Baby it’s colder outside: dating ideas for autumn!


What did one autumn leaf say to another? “I’m falling for you…”

The bad news is it’s getting colder, the weather is wild, and it’s basically dark all of the time. The good news? It’s a great time to get cosy and let the festivities carry you through.

It’s also a great time to get your dating game on before Christmas - though it’s probably best to have a ‘Plan B’ somewhere indoors for when it starts hailing on your romantic woodland picnic. Here’s a few date ideas from the Flirtify team to get you started - and when you're ready to go, save 50% on your subscription* with promo code FLIRTIFY50 here >>


Go on a zombie ‘run’



Get into the Halloween spirit with a zombie experience. Though it’s not one for the faint-hearted, you’ll have a right laugh being chased by zombies, getting infected by zombies, and/or partying with zombies - whatever floats your boat. 

Nonetheless, we do suggest getting to know your date a little bit first. Asking whether they have any pre-existing health conditions or phobias might be a good start…

Make s’mores



If they aren’t already, we think s’mores should be the official food of the autumn. Who knew biscuits, marshmallows and chocolate were even more heavenly when they’re hot and squashed together?

No campfire? No problem – heat them up in the microwave, stick them on a fork and point them towards this YouTube video

‘Halloween special’ marathon



For a more manageable marathon in front of the telly, why not replace your usual lengthy movies with loads of Halloween special episodes from some of your favourite TV shows?

For a cheap, cosy night in, grab loads of Halloween-themed food and get watching – our favourite specials are from The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation, Bob’s Burgers and of course, Goosebumps.

Go on a hike



If the rain holds up, it’s a no-brainer to get yourselves outside one last time before the weather gets really poo. Take your date on a walk in the countryside for spectacular views and (hopefully) even more spectacular conversation.

You might need to wear so many jumpers you can’t move your arms, but we’re sure you can style it out. 


Give Pinterest crafts a go…



Some Pinterest boards promise life hacks and easy peasy do it yourself tutorials - we’re not so sure about that, but it’s going to be funny to at least try. There are infinite autumn pins – everything from baking, to cooking, to decorations, to couples’ Halloween Costumes

Even if you’re not the crafty type, we hope these Pinterest fails will make you see that it’s the effort that counts. 

Make the most of Bonfire Night



Ahh, the 5th November – the day we celebrate a man getting hung, drawn and quartered…

Surprisingly, bonfire night can be a really romantic – pop down to your local firework display and huddle up to keep warm. If you feel like going the extra mile, get sparklers and show off your sporting skillz by winning them a cuddly toy. 

Play LOADS of board games



Though they get a bad rap, nothing screams ‘rainy day’ like board games – and nothing shows the true nature of a person quite like losing at Monopoly. There’s a huge range of games out there – so if you’re not a fan of Scrabble, why not try Obama Llama or Exploding Kittens instead? 

We promise you - you won’t find a greater joy than watching the light die from their eyes as you take their money, assets, and most of all, pride.

Carve a pumpkin



This is another cheap idea to get into the festive mood – all you need is two pumpkins, clean out their insides and get carving. The only limit is your imagination – create a classic creepy face, or carve the scariest thing you can think of. The best design wins a prize.

Or why not try carving a portrait of your date? What’s the worst that could happen?

“But I’m a skeleton and have ‘no body’ to go with..”

What’s that, we hear you cry? Don’t fret – get yourself over to Flirtify and find yourself a date. It’s free to get started and have a browse. Then when you're ready to make a move you can sign up for a fabulously flexible subscription.
