55 Teenage Dating Ideas to Make Each Moment Cherishable and Fun-filled!

1. Explore an escape room with your bae

Escape rooms are a great way to spend time together and test compatibility levels simultaneously. The experience will be the ultimate blend of fun and fear! You will get to know whether or not your partner is able to handle stress and work under pressure.

Escape rooms also reveal what your NF is afraid of. The adrenaline rush will escalate your experience and make your date extra special and memorable.

Once you are done with exploration, go grab your favorite coffee and discuss how you performed so well together.

2. Take a stroll through the lush green botanical garden in your city

If the two of you feel at peace when in proximity to Mother Nature, then visiting a botanical garden together can be so calming. Taking a stroll amidst the lush greenery of botanical gardens can be an ideal date idea for teenagers.

You can even indulge in some outdoor activities such as playing hide and seek, frisbee etc. Also, you will get some amazing clicks in a botanical garden.

3. Go for a gaming night with your bae

Are the two of you fond of gaming? If yes, then plan a gaming night and play your favorite video games all night. Bring out your Playstations and Xboxes and compete with each other. You can also team up and beat your rivals together.

4. Stargaze all night

Go stargazing with your partner if you are looking for something “deep.” Your rooftop, an open field or a mountain peak can be ideal for a stargazing experience. Cherishing the beauty of the sparkling stars while engaging in deep conversations can give you a lifetime of memories and make your date extra special.

5. Classic movie date

You can never go wrong with a movie date. Depending on your taste, you can choose from different genres such as rom-com, suspense thrillers, action dramas and so on. Watching your favorite celebs on the silver screen while sharing popcorn and other delicacies can make your date memorable.

6. Recreate scenes from movies

If not movies, you could die laughing by recreating scenes from your favorite comedy movies. Pick one of your favorite films and recreate iconic moments. Oh, you’ll also know if it’ll be worth trying in Hollywood!

7. Watch a meteor shower

I know it looks straight outta a romantic movie, but what is love, if not cheesy things? You both could find out when the next meteor shower is coming to your city and plan a romantic evening outdoors. Under the sky, and so many things to talk about, it’ll create a magnetic moment!

8. Try hiking/trekking with your BF

Adventure junkies find trekking/hiking trips quite interesting instead of doing mushy stuff on dates. If you are planning to go on a hiking trip, don’t forget to carry water bottles, snacks and energy drinks. Also, carrying a support stick and putting on hiking boots can smoothen your hiking experience further.

9. Go for ice cream dates

Want something fuss-free, simple and pocket-friendly on your next date? Go for ice cream dates, then!

Sharing the same ice cream with your bae can give butterflies in your stomach and, at the same time, create that perfect bond that you two will cherish forever.

10. Cook delicious meals for each other

Are you both big-time foodies? Do you love cooking delicious meals? Why not do this together, then?

On your next date, you can try cooking your favorite dish together. The mess that you will create together and the scrumptious outcome that you will get after that will give you endless beautiful memories. Don’t forget to record the moments in your smartphone camera to capture these timeless moments forever.

11. Enjoy a camping night with the love of your life

Fall is the perfect season to enjoy a romantic, mushy bonfire date with the love of your life. Together you can go camping in a picturesque place and enjoy the cozy moments together. Enjoying the warmth of the bonfire, dancing to the music beats and gorging on barbecue delicacies can indeed be a fun idea.

12. Shop till you drop together

If shopping feels therapeutic to you, and your partner, too, is a shopaholic, then going on a shopping date can be quite fun. Do your savings and prepare a list of stuff you both need. Then visit malls, thrift shops and streetside vendors to shop for your favorite products. You can even pay for each other and help each other in making choices.

13. Go on bowling dates

Bowling can be extremely fun when you do it with your bae! And even if you don’t know how to bowl, then take help from your partner. He will hold you close to showing the right posture and technique to you. Keep yourself calm and enjoy the intimate moments while you learn bowling from your partner.

14. Plan a picnic and do aesthetic stuff

Picnic dates can always be fun when done right. Pinpoint a safe and aesthetic picnic location. Take along a basketful of yummy snacks, cakes and desserts, water bottles, beverages and napkins. Also, bring a mat to make yourself comfortable on the green pastures.

You two can read your favorite books together, play board games or cards, listen to music, play outdoor games, capture photographs and relax all day.

15. Visit an observatory

For all my nerds out there, you two should also have spectacular teen dates, which is why an observatory sounds awesome to me. You would have a chance to learn more about astronomy and view planets, stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects up close. Maybe even find something to bond over!

16. Visit an animal shelter and volunteer together

If your teenage date adores the little munchkins on the streets and shelters, you have to visit and volunteer together. This will not only show them how kind and humble you are but will also let you have brownie points. I think it’ll be a great first-date idea for teenagers!

Want to cut down on the unnecessary hassle of going out in the crowd? Then why don’t you plan a movie marathon night together?

Order some pizzas, beverages and tubs of icecreams. Snuggle together inside a cozy, warm blanket and binge-watch your favorite movies and web series together.

18. Spend time indoors while playing board games and cards

This especially makes sense during the rainy season or extremely cold weather. Suppose you are not at all interested in going out but are craving to meet each other. To make your indoor date more interesting, get your board games and cards ready.

Games like monopoly, scrabble, ludo, Catan, and carrom can keep you engaged all evening. You can plan a double date to make your indoor dates all the more interesting.

There are other card games for kids as well that you can give a shot!

19. Buy tickets to a concert he has been dying to go to
