These Are The 5 Best Unexpected Date Ideas In Chicago This Summer
Say NO to boring dates and spice things up with a night to remember in Chicago! Dating might be a pretty long, repetitive process but the dates themselves can be spectacular every time.
Before I moved in with my boyfriend, I was on Tinder quite often just looking to go on dates, socialize with new people, and potentially find a match who I could call my forever person. Those dates dragged on forever, but I was too nice to cut the night short. I never want someone else to go through what I did, so I came up with a list of awesome ideas you could suggest on your next date night out!
#1: Kayaking on the Chicago River
Paddle off into the sunset with your special date in kayaks! If you've never kayaked before, this might be a great idea to get out of your comfort zone. As a bonus, you can sightsee while enjoying your time on the river!
#2: Play with cats at a Chicago 'Catcade'
I'd instantly marry someone if they brought me here. I've been to only one Cat Cafe and it was amazing, but an arcade + lounging with rescues? Yeah, leveled up your game here! Just don't rush into adopting a furry friend just yet.. make sure your date is the right person to do it with!
#3: Drive-In Movie Theater in ChiTown
This is GOALS! If your date doesn't bring you to a drive-in movie theater where you can cuddle in your car with tons of blankets and snacks, they aren't the one boo. Chicago has some great Drive-ins you can go to and catch your favorite films!
#4: Try a Spray Paint & Sip class at Kedzie Plaza
Let's get messy & tipsy together! Show your date your creative & fun side with a spray paint and sip class. Crack a few beers, spray paint an original piece, and take home your canvas after the class. Swap art pieces so your date can always remember you!
#5: See a Comedy Show at the Laugh Factory
This might not be something you ever thought of! You can laugh with your date, have a few drinks, and maybe even find the stand up comedians' jokes kinda embarrassing... that could be a great way to find out your date's sense of humor without asking!
No matter what you do on your next date night, just remember to be yourself and have a great time! Whether you go kayaking, to a nice dinner, or on an adventure of a lifetime, be safe and enjoy it!
