- Have a day with no agenda – the only 2 things on it should be the 2 of you.
- Check out a live band or go to an outdoor concert. Rock out, jam out, or dance the night away with your love.
- Read a romantic or sexually charged novel together.
- Lie on a raft or in a hammock together and talk about your shared dreams and goals.
- Create a new summer tradition.
- Make a summer project together. You can pick seashells and make a craft out of it. You can take pictures of each thing you did this summer and make a memory or scrapbook. What will you do?
- Take a couples’ yoga class.
- Take your honey and go buy some new summer attire, try it on for him or her and let your partner pick what he or she likes on you.
- Get involved in a sport’s activity whether it is on a team, a day event, fundraiser, or just for recreation. Play on the same team and flirt during the game, give your partner a friendly “good game” slap on the butt, whisper what you would like to do later, steal a kiss just like stealing 3rd base…
- Turn on a slow song, hold each other close and dance in your living room. “Being a good dancer” is not a required, so no excuses here!
- Kiss for the entire duration of a stoplight.
- Play Twister, if you don’t have it just create it!
- Find a waterfall you can swim under and have a passionate kiss. You can pretend you are shooting a love scene in a movie. If you have to make your own waterfall, a hose will work too.
- Plan a weekend “surprise” summer getaway for your beloved.
- Make a favorite drink of yours and sit out on the deck and talk about nothing and everything.
