Date ideas for the fall
There are different “stages,” or levels, in dating. Either you’ve only known each other for a short time, are a well-established team, or it’s just the first date! You, therefore, need to assess which date idea is suitable for the depth of the connection. We guarantee one thing: you’ll have fun with every single suggestion.
1. Stroll through a flea market
Stroll and shopping in one: Strolling through a flea market is a great way to discover your dating partner’s tastes. You can have a nice chat and a coffee in between. The prerequisite for this suggestion is good weather – or you can snuggle up under a canopy if it rains.
2. Picking mushrooms
In the fall, they sprout out of the ground like nothing else: mushrooms. Picking porcini mushrooms and the like is great fun, especially as a couple. A walk in the woods turns the whole thing into a romantic experience. If the date lasts a little longer, the mushrooms can be tasted together afterward in a risotto or other dish. An all-round great date – provided one of you knows the ABC of mushrooms. Grab a basket and knife (and maybe a mushroom app to be on the safe side), and off you go.
3. Baking an apple pie
Speaking of food: The way to the heart is through the stomach. You can also bake an apple pie at your or your dating partner’s home as a literally sweet date idea. It’s apple season, so head to the market, add some butter, flour, and eggs to your basket, and it’s time for a delicious dessert for two.
4. Board game evening
If you’re not the competitive type, you can also enjoy a fun fall board game night with your date. Not only will you get to know your date quickly and well, but it will also be a lot of fun away from the digital world. The board game evening is perfect for a second or third date. There should be more room for conversation on a first date.
5. Step into a wine bar
Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or not, bars are just wonderfully cozy in the fall. Wine bars, in particular, are often designed so that you can sink into an armchair for hours, sip your glass, and philosophize about life. This idea is great for a first date or a wonderful refresher for a longer relationship. For those who don’t drink alcohol, there should always be non-alcoholic alternatives. The main thing is a cozy location.
6. Horror movie night
October is THE scary month! With Halloween on October 31, you can already kick off the horror days together. You can click and zap your way through the selection on all streaming services and free TV. To make sure the evening isn’t too short, a movie marathon is also a good idea. After all, there are many movie series in the horror genre that can fill an entire night! And if things get scary, that’s all the more reason to snuggle up.
There is even a study on this: as “Inverse” reports, the neuronal reactions and emotions when watching a movie are great for creating intense emotional experiences. And since fear and falling in love have similar intense feelings, they are often confused—lots and lots of adrenaline.
7. Browsing in a bookshop
This suggestion is calmer: intellect connects. Strolling through a bookshop is a great way to get to know your date, as you will discover what interests the person has. As a game for more advanced dating, you can also choose books for each other. This is sure to bring you closer together.
8. Make your own sushi
If it’s not apple pie, you can also try your hand at sushi. The better choice if you’re the savory type. It is best to prepare the ingredients at home so that the process is not unnecessarily complicated and you don’t despair. Making homemade, inexpensive sushi together is a great bonding experience. The dish is also suitable for vegans or vegetarians. How about pumpkin maki, for example?
9. Visit a pumpkin farm
There are pumpkin farms all over Germany. This colorful activity not only puts you in a good mood but is also not possible at any other time of year. If you feel like it, you can capture the experience on camera. You can chat while strolling around or over soup afterward.
10. Paint ceramics or make pottery
Many stores offer pottery courses or places where you can paint ceramics. These activities are perfect for a rainy fall day. You can have a nice chat and get to know how creative the other person is. You’ll also have a nice souvenir of the day.

11. Date idea in the fall: Flying a kite
Many people demonize the stormy weather in autumn. However, this is the perfect time to fly a kite! Here, too, you can unite body and mind by being out in nature together and exchanging thoughts while taking a break on a windy field or mountain. After the experience, you can make yourself comfortable in a café or restaurant.
