Alphabet Date

For Couples
Written By Megan Walther, LMSW

If you’re looking for a fun date night idea, that can cover 26 dates, look no further! I present to you the Alphabet Date. The premise is that you start with the letter A and work your way through Z, only doing activities or going to places that correspond with the letter you’re on. You can choose to keep it simple by just going to Applebee’s for A. Or you can increase the challenge and make every decision correspond. The restaurant could be Applebees. You only order food that starts with A and is considered “American” or “Argentinian” and your activity could be ax throwing. 

This date night idea offers 26 consecutive date night themes and allows you to try new experiences or restaurants in your town. If you want to make it more of a stay at home deal, maybe cook a food that starts with the letter, or go with Italian for I, Mexican for M. Up the stay at home challenge by finding a movie to watch or a board game that starts with the letter. Having 26 to complete also provides something to look forward to since you know what to expect from the next date night. 

The activities don’t have to be expensive, but they can be if you want. The goal is to bond with your spouse by completing a challenge and experiencing new activities. While you’re supposed to go in order of the alphabet, you can also pick randomly as long as you keep track of the letters you’ve already done! 

Happy dating!
