Millennials and Gen Z desire more educational dates
The good thing for singles is that Pinterest has released its predictions for the five perfect date night options for 2023. Millennials and Generation Z have been showing new interest in unique date night ideas. Say goodbye to the traditional dinner and movie dates that filled the 20th century. Now young couples and singles are looking to add a little education and intimacy to their dates. Pinterest's forecast showed that Millennials and Gen Z were most interested in bookstore dates, picnic dates, creative date nights, aquarium dates, and museum dates.
If you've never been on a bookstore date, it's worth a try. A bookstore can help spark a variety of conversations, which is exactly what you want when on a date. You can also learn more about your date based on what books they select and their body language while inside the bookstore. Most bookstores have a cafe option that makes for the perfect opportunity to share a sweet treat. As a new generation of daters hit the scene, they're seemingly looking to connect with a potential spouse on a deeper level.
Picnic dates are perfect for the spring and summer months
New couples and hopeless romantics going into the summer months can take advantage of all the magic and romance that lies in our local parks. Plan a romantic picnic, enjoy a wine tasting, take part in an adventurous scavenger hunt, or kick it up a notch by hiring a private chef to add luxury to your picnic date. When it comes to creative date nights, the options are endless. Creative date nights include everything from a sip and paint class to a cooking class to attending a festival.
An aquarium is another great option: who doesn't love the beauty of an aquarium? It makes for a perfect date setting for you married couples looking for a night out with your boo. Between gawking at all the magical sea creatures inside the tanks, learning new information about aquatic life, and finding relaxation from just getting a glimpse at what goes on under the sea, an aquarium provides a great opportunity to share quality conversation with your date. A study done by Plymouth University and the National Marine Aquarium also found that spending time in an aquarium can improve physical and mental health.
The same could be said for museum dates that add a unique component to date nights. The sex appeal of a museum is often overlooked by the historical statues and artwork. But museum dates come with a number of benefits including affordability, riveting deep dives, and a chance to show off your intelligence.
