This one would be fun if you both like sports. Some sports that you could play one-on-one are; Basketball, soccer, pickleball, and spike ball. If you want to do a double or group date you could play the sports I already mentioned or you could play volleyball or flag football. Basketball courts, pickleball courts, sand volleyball courts, and soccer fields are easy to find. Not to mention, they are all typically free to use. Someone you know is bound to have the equipment you need or you can go to a thrift shop (see idea 2) or your local rec center and rent them for cheap.

This could be a good group date or one-on-one. Before buying paint ask your friends, especially your artsy friends, to see if they have paint and brushes that you can borrow. If they don't have paint get white, black, red, yellow, and blue and just mix them to make the other colors you want. If you don't know what to mix to create a certain color, google it. Then, buy whatever kind of canvas you prefer. Now, you can either paint at your place, go on a quick hike and paint what you see, or go to a park. We did this recently, we painted a picture of a mouse, right in our kitchen. On my canvas, I painted half of a computer mouse and he painted half of a real mouse, when we were done we put them together. Check it out!

Get some snacks, order takeout, or make mac n' cheese! You can either have the fort set up and ready to go or you can make it together. But make sure you have enough blankets beforehand so you can make the fort of your dreams. Then pick a movie or play card games. Sometimes it's hard to pick a movie in a situation like this, I keep a list of movies I like, or want to see, on my phone so when we're on a date or with friends we don't spend a lifetime trying to pick a movie to watch.

Yes, geocaching is still a thing. If you don't know what geocaching is, it's a real life, nationwide treasure hunt! So, there's an app that you get on your phone and it leads you to little hidden boxes that come in all shapes and sizes. Bring a pen and sign the logbook when you find it. You can also add comments on the app about your experience. Caution: this one's addicting!

If you own a truck it works best, but you can make it work even if you don't have one. If you do have a truck, load up the back with blankets and pillows. Drive to a previously picked location and sit in the back and enjoy the view. You can also get an app on your phone called SkyView Lite and it will show you the constellations, planets, and satellites. If you don't own a truck you can sit on the trunk of the car or bring a bunch of blankets and pillows and set it up on the ground.

Recently, a fun date idea he had was; we went up into the canyon and found a spot to make a fire. For this date, you'll need firewood and make sure you have a lighter. You can make s'mores, roast hotdogs, or my favorite starbursts, (seriously, try it!)
or sit there and enjoy the peace & quiet
by the fire. Even though the weather is warm there is nothing better than sitting
by the fire and sharing (scary?) stories.
