for watching. 😀
Hot air balloon ...it's like 1,000 dollars... it made me wanna cry because I dream about it all the time and it literally is on my bucket list. But yeah I do love this video.
It's definitely a pricey excursion!! Something you'd probably have to save up for. But, if you can find a group balloon ride they're often a lot cheaper. And maybe if you go in the off season too? Anyway, we're so glad you liked our video! Thanks for watching & commenting!!
Hi Ruth and Thomas! I think you are quickly becoming one of our favorite channels. :) Love all these ideas! I think my favorites are the sunrise picnic and the winter outdoor movie. Jen xo
Wow, thank you for your kind words!! We're so glad we got connected! Hope you were able find new ideas/inspiration for some date nights. ❤ Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your week!
Thanks! We hadn’t ever tried anything like that before and it was honestly pretty hard 😆 But it forced us to collaborate on something artistic and now we have a fun song to look back on!

I always take my dates for a day at the amusement park. I want to make sure they are up for a variety of thrills! Have you two been to Six Flags St. Louis or Great America in Chicago? Or maybe even Holiday World in Indiana?
Ooh, that's a great idea! I used to LOVE amusement parks. Not sure about now that I'm old and get headaches and have bad joints... But... 😅 I (Ruth) have been to Six Flags STL, not sure about Thomas, but have not been to Great America or Holiday World!! Would you recommend?
@@RuthandThomas I've been on over 300 roller coasters in 25 states and Canada. Six Flags Great America is a fun larger park with some smooth steel coasters, but it can get crowded. Holiday World has a great atmosphere and is actually known for its award wining waterpark along with its wood coasters, which can be a little rough. It doesn't have quite as large crowds. One I haven't been to yet, but is on the shortlist is Silver Dollar City in Branson MO. A good variety of coasters "with down-home charm" This should fall between the other two in park size and crowds. Check out coast2coaster for a map of all the operating roller coasters world wide.
I don't know why but my first thought for "paint your partner" was literally getting a paintbrush and covering them in paint... I don't know why that was what I assumed you were about to say 😂 He would probably be more likely to go for your version of paint your partner.
Now there's an idea!! Haha that's actually something we considered after we saw them do it a couples times on The Bachelor.. but then we thought it might be too intimate or romantic of a date to make a video about lol. Something about painting another person and rolling around on a canvas just doesn't seem family friendly... 😂
Dear friends! Your channel is awesome! Amazing! I like! Thank you for your hard work! Thanks for sharing! God bless you! I wish you happiness every day!
These are some really great ideas guys! My favorite was 'Chopped'! For sure going to try this out. The outdoor movie one sounds fun, haha at least you don't have to deal with as many bugs as in the summer. Hot Air Balloon rides are always a great idea! There really is nothing in the world like it! Cheers guys!
Yes!! You should totally try Chopped! We've done that date 4 times now and we're always surprised at the delicious and weird dishes that come out of it. And really good point about the bugs... Should have included that in the video! Our backyard is a mosquito haven in the summer, so no bugs is a BIG plus. Thank you guys for watching and commenting!!
We've done beach picnics with our little boys, usually at sunset, not sunrise, but it might be fun to try early morning picnic sometime. Painting date night, we've done that one at home, but we should do it again! The acrobatic yoga thing...would be very much a fail for me, haha!
Haha yeah we had a pretty rough time with the couples yoga thing.. but yes you should try to go out and see the sunrise sometime! We had never made a breakfast picnic before, but it was so fun to be able to watch the sunrise and have breakfast all prepared for us on the hill. Truly one of the best ways to welcome the morning (tho it may be harder to coordinate with a handful of kids) 😊Do you guys have a place that you like to watch the sunrise??
Hi Ruth, maybe you already know that Deadpool & Wolverine movie were released several days ago. I took this one girl for our 1st blind date watching that movie ... at the 2nd thought I think that movie is not really suitable for a blind date. So do you think the movie is suitable for blind date?
Love all these ideas..really unique!! Still really interested in trying the sunrise picnic but I'm worried that it will mess up my body clock haha! And I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride!! Thanks for sharing these great ideas!! 🙏🏻💙
Hahaha yeah... Ruth might have fallen back asleep as soon as we got back home - can't mess up that body clock! 😆 And you should really do it some time if you ever get the chance - we thought it would be fun and interesting, but we had no idea just how cool it would really be. We started lifting off the ground and didn't even notice, and honestly - if we had kept our eyes closed the whole time we might not have even noticed that we were in the air. It was so smooth and peaceful; truly a remarkable experience!
AHH! The beginning of your dating journey can be such an exciting time. We're honored that you love our ideas and would love to know how the ideas work out for you! And after you've tested them you'll have to tell us which one is your favorite?!
@@saadiathomas638 Lovev's life true love Never die I know a great and powerful healer that can get back your ex or crua without delay Just forever within 48hours he helped me too immediately
Oh good! You guys definitely should try some of them out.. Most of them are relatively cheap and easy to do, but I (Thomas) cannot recommend going on a hot air balloon ride enough - it was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Let us know if you guys try any of them while out on the open road!
You guys totally should!! It was such a bizarre experience because it was so smooth and quiet. Because you are floating along with the wind currents, there is no wind! It was so bizarre it was like we were just legitimately floating. You guys would love it. Do you know when you'll be able to be together again? And do you guys have a date for when you want to get married??
@@RuthandThomas bet it was!! Unsure at the moment since UK is in national lockdown and US is not open to non residents so who knows.. But November this year will be our wedding!!
We did a draw ur partner in art class and so that it wasn’t bad we made it abstract by putting a plate around the pencil so u couldn’t see what u were drawing on ur paper and all u could look at was ur partner
Thanks so much!! We're really glad you enjoy them. 😄 We try to come up with dates that are entertaining for you to watch but also easy to replicate! Let us know if you ever give any of them a try!
Thanks! We enjoy just encouraging people to find adventures in their every day experiences and are glad you enjoyed this video. Here's to more adventures to come in 2021!
We actually got them from my sister! She had them when she was in college and was getting rid of them - so we decided to take them off her hands. We've used them so much because they're so comfy and portable! We found some similar ones on Amazon, butI think she originally got hers from Walmart and the brand is "Big Joe"
Happy 2021!!!! I think Covid-19 is the 19 pounds Have gained 🤣. Thanks for some of these throw back dates ideas. Some of these I have not seen. Oh man, you guys have some painting skills. I’ll have to try some of these out. The pose video was my first video I saw of you guys and I was hooked.
Aw thanks! Hahaha yeah... both of us had a hard time maintaining any semblance of fitness through Covid, but we’ve started again and will hopefully stick to our New Years resolutions 🙏🏼😆 it’s pretty crazy to look back on some of our first dates that were almost a full year ago and just see how much we changed and grew in 2020. We are so grateful for your support. Happy 2021!!
Thanks for sharing your great ideas 🙏 They are so lovely 🥰 I propose for the 3 ingredients diner idea for on friday and that make laugh my crush, a big thanks for that 💯
Yes!! Thank you so much for your support :) .. Haha it's a date night we've done multiple times with each other and we never know how it's going to turn out. If you do this one you should let us know how it goes and what you make!!
Hi @@RuthandThomas ! I hope you had a great weekend ! The 3 ingredients were tofu, spinach and sweet potato ! So I made : - mapo tofu (personal reminder for next time : avoid spicy meal) => th-cam.com/video/2i1UFiDY61U/w-d-xo.html - spinach riccota samosa =>th-cam.com/video/iJH4tTmBA9A/w-d-xo.html - buns with sweet potato&spinach => th-cam.com/video/TLkVHYnb4b8/w-d-xo.html By the way we have try to make a creative activity call "zentengle", it's beetween meditation & drawing and result are not too bad actually ! Thanks again for the idea, that was a great moment 😊
@@solannpuygrenier6931 oh that's so cool! I used to love doodling patterns similar to zentangle when I was in school! It's so relaxing and definitely the type of drawing that Ruth loves. She's a huge fan of geometric shapes and patterns so maybe we should try a zentangle date night too! .. and that food sounds absolutely amazing. Wow. You were so creative with your dishes!
😬 Yeah, it's definitely one of the most grand experiences we've ever done. We don't like to really get each other gifts, but instead like to use our money for the occasional really awesome experience we can do together. That being said, it's not the kind of thing everyone can afford - but if you get the chance - it was, to this day, one of the most magical mornings of our lives! 🎈😊
Thank you! Yeah, we had fun with the normal Netflix and dinner date but found that it wasn’t as fun or interesting as trying out new things together. Adventure is out there and it’s exciting to discover it with a partner! 😁😁
Just an FYI, for anyone looking for just the list, there are timestamps in her video....... You're welcome....... You can scroll back up to the video now. No need to thank either, I'm just your average git crusader
Hmmmm sunrise picnic. Not sure thats a good idea here lol not even allowed to meet for a coffee without a fine due to lockdown. Being serious though great ideas 💡 👌 👍 we had 4 staycations in 2020.
Woah, you guys are in serious lockdown! Where are y'all from in the UK? I will say, coffee shops are probably the thing I miss MOST since lockdown started. Well that, and travel!! How cool that you were able to do 4 staycations! Did you stay at an airbnb or a hotel?
@@RuthandThomas well Ruth it was a real mixup aof staycations. We mainly stayed in mobile homes during the year. We were due to go to France in August but at the very last minute 10pm we were due to leave at 4am the goverment banned travel. So we had everything cancelled. That very next day we drove to Scotland. First we stayed in a hotel then more mobile homes. We live in Nottinghamshire England :) we visited East Coast, Devon, Scotland, and a weekend in Cumbria. This year will be Cornwall, Lincolnshire, France, Norfolk, Devon! No further im afraid. Yes our lockdoqn is very strict right now.
@@RaymondoLeeTravel Wow, how cool that you're just able to DRIVE to Scotland!! Wish it was that easy for us. International travel rarely involves driving in the US because our country is so massive! I'm always jealous of you Europeans and your ability to country hop. And you have airlines like Ryan Air that are super cheap!!
Hi guys! I love some of these ideas, my boyfriend is blind and I’ve been looking for romantic things we can do together that aren’t very loud or visual. Let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks for these ones.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching our video. Some low-key things we've done that I can think of off the top of my head have been trivia nights or doing those Buzzfeed quizzes together, taste-testing the same food item from different fast-food restaurants and ranking them, recreating some of our favorite things to do as children, or surprising each other with a spa night - whoever comes home from work first draws a bath, lights some candles, plays quiet music, gets out the essential oils, gets out partner's favorite snacks. Hope some of these help, but we'll let you know if we think of more!
Oh! And one of our favorite ideas we've done a few times is picking a completely random country and we "travel to it for the evening". That means we research a little about the country, learn some key phrases in their national language, make a meal inspired by foods they eat, and listen to music from the region! It's really fun and you end up learning a lot!
Hello! Thanks for watching our video! We are 2 midwesterners who try to find adventure wherever we can. Knowing that it can be hard to do other things beyond pizza and a movie for date night, we set out to create and try unique date ideas that would challenge us and build our relationship. We decided to record them to keep a living diary for ourselves and share the ideas with friends and family. Our channel is filled with 50+ different adventures and ideas that most people can use to bring spice to their own relationships. This video was made to share some of our favorites of the past year, but is certainly not all encompassing. If you have other date ideas we would certainly love to hear them! We are always willing to learn and try new things :)
That's a good question! We actually started off our relationship as a long-distance couple and had to get pretty creative with dating. We would write letters and send drawings in the mail - snail-mail style. We also would get dressed up all fancy for Skype calls and I know some people that start a video call and then try to cook the same meal together - or watch the same movie. And if you're meeting your online boyfriend in person for the first time, we are always big fans of getting coffee or doing something low-key like going for a walk / playing a board game / going to a festival so you have time to get to know each other. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the feedback! Haha we actually did do 3 of these dates in the first month of our dating, (we even did the chopped one and sunrise picnic before we even started dating) but understand if people enjoy getting to know each other in other ways. Thanks for watching anyway!
It's such a good show! I love how it seems like every character is going to be a stereotype and kinda 2 dimensional - but as it goes on the characters become really endearing and experience their own growth. It's so fun - It might be time to watch it all the way through again 😆
Hahaha while she is definitely worth it.. it can be an expensive experience if you want it to be. We never thought we would be able to do something like this and were absolutely amazed when we got the opportunity - IT WAS SPECTACULAR. And actually, the company we went through - Bloomington Balloon Rides - offers rates as low as $125 - $225 and their private Hot Air Balloon flight is only $700!
Oh I’m sorry to hear that 😕 But maybe a date night would be good for you guys! 🤷🏼♂️ It might just be nice for her to see you trying to be romantic and show her that you still care for her! Hope things get better for you guys ☺️
From the year 2000 to 2016, there were 21 fatalities from hot air balloon crashes and accidents. Hot air balloons account for the least amount of deaths in a major flying machine every year!
@@RuthandThomas thanks Ruth. What needs to be done is to divide that number by the total number of passengers. And compare that to driving or flying just saying there's 21 deaths over those years is not as helpful
We're always looking for fresh, creative date ideas! Do you have any go-to's or ideas you'd like to see us try? Drop us a comment! Happy 2021 y'all! 😍
Mini Gold at the basement of a funeral home was my favorite. When you are up north, could be a double date 🤣
@@SantosChronicles Hahaha what on Earth?? This sounds like a story that needs to be shared... I have so many questions...
@@RuthandThomas I found it on my Roadside America App. It’s a regular funeral home that I have been to several times before. No one believed me. There are no ads for it either.

Truly one of the best ways to welcome the morning (tho it may be harder to coordinate with a handful of kids) 😊Do you guys have a place that you like to watch the sunrise??
Hi Ruth, maybe you already know that Deadpool & Wolverine movie were released several days ago. I took this one girl for our 1st blind date watching that movie ... at the 2nd thought I think that movie is not really suitable for a blind date. So do you think the movie is suitable for blind date?
Suitable if your a teenager.
Love all these ideas..really unique!! Still really interested in trying the sunrise picnic but I'm worried that it will mess up my body clock haha! And I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride!! Thanks for sharing these great ideas!! 🙏🏻💙
Hahaha yeah... Ruth might have fallen back asleep as soon as we got back home - can't mess up that body clock! 😆 And you should really do it some time if you ever get the chance - we thought it would be fun and interesting, but we had no idea just how cool it would really be. We started lifting off the ground and didn't even notice, and honestly - if we had kept our eyes closed the whole time we might not have even noticed that we were in the air. It was so smooth and peaceful; truly a remarkable experience!
i loveeeee these ideas i’m gonna do these 😂💗 thanks 🙏
Oh good! Let us know how it goes!
3:30 Is everyone ignoring the fact that she’s caring him😭
😆😆

You guys are THE cutest couple
Well thank you!! We definitely have fun together!!
These all sound like fun, we look forward to attempting/trying them out!!!!
Oh good! You guys definitely should try some of them out.. Most of them are relatively cheap and easy to do, but I (Thomas) cannot recommend going on a hot air balloon ride enough - it was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Let us know if you guys try any of them while out on the open road!
@@RuthandThomas for sure!!!
Awesome date ideas my friend. Happy New Year. Stay connected
So glad you enjoyed them! Happy New Year to you too! Have a great rest of your week.
Omg, Jon drew me once and it was comically bad. He definitely needs lessons! 😅
Haha that's awesome!! Did you keep it? Frame it and put it above the mantle? 😂
@@RuthandThomas I took a photo, but it's not fit for human consumption 🤣🤣🤣
@@BucketListTravellers Hahaha it sounds amazing!! Well if you ever decide to share it with the world, we want to be the first to know!! 🤣
Interesting channel! I enjoyed watching your video...
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you were inspired to try some of these yourself!
Definitely awesome date ideas! Would love to experience the hot air balloon once we get a chance to be together again for sure!
You guys totally should!! It was such a bizarre experience because it was so smooth and quiet. Because you are floating along with the wind currents, there is no wind! It was so bizarre it was like we were just legitimately floating. You guys would love it. Do you know when you'll be able to be together again? And do you guys have a date for when you want to get married??
@@RuthandThomas bet it was!! Unsure at the moment since UK is in national lockdown and US is not open to non residents so who knows.. But November this year will be our wedding!!
We actually haven't watched Schitt's Creek! That might be one of the date night's we'll do 😂 Binge watch that show! Lol.
Yes!! You should do it! It's so bingeable haha. Only 20 minute episodes and like 6 seasons I think!
i fully watched your video just to find the best date ideas great sharing stay connected my friend
That's awesome! Thanks for watching! Hope you're able to do some of the date ideas. 😀
Looking for a date hehe
Call it abstract 🤣🤣 love this!
Haha a lot of our art ends up being more on the abstract side... 😆
@@RuthandThomas I’m not artistic AT ALL so mine definitely would be too... my toddler can probably draw better than me🤣
We did a draw ur partner in art class and so that it wasn’t bad we made it abstract by putting a plate around the pencil so u couldn’t see what u were drawing on ur paper and all u could look at was ur partner
Oh that's so fun!! Those always turn out hilarious!
Your date night ideas are always fun looking forward to the next videos in the series.
Thanks so much!! We're really glad you enjoy them. 😄 We try to come up with dates that are entertaining for you to watch but also easy to replicate! Let us know if you ever give any of them a try!
@@RuthandThomas Will do 👍
Thanks 🙏 for sharing my friend
Of course! It's always fun to share some of our experiences and hope others replicate them. Thanks for the support.
thumbs up i like hot air ballon sis amiga i want to try this cool
You totally should give it a try! It was one of the coolest experiences of our lives! And you'll get some really memorable photos.
nice pillow
hahaha thanks! Don't even remember where we got it...
Hello dear 😊 happy New Year 🎉🥳🎉 really enjoyed your video & thanks for all your ideas 😍 I hope to see you soon 😘 stay safe & blessed 🌺

Thanks! We enjoy just encouraging people to find adventures in their every day experiences and are glad you enjoyed this video. Here's to more adventures to come in 2021!
Where did you get those chairs for picnic date?
We actually got them from my sister! She had them when she was in college and was getting rid of them - so we decided to take them off her hands. We've used them so much because they're so comfy and portable! We found some similar ones on Amazon, butI think she originally got hers from Walmart and the brand is "Big Joe"
Merci!
Thank YOU!! We truly appreciate the support!
Love it
Yay thanks so much!!
Happy 2021!!!! I think Covid-19 is the 19 pounds Have gained 🤣. Thanks for some of these throw back dates ideas. Some of these I have not seen. Oh man, you guys have some painting skills. I’ll have to try some of these out. The pose video was my first video I saw of you guys and I was hooked.
Aw thanks! Hahaha yeah... both of us had a hard time maintaining any semblance of fitness through Covid, but we’ve started again and will hopefully stick to our New Years resolutions 🙏🏼😆 it’s pretty crazy to look back on some of our first dates that were almost a full year ago and just see how much we changed and grew in 2020. We are so grateful for your support. Happy 2021!!

They are so lovely 🥰
I propose for the 3 ingredients diner idea for on friday and that make laugh my crush, a big thanks for that 💯
Yes!! Thank you so much for your support :) .. Haha it's a date night we've done multiple times with each other and we never know how it's going to turn out. If you do this one you should let us know how it goes and what you make!!
Hi @@RuthandThomas ! I hope you had a great weekend !
The 3 ingredients were tofu, spinach and sweet potato !
So I made :
- mapo tofu (personal reminder for next time : avoid spicy meal) => th-cam.com/video/2i1UFiDY61U/w-d-xo.html
- spinach riccota samosa =>th-cam.com/video/iJH4tTmBA9A/w-d-xo.html
- buns with sweet potato&spinach => th-cam.com/video/TLkVHYnb4b8/w-d-xo.html
By the way we have try to make a creative activity call "zentengle", it's beetween meditation & drawing and result are not too bad actually !
Thanks again for the idea, that was a great moment 😊
@@solannpuygrenier6931 oh that's so cool! I used to love doodling patterns similar to zentangle when I was in school! It's so relaxing and definitely the type of drawing that Ruth loves. She's a huge fan of geometric shapes and patterns so maybe we should try a zentangle date night too! .. and that food sounds absolutely amazing. Wow. You were so creative with your dishes!
You aren’t kidding about the last idea being grand.. closest one to me is $600-800 for 2 😳
😬 Yeah, it's definitely one of the most grand experiences we've ever done. We don't like to really get each other gifts, but instead like to use our money for the occasional really awesome experience we can do together. That being said, it's not the kind of thing everyone can afford - but if you get the chance - it was, to this day, one of the most magical mornings of our lives! 🎈😊
these ideas are so fun and really great! thanks for this video!
Thank you! Yeah, we had fun with the normal Netflix and dinner date but found that it wasn’t as fun or interesting as trying out new things together. Adventure is out there and it’s exciting to discover it with a partner! 😁😁
good video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks guys! It was fun to look back on some of our favorite dates over the past year 😁
@@RuthandThomas of course, so in an argument, just show your significant other the video all the fun time together ❤
outside winter movie in canada?? idk bout that one
Haha it might be a little too cold up there! Maybe stick to summer!
Just an FYI, for anyone looking for just the list, there are timestamps in her video....... You're welcome....... You can scroll back up to the video now. No need to thank either, I'm just your average git crusader
👍👍👍
Hmmmm sunrise picnic. Not sure thats a good idea here lol not even allowed to meet for a coffee without a fine due to lockdown. Being serious though great ideas 💡 👌 👍 we had 4 staycations in 2020.
Woah, you guys are in serious lockdown! Where are y'all from in the UK? I will say, coffee shops are probably the thing I miss MOST since lockdown started. Well that, and travel!! How cool that you were able to do 4 staycations! Did you stay at an airbnb or a hotel?
@@RuthandThomas well Ruth it was a real mixup aof staycations. We mainly stayed in mobile homes during the year. We were due to go to France in August but at the very last minute 10pm we were due to leave at 4am the goverment banned travel. So we had everything cancelled. That very next day we drove to Scotland. First we stayed in a hotel then more mobile homes. We live in Nottinghamshire England :) we visited East Coast, Devon, Scotland, and a weekend in Cumbria. This year will be Cornwall, Lincolnshire, France, Norfolk, Devon! No further im afraid. Yes our lockdoqn is very strict right now.
@@RaymondoLeeTravel Wow, how cool that you're just able to DRIVE to Scotland!! Wish it was that easy for us. International travel rarely involves driving in the US because our country is so massive! I'm always jealous of you Europeans and your ability to country hop. And you have airlines like Ryan Air that are super cheap!!
@@RuthandThomas yeah Ryanair, jet2, wizzair all cheap way to travel. Have a great day :)
Hi guys! I love some of these ideas, my boyfriend is blind and I’ve been looking for romantic things we can do together that aren’t very loud or visual. Let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks for these ones.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching our video. Some low-key things we've done that I can think of off the top of my head have been trivia nights or doing those Buzzfeed quizzes together, taste-testing the same food item from different fast-food restaurants and ranking them, recreating some of our favorite things to do as children, or surprising each other with a spa night - whoever comes home from work first draws a bath, lights some candles, plays quiet music, gets out the essential oils, gets out partner's favorite snacks.
Hope some of these help, but we'll let you know if we think of more!
Oh! And one of our favorite ideas we've done a few times is picking a completely random country and we "travel to it for the evening". That means we research a little about the country, learn some key phrases in their national language, make a meal inspired by foods they eat, and listen to music from the region! It's really fun and you end up learning a lot!
I'm going on my second date haha
Woo hoo!! Sounds like things went well on the first one!!
@@RuthandThomas i did the one where i write the story and he fill in the blanks it was hilarious
@@TishFaux That's amazing that you did that one!! We had SO MUCH fun doing it ourselves. I'm glad it turned out hilarious! 😂
doing a 2022 one soon? hehe
We would love to! We've actually found out that we're pregnant so we'll have to do a Date Ideas video for parents of a newborn!
Who's else is here in 2022? Me!!
Woot woot! Thanks for watching!
Extremely corny but I have to do it for my girl 😭
You totally should! Corny is good. :)
im so uncompfy with the way you play the violin.. i just know how easily that bridge can pop out if its not propped up just right
Never had that happen to me!
Liked.. Thanks for sharing😎👍💕
Enjoyed with full >=3:00 😎👍💕view
Thanks for watching!
I love the paint your partner 💕10-25-21
Aw we like that one as well! We've done it a few times before and it's always fun to see what the other comes up with!
Dating the same person is not grounds to think your dating ideas work with other people.
Hello! Thanks for watching our video! We are 2 midwesterners who try to find adventure wherever we can. Knowing that it can be hard to do other things beyond pizza and a movie for date night, we set out to create and try unique date ideas that would challenge us and build our relationship. We decided to record them to keep a living diary for ourselves and share the ideas with friends and family.
Our channel is filled with 50+ different adventures and ideas that most people can use to bring spice to their own relationships. This video was made to share some of our favorites of the past year, but is certainly not all encompassing. If you have other date ideas we would certainly love to hear them! We are always willing to learn and try new things :)
bold of u to assume somebody wants to do these w me
hahaha this comment wins.
over looking the "city"
Hahaha yeah... springfield doesn't have too much to offer by way of skyline, but you can see the capital and some cool downtown buildings!
Florida doesn't do winter
We're jealous of that for sure!!
What do I do if I’m meeting my online boyfriend??
That's a good question! We actually started off our relationship as a long-distance couple and had to get pretty creative with dating. We would write letters and send drawings in the mail - snail-mail style. We also would get dressed up all fancy for Skype calls and I know some people that start a video call and then try to cook the same meal together - or watch the same movie. And if you're meeting your online boyfriend in person for the first time, we are always big fans of getting coffee or doing something low-key like going for a walk / playing a board game / going to a festival so you have time to get to know each other. Hope this helps!
First date for two middle agers?.. actually I'm an artist, I'd enjoy drawing her for fun, maybe that's not appropriate on first date?
Maybe not a first date, but definitely down the line when you know each other a little better!
I’m sorry I’m not trying to be rude if your just starting off in a relationship these are not for you at all
Thanks for the feedback! Haha we actually did do 3 of these dates in the first month of our dating, (we even did the chopped one and sunrise picnic before we even started dating) but understand if people enjoy getting to know each other in other ways. Thanks for watching anyway!
yesss! we love this content! found you through annie! would love if we could support eachother?! ❤️
Thanks for supporting our channel! We’ll check yours out. 😁

Luv Schitts Creek. Gay rights!
It's such a good show! I love how it seems like every character is going to be a stereotype and kinda 2 dimensional - but as it goes on the characters become really endearing and experience their own growth. It's so fun - It might be time to watch it all the way through again 😆

Very expensive
Must have about $1000 for a private Hot Air Balloon ride...make sure she's worth it.
Hahaha while she is definitely worth it.. it can be an expensive experience if you want it to be. We never thought we would be able to do something like this and were absolutely amazed when we got the opportunity - IT WAS SPECTACULAR. And actually, the company we went through - Bloomington Balloon Rides - offers rates as low as $125 - $225 and their private Hot Air Balloon flight is only $700!
I wish my wife was fun but we argue too much to be romantic 😕
Oh I’m sorry to hear that 😕 But maybe a date night would be good for you guys! 🤷🏼♂️ It might just be nice for her to see you trying to be romantic and show her that you still care for her! Hope things get better for you guys ☺️
Publish fatality rate for hot air rides
From the year 2000 to 2016, there were 21 fatalities from hot air balloon crashes and accidents. Hot air balloons account for the least amount of deaths in a major flying machine every year!
@@RuthandThomas thanks Ruth. What needs to be done is to divide that number by the total number of passengers. And compare that to driving or flying just saying there's 21 deaths over those years is not as helpful
