13 Romantic Date Night Ideas For Him

Coming up with romantic date night ideas for him can be challenging.

That’s why having a go-to list of creative date night ideas that you can turn to is a great way to keep the spark sparkling and enjoy fun evenings with your man.

One thing the pandemic forced us to learn how to do – is to enjoy being at home more.

For those of us that love to go out and be out and about…being at home all the time has proved to be a bit of a challenge.

As one of those couples who love a good night out, the pandemic has required my husband and me to use our creativity to come up with fun date night ideas that we can do at home.

This post is all about romantic date night ideas for him.

13 Romantic Date Night Ideas For Him

#1 – Romantic Bubble Bath Date Night

Sharing a bubble bath with your love allows for private time, relaxation, intimacy, and connection.

Here’s What You Need For This Date:

Bubble Bath – Find a scent that is appealing to you and your partner. My hubby and I enjoy scents that include Palo Santo. Everyone is different, just make sure to choose something that will be suitable for you both.

Rose Petals – Sprinkle some red rose petals along the floor of the bathroom as well as in the bubble bath after filling the tub with bubbles. The scent of the rose petals is soothing and creates a beautiful atmosphere.

Tea Lights – I love getting a bag of these tea lights on Amazon. They’re the perfect way to add to the romantic ambiance.

Relaxing Music – Turn on some music that will allow you and your man to unwind and connect.

Adult Beverage – My fave is champagne or some sparkling wine. Enjoying a cool bubbly drink together while soaking in the tub is a win-win for all.

#2 – Date Night Picnic In The Living Room OR The Back Yard

Picnicking in the living room has become a favorite date night.

Pack a picnic basket with you and your guy’s favorite picnic foods.

Wear your cute comfy loungewear.

Spread a blanket out on the living room floor.

Light some candles and enjoy!

What You Need For This Date:

Picnic Basket – This doesn’t have to be anything elaborate and really if you’d rather just carry the food from your kitchen to the living room by all means go for it! I really enjoy getting into it by using an actual picnic basket but whatever you choose will work just as well.

Large Blanket – Try to find a blanket that is soft and large enough to cover a big space for the two of you to spread out and cuddle.

Picnic Foods – Foods come down to personal preference, but I enjoy packing our basket with finger sandwiches, chips, veggies, chocolates, and wine.

#3 – Italian Cooking Date Night

Cooking together is a fun way to connect and do something creative.

Pour a couple of glasses of wine, turn on some Italian love songs, and get cooking!

What You Need For This Date:

Your favorite Italian recipe and ingredients.
Music – Choose your favorite Italian songs.
Cooking equipment.

#4 – Movie Night Date Night – Of His Choice

Let him select the movie, just go along with it no matter what.

My husband and I typically have very different choices in movies.

Most of the time, he does let me choose, but this date night is about him and what he will enjoy – so let him pick!

Pop some popcorn, get your favorite snacks, and snuggle up together under a cozy blanket.

What You Need For This Date:

Movie – Ask your guy what movie he wants to watch and have it ready to go.
Popcorn and Snacks – Pick up your favorite movie theatre snacks for your movie night at home.
Cozy Blanket – Cuddling together under a soft blanket always adds romance even if he chooses some very unromantic action-packed thriller.

#5 – Photo Shoot Date Night

Dress up in his favorite outfits that you have and let him take pictures of you.

What You Need For This Date:

Camera – Your phone works perfectly for this.
Outfits – If you know what outfits you wear that are his favorite, get them out and ready to go. If you aren’t sure, ask the questions. “What outfits do I wear that you love on me the most?”

As a side note: His answer to this question is usually quite funny.

#6 – Have A Game Night Date Night

Since the focus of this date is for him…have him choose his favorite games and make a night of it playing them.

What You Need For This Date:

Games – of his choice.

#7 – Create A Bucket List Together On Date Night

Being home can give you lots of time to think about all the things that you want to do once you can be out and about again.

Enjoy a date night where your sole focus is on curating a list of all the activities and places you want to go together.

What You Need For This Date:

Pad of paper.
Pen.
Your creativity!

#8 – Date Night Couples Massages

Take turns giving each other massages.

Get some massage oil, light some candles, and enjoy!

What You Need For This Date:

Massage Oil.
Tea Lights – As I mentioned earlier, you can find great tea lights at a reasonable price on Amazon.

#9 – Strip Tease ‘Never Have I Ever’ Date Night

This is always so much fun!

These “Never Have I Ever” questions are the perfect way to get the conversation going…but after a couple of glasses of wine, less clothing, and a lot of laughter, you will be getting creative with your own never have I ever questions.

What You Need For This Date:

Never Have I Ever Questions

#10 – A Date Night Drive

Taking a leisurely drive together can be a lot of fun.

Whether you choose to cruise through the mountains, the city, or along the ocean side…spending time in the car together can be very romantic.

Bring your favorite car snacks, drinks, and conversation cards to keep things interesting.

What You Need For This Date:

Car snacks and drinks.
Conversation Cards.

#11 – Taco Tuesday Date Night

My husband and I always enjoyed going out for Taco Tuesday. Being stuck home, meant missing our Taco Tuesday dates so we started creating them at home.

Taco Tuesday is such a fun and easy at-home date night.

Make your favorite style tacos, whip up some margs, and enjoy chips and salsa.

#12 – Canvas And Cocktails Date Night At Home

Order blank canvases, paint, and brushes. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy or expensive. Just the basics, unless you want to make a lasting hobby of it!

Select something that you want to paint together or get creative on your individual canvases.

Mix up your favorite drink. Enjoy the night painting, sipping, and chatting with your love.

What You Need For This Date:

Blank Canvases.
Paint.
Paint Brushes.

#13 – Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate Date Night Tasting

Select a few wines, kinds of cheese, and chocolates that neither of you has had.

This is fun and adventurous and you may even find something you really enjoy that you’d never heard of before.

What You Need For This Date:

3 to 4 Different Wines
3 to 4 Kinds of Cheese
3 to 4 Types of Chocolate

I say 3 to 4 because that is what we’ve found to be the right amount for us.

Just enough to get a nice sampling, but not so much that you aren’t able to finish.

I hope you and your man can enjoy these romantic date night ideas at home as much as we do.

We’d love to hear what you loved the most and what at-home date night ideas are your favorite.
