Fall is here, and with it comes cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and crisp air. There’s no other perfect time of the year to plan some romantic dates, too. Here are 12 romantic autumn date ideas to help you fall in love with your date:
1. DRINK PUMPKIN ALE TOGETHER
Nothing says fall like a seasonal pumpkin ale. Visit a local brewery together, and enjoy some pumpkin ale. Some breweries have different types of pumpkin ale to choose from, too.
2. HAVE A PICNIC
Fall is the perfect time to have a picnic because it’s usually not too hot or cold outside. Gather some wine, cheese, crackers, and fruit, and then hang out on a blanket. Remember to pick a spot with a view where you can spend hours chatting.
3. GO TO A BOOKSTORE
Find out more about your date by browsing books together. Learn what piques their interest, and maybe even discover some common interests. Pick out books for one another to see who gets it right.
4. HIT UP A COFFEE SHOP
On a cold, rainy autumn day hit up your favorite coffee shop together, and sip on some pumpkin spice lattes. Pass the time by chatting or playing board games.
5. EXPLORE A HAUNTED HOUSE
In the mood for some Halloween activities? Then explore a haunted house together. You’re guaranteed to be both entertained and scared!
6. PICK APPLES
Fall is ideal for apple picking. Visit an orchard together, and spend the day picking apples. You can then use the apples to make fall desserts, such as apple crumble.
7. HEAD TO THE FARMERS MARKET
Head to a nearby farmers market together, and sample all the yummy local foods. Then pick a few items to cook a meal together later on.
8. VISIT A CORN MAZE
Corn mazes are a classic fall activity. Most can be found on nearby farms that also have pumpkin patches. Spend the whole day on the farm picking pumpkins and trying to find your way out of the maze together.
9. GO HIKING

Pick up some pumpkins at your local grocery store or a pumpkin patch, and carve some silly faces on them. Then roast the seeds and put on a scary movie.
11. WATCH A SCARY MOVIE
Nothing says Halloween like watching a good scary movie together. See which horror movies have just come out, and make it a movie date!

The fall time is filled with delicious goodies such as apple pies and pumpkin bread. Bake something unique and tasty with your date.
