Don’t let the cold weather interfere with you planning a date, as there are many fun and exciting things you can do with your lady friend.

You can huddle indoors at home and have a games night, head to a local comedy show, or even venture out into the snow for a hike. Whatever you are feeling there is a date to suit you, with these 40 our top picks dating ideas to experience this winter.

1. Movie Night

Staying in when it is cold and snuggling up on the couch with your partner is one of the joys of being in a relationship. So why not plan a movie night at home. Pick a film neither of you has seen (or one of your favorites), grab some salty popcorn, and settle in for a chill movie night with your lady.

2. Go Skiing or Snowboarding

Pack up the car and head to the slopes for a day of shredding in the snow. Even if you’re not an expert, you can both get some lessons and enjoy learning how to ski or snowboard together. This is the kind of date you can turn into a romantic weekend for two.

3. Take a Pottery Class

It probably won’t end up like Ghost, but taking a pottery class is a great way to bond with your partner. You can take an official class where you will use a proper pottery wheel and get to see your creation put in the kiln and come to life, take an online course, or buy an air-dry clay kit and whip something up at home in a few hours.

4. Go To a Quiz Night

Put your knowledge to the test and see who of you is smarter by attending a quiz night. Team up or face off against each other and find out how good your general knowledge really is. The best quiz nights are often ones hosted by pubs, as you can knock back a few colds ones celebrating your wins or drowning your sorrows.
