Football season’s starting so get ready for some tailgating! Equip yourself with snacks, drinks, and your best game-day gear and cheer on your favorite team together.

7. Go organic shopping

Go to a farmers market and buy seasonal breads because the weather is perfect and you two lovebirds deserve it. Taste stuff, try stuff, then come back home and cook stuff, and finally sit down and stuff yourselves with stuff. Now that’s a date! Not to mention a good chance to gauge each other’s shopping habits.

8. Try the supernatural

Have a seance and then strategize about how to get demons to stop following you around. Feeling extra brave? Go on a ghost tour with your girlfriend. Brownie points for hand holding!

9. Have a bonfire

The nights are just the right amount of cold. Under the starry sky, sit by a bonfire and stay close to each other. Toast some marshmallows, make some s’mores, maybe even serenade your partner and then get cozy under a blanket and talk late into the night. The simplest fall activities for couples are often the best ones.

10. Enjoy the foliage

Rake up the leaves. Make a nice, big pile. Jump right in! Have a leaf fight. Make crafts with leaves. Take some pretty pics for the gram.

Cook a proper multi-course dinner just out of pumpkin! Make soup, have some salad on the side, prepare ravioli for main course and of course, pumpkin pie for dessert!

Go to an outdoor cafe for a coffee date in the middle of the day. Fall date ideas are all about enjoying the simple stuff.

20. Take hayrides together

Fall is a great time to visit the countryside. While you are out there, do not miss out on riding in folksy wagons. Carry a ukulele along too. No? Then how about you carry a tune, at least? Maybe whistle something as you ride about the place.

Like we said before, the nights are getting colder. So one of the wiser date ideas in November is to go sweater shopping with your partners. Bonus points for getting matching ones.
