Click the dots below to find the perfect daytime date idea for you and your person!
Everything you think you know about dating is probably built on romantic-comedy tropes, but we think there’s room to rewrite the rules. While some people are under the impression that daytime dates imply boredom or complacency between a couple, we believe the opposite. With the entire day ahead of you, your creativity can be limitless.
Of course, preparing for any date requires a couple necessities. First, don’t overthink the outfit, but debate heavily over how to smell. Choose correctly and instead of remembering how awkward the conversation was, your date will recall how you smelled of bergamot and pepper, courtesy of Carolina Herrera Bad Boy. Want something that lasts and evolves throughout the day? Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl starts out with warm notes, like sweet almond and coffee, then blooms into a tuberose-and-roasted-tonka-bean blend. No matter what you choose, make it bold. And, most importantly, you never want to arrive for a date without thinking ahead. Consider who you’re going on a date with when brainstorming ideas. Are they introverted and prefer quiet alone time, or are they extroverted and enjoy being around as many people as possible?
As some of the most romantic movies have implied, working with
your hands is shockingly intimate. A pottery or pasta-making class
is too predictable, but pastries? Maintenant, c'est l'amour. The key to
an introvert's heart is spending time away from the crowd. Sparks
will fly after an evening alone in a French kitchen surrounded by the lingering aroma of butter and bread.

You and your SO have always bonded over self-care, so a spa day seems all too perfect for a couple who love R&R and often argue about who has a better skin-care routine. Start with a couple’s hot-stone massage or microcurrent facial, then move on to more luxurious all-day experiences, like meditating in a salt cave or floating inside a sensory-deprivation tank. Although many recommend forgoing a perfume to avoid distraction from any aromatherapy treatments, a few spritzes after your final treatment will help keep
the allure alive while you and your lover sip on green juices.

As an extrovert, your date gets energy from being just one part
of an engaging crowd. And since pop culture excites them, a film screening seems appropriate. Expect to spend some time after
the film debating the themes and motifs with your partner and
20 other people. This is a first date, but that plot will take months
to unpack, ensuring a second date is just around the corner. It’s
not conventional, but that’s what they’ll remember most.

A dance class may scare some people, but your partner never shies away from the spotlight. Getting the chance to learn something new and challenging together will give them butterflies and perhaps bring out a bit of their competitive side — those other couples will have nothing on you two, they’ll say. Better still, signing up for something unexpected, like swing or ballroom dancing, will ensure some memorable moments throughout the day. Whether you can actually remember the steps once you leave the studio is irrelevant; it’s the quality time laughing and learning together that really counts.

Introverts prefer some privacy, but extroverts feel recharged when surrounded by people — so where do you go when someone is
kind of both? A museum. To keep it unpredictable, avoid the usual haunts that crowd with tourists on a weekend afternoon. Instead, opt for strolling through a new art installation at a nearby park or an exhibit opening at a smaller museum. Avoiding the typical art locale will free you both up to choose whether or not you want to mingle among a crowd or go off alone for some one-on-one time.
