Say NO to boring dates and spice things up with a night to remember in Chicago!  Dating might be a pretty long, repetitive process but the dates themselves can be spectacular every time.

Before I moved in with my boyfriend, I was on Tinder quite often just looking to go on dates, socialize with new people, and potentially find a match who I could call my forever person.  Those dates dragged on forever, but I was too nice to cut the night short.  I never want someone else to go through what I did, so I came up with a list of awesome ideas you could suggest on your next date night out!

#1: Kayaking on the Chicago River

Paddle off into the sunset with your special date in kayaks!  If you've never kayaked before, this might be a great idea to get out of your comfort zone.  As a bonus, you can sightsee while enjoying your time on the river!

#2: Play with cats at a Chicago 'Catcade'

I'd instantly marry someone if they brought me here.  I've been to only one Cat Cafe and it was amazing, but an arcade + lounging with rescues? Yeah, leveled up your game here!  Just don't rush into adopting a furry friend just yet.. make sure your date is the right person to do it with!

#3: Drive-In Movie Theater in ChiTown

This is GOALS!  If your date doesn't bring you to a drive-in movie theater where you can cuddle in your car with tons of blankets and snacks, they aren't the one boo.  Chicago has some great Drive-ins you can go to and catch your favorite films!

#4: Try a Spray Paint & Sip class at Kedzie Plaza

Let's get messy & tipsy together!  Show your date your creative & fun side with a spray paint and sip class.  Crack a few beers, spray paint an original piece, and take home your canvas after the class.  Swap art pieces so your date can always remember you!

#5: See a Comedy Show at the Laugh Factory

This might not be something you ever thought of!  You can laugh with your date, have a few drinks, and maybe even find the stand up comedians' jokes kinda embarrassing... that could be a great way to find out your date's sense of humor without asking!

No matter what you do on your next date night, just remember to be yourself and have a great time!  Whether you go kayaking, to a nice dinner, or on an adventure of a lifetime, be safe and enjoy it!
