As we learn to embrace the new (temporary) normal of social distancing, our date nights and quality time as we have once spent it together may be confined to less activities, such as dinner, dancing, or a trip to the movies. Netflix and wine has become a popular go-to pastime for many, however, if you find this idea of date-night seems just like another weeknight detox strategy, we’ve compiled five of our favorite. activities for you and your other half.

As the days become longer and the temperature rises, now is the perfect time to head outdoors for much needed fresh air. Hiking is a great form of exercise which also helps to release endorphins, the hormone which makes us feel happy and relaxed. In addition to nature’s calming effects, regular exercise will help to keep us in shape while at home. With the abundance of beauty found outdoors, this atmosphere will set the mood for for a romantic excursion. For the best hiking trails in your area, visit alltrails.com

The best part about an online dance-class with your significant other in the comfort of your home is that even if you have two left feet, no one will know. Dancing is also another fun workout that you can use to burn those extra calories from quarantine snacking. Learntodance.com has free dance lesson including tango, hip hop, and salsa.

3. Explore a new museum with fine wine and cheese.

Take a trip to the Guggenheim in New York City, The Smithsonian Museum of Art in D.C. or the Louvre in Paris, without leaving your doorstep. Many word-class museums are now providing complimentary virtual museum tours. Our favorite part about this date night idea is that you can take your favorite bottle of wine along with you and won’t be kicked out for it. After the tour, you might also be inspired to plan a weekend trip to the city to visit in person. Right now is the perfect time to book as rates are at an all-time low.

Cooking in Quarantine — 4. Plan a dinner party for two.

They often say that the way to the heart is through the belly. We here at Designed by Delsie believe that to be true. There are many dinner party themes to consider. Perhaps a vegan 5-course meal? Or what about re-creating the experience from your first date night? Whatever theme you choose, consider making it extra-special by preparing the meal together, setting an elaborate table for two, creating a playlist of your favorite songs, and getting dressed like you are going out for a night on the town.

There is no better time to snuggle together and take a trip down memory lane to reminisce about your favorite vacation together, date night, or anniversary. If you’ve been wanting to frame some of your favorite memories, now is the time to do so. This activity may also get you excited about resuming with wedding plans or any celebratory plans that might have come to a screeching halt with social distancing.
