      Moonlight walk on the beach trumps everything else, include night swimming to make it even better.

      Best summer date is going to the petting zoo!!! Nothing like holding a fluffy bunny AND getting kisses from a cute boy :D

      Spending a whole day together doing different things. Eat Brunch, go to the beach, get ice cream, take a nap, get all dressed up and go out to your favorite spot to eat, sit outside and just enjoy each others company. Wrestling or working out together is fun too :)

      The best summer date is having a vanilla ice cream cone with my honey while overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge at night. The scene is delightful, the waves calm and the air is just light enough to not blow that summer baby doll dress all over the place. There are no stars to gaze at, but the lights on the bridge and the buildings across the water make it the most romantic thing to do in the city<3

      Late night walks to get ice cream and cliff jumping into water!

      Best summer date is spending a day out on the lake wake surfing. You can even get up at the same time and take opposite sides of the wake. Great way to motivate each other to stay up longer, and awesome for getting great summer pictures. Ending the day cuddled up to a campfire back up at the cabin.

      Love this list! But you forgot a few things:
      -a hike/a walk in the woods but with a hike you get a great view and a feeling of accomplishment
      -stargazing
      -fireworks!!!
      -bonfire (though s’mores are probably one of the worst date foods since it’s so messy, there’s no cute way to eat them!! haha)
      -mini-golf and go-carting (it’s competitive AND flirty!!)

      I personally love outdoor concerts. It's a great way to see something you love with the one you love! Hopefully you have the same music taste but if you don't you get to expand your horizons with each other! There also always fun, even if you don't like the artist or haven't heard of them because everyone's just happy to be there.

      I think one of the best summer dates is catching a film at a drive-in theater. Something about the retro vibe feels oh-so romantic!

      best summer date is spending the sunny day on the beach, cleaning up, then going for oceanfront dinner and some putt-putting. frolicking in the nighttime ocean [and a little make-out session, duh!] caps it all off.

      I love going to see fireworks, no matter the occasion. There's something about seeing the sky light up with someone you're interested in that is truly breathtaking. Even if it is a tad corny.

      There is a drive-in about 20 minutes from my house so every summer I go there several times with my boyfriend or friends. They play two movies every night for just $6…talk about cheap fun! Their cheeseburgers are delicious too!

    30. Laura says:
      Tue, 5th Jun 20128:47 pm 

      My boyfriend lives in a different state, so my favorite date activity over the summer is looking for unique things from home that remind me of him so we can make care packages to send to each other!

    31. Rosie says:
      Wed, 6th Jun 201212:20 pm

      My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years now, and this summer we've decided; The best summer date idea is to go back to the little places/first places we went to when we first started dating (or "memory lane") in our small town.

    35. Kait says:
      Thu, 7th Jun 20125:12 pm 

      I love taking a hike and ending up somewhere we can go swimming. Also taking a midnight swim is always romantic

      Thu, 7th Jun 20127:49 pm 

      One of my favorite summer dates is to go yardsaling! I know it sounds totally corny, but it's so much fun to see what kind of crazy things people are selling… and it's even more fun when there's some "friendly competition" over who can find the funniest sale item ;)

    37. Kali says:
