Dear Tuffy Luv,

Summer date ideas? Thanks, Tuffy!

Olivia

P.S. Cheap ones would be good because I’m still in college! Thanks!

Dear Olivia,

Do I have some ideas for you? Answer: Yes. Yes, I do.

(1) Go Swimming

Find out where the neighborhood pool is. (Even better if you can find a neighborhood beach!!) Slather each other with sunblock and head over for a guilt-free indulgence. Yeah, you’ll have to put up with all the neighborhood kids, but it’s so much cuter that way, anyway. At the end of the day, when you’re done splashing and sunbathing, take a cool nighttime walk home.

(2) Paint Each Other

Pick up some cheap supplies (don’t worry about quality here–this is just for fun) and paint pictures of each other. Laugh hysterically at what you each come up with–and compliment each other for seeing things other people would never have seen. Got a little messy? Shower’s this way…

(3) Have a Neighborhood Date

Do all the stuff you’d do if you were visiting your town. Do the local tourist attractions (no matter how lame). Look in the paper and find events. Spend the whole day like you were on vacation in your own town. Eat at the neighborhood favorite. And then go home and finish the vacation with dessert! (Winkyface.)

(4) Learn Something New Together

This is a great chance to get to know each other! Spend at least an hour talking about all the different things you always wished you knew how to do. Compile a list and then find the things you have in common. Pick something to learn and find an event or a class at which you can learn it. And then learn the heck out of it. Voila! Something new you can do together whenever you want!

(5) Volunteer Together

Find something you both feel passionate about – kids, animals, old people, iguanas, bananas, anything works – and find a local organization that helps. Volunteer together once, once a week, once a month, whatever. You’ll bond and do some good at the same time.

Have fun, summer cat!

Anybody else have any great date ideas?! Post ‘em below!
