Catch a Drive In Movie

You cannot go wrong with an old-school drive in movie date. Grab a ton of snacks and some blankets for a romantic movie night together. You can either head to Coyote Drive in Fort Worth or Galaxy Drive just south of Dallas!

Watch a Comedy Show Together at Comedy House

Laugh your butt off at the Dallas Comedy House for the evening! Their improv shows always crack me up, and they’re a great way to break the ice without someone relatively new in your life. What could be a better initial Dallas date idea for someone new!

You should also check out Pocket Sandwich Theater! They have tons of live comedy/drama shows that are absolutely going to lead to a great night. While I have not been myself, I have heard nothing but good things about the experience! Literally one of the most fun date night ideas I have been on!


Go Ice Skating at the Galleria

Grab a partner and spend time ice skating at the Dallas Galleria! The perfect winter date in Dallas for only $14 a person. Plus, you can take her shopping through the Galleria afterwards (and you know we never say no to a shopping trip)!

Picnic Together at Klyde Warren Park

If you have someone that loves art museums, then this is the date for you! Start off with a lunch at Klyde Warren Park, either at the adorable Savor restaurant or at one of the countless food trucks they have! Enjoy the downtown view, some sunshine, and a whole lot of people watching.

After lunch, you can head to one of the many gorgeous local museums. The Dallas Museum of Art across the street is always a favorite, plus it is FREE. I also recommend theNasher Sculpture Garden for some sculpture lovers. Science lovers can drop by the Perot Museum(as mentioned above) for the day. If you’re an aquarium person, then head to the Dallas World Aquarium for some penguin spotting and shark watching!

Watch a Sports Game Together

Last year, I got my boyfriend Houston Rockets tickets for Valentines Day, and boy did I get major brownie points for that! Check out tickets for the Dallas MavsDallas CowboysDallas Stars, andTexas Rangers and spend a night at the game together!


Country Night of Rodeo Watching & Two Stepping

If you have a gal/guy that loves to go out dancing, then this is the date night for you both! Start off the afternoon walking around the Stockyards and hanging out with the cattle. Make sure you drop by Cavenders to see all the boots! Then, grab dinner at one of the 200 BBQ places in the area. I can’t even recommend one because there are so many delicious options for Dallas date ideas!

Head right over to the rodeo afterwards for a cattle show you definitely will not forget, then dance your boots off at Billy Bobs down the street right afterwards! I promise you, they called it the Worlds Largest Honky Tonk for good reason!

Have Dinner with a Gorgeous View in Dallas

You know that giant ball in the Dallas skyline? That happens to be a restaurant! If you want to impress your date, then this is the place to take them. The meal absolutely will not be cheap, but the views will sure make up for it.

Also, if you want a less expensive meal with a killer view, check out NYLO South Side Soda Bar!

Play a Round at Top Golf

If you want to keep things simple, then Top Golfis a way to do just that! Spend the evening with drinks and golf (specifically for people that suck at golf, aka me). This is such a fun and easy option of this list of Dallas date ideas!


Have a Fort Worth Adventure Day

One of my favorite places in DFW because of how insanely cute it is, and it does not get nearly enough credit! Spend the evening walking around Sundance Square, checking out the adorable little shops and lights all around.

Then, you can walk over to the Fort Worth Water Gardens for a sight you would not ever imagine in this quant southern city. Out of all these Dallas date ideas, I am betting this is one you guys haven’t done yet.


Take a Cooking Class Together

I got this as my gift to Denver, an online cooking class together in our OWN Kitchen with the amazing Chef and the Dish! You literally Skype in a chef from whatever country your dish is from (ours was Italian!) and have them teach you what to d in your own home. I seriously want to get this for my mom this year!!!! One of the most interactive and fun Dallas date ideas!

Go Wine Tasting in Grapevine

Check out some of our favorite Grapevine wineries, which are always a good date night spot! Indulge in delicious wine and foods in the local vineyards, which is way less expensive than a trip to Napa! I personally recommendDelaney Vineyards or Messina Hoff winery!


Museum Exploration Day

I do not care how old you are, you are never too old for a fun science museum. If your date considers themselves nerdy, then this will be a treat. Spend the afternoon exploring the Perot Museum in Dallas for only $25+ a person. They also have exclusive adult-only nights with plenty to drink and eat if you can snag some tickets! Instead of just one, this is basically like 5 different Dallas date ideas!

If science museums aren’t your thing, check out this other list of the Best DFW Area museums to spend a day at!


Watch the Sunset at White Rock Lake

If you two are nature lovers, then spend the day at White Rock Lake up in Dallas! You can rent some bikes or kayaks, take the boat out, or just picnic next to the lake! Soak up some sunshine with your special someone at White Rock Lake.


Visit the Fort Worth Zoo

You put a girl in front of a cute cuddly sloth and she will melt into a puddle right then and there. Spend the day at the Fort Worth Zoo ogling the animals and walking around; I don’t know how you could have a bad time. Make sure you check out the baby elephants too!!


Have a Cute Dallas Staycation!

Looking to get away for the evening? Maybe need a break from kiddos or just life in general? Then snag a hotel room at some of the most romantic and relaxing hotels in Dallas:

W Hotel Dallas // Complete with an incredible spa and a pool with killer views

The Adolphus // This gem reminds me of a beautiful romantic Parisian hotel, if that tells you anything

Hotel ZaZa // Very boutique and very unique, a hotel you likely haven’t experienced before!

NYLO Hotel // If anything, you have to stay here for their amazing rooftop views
