100+ Date Night Ideas in Dallas

Dallas· Dating· single moms

Dallas Date IdeasI probably could have come up with a thousand different date ideas since this is the question I get asked a lot. Finding the right event for a special date whether it’s your first date, your anniversary, Valentine’s Day or any other special event is my specialty.  I’m a dating concierge and people hire me to create a special dating night for their beloved.

Here is just a sample list of 100 date night ideas that you could do in Dallas. Some of these are generic enough you can do them in any city. Take for example visit an art museum is something that can be done where ever there is an art museum. This is not a top list and it’s in no particular order or category. There are also a ton more suggestions that we could recommend.  The options are endless… and literally limited by your imagination.

If you have a suggestion not on the list put it in the comments and I’ll add it.

If you are a business that wants to let me know that you can provide services for any of these ideas also let me know and contact me at blog@dallassinglemom.com.

  1. Cuddle up by the fire with a glass of wine – My Tinder profile was blowing up with guys using the word cuddle
  2. Make it a movie night at home: Now that we can stream movies from anywhere and NetFlix is a buddy to many and makes this is a lot easier now.  Free Dating
  3. Visit the Dallas Art Museum – Once a month they have late night events and admission is always free
  4. Go to a paint and sip class such as Painting with a Twist  – They have many of them all over the DFW metroplex
  5. Order a charcuterie board – I like the one at FT33
  6. Take a cooking class
  7. Take a wine tour
  8. Head to Reunion Tower and check out the city view
  9. Go to a Dallas Mavericks Game at the American Airlines Center
  10. Check out some local Dallas Craft Brews and take a craft brewery tour – like the one they have at Deep Ellum Brewing Company.
  11. Head to Medieval Times
  12. Take a horse drawn carriage ride – check out the West End or Oak Lawn. Especially at Christmas where you can tour the lights in Highland Park.
  13. Head to a hookah bar – not quite yet into the Vape scene but like to smoke on water pipe every once in a while. Try Kush on Greenville.
  14. Take a fitness class together
  15. Try Yoga – You can do this for free at Klyde Warren Park
  16. Get a facial together
  17. Do your nails and get a manicure and pedicure together
  18. Go to a Korean spa – if you have never experienced one it is a must visit. Enjoy steam rooms to detox the body.
  19. Go Antiquing – check out Deep Ellum and other local antique shops.
  20. Go paddle boarding – I like Stand Up Paddle as they operate in many locations throughout DFW. They even have a couple’s retreat.
  21. Try Cycling – whether you are taking a spin class or actually touring the town on two wheels it’s great exercise and produces endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.
  22. Jogging on the Katy Trail – People watching as you strut your stuff and your wireless headphones
  23. Sailing on White Rock Lake – There are a few sailing clubs but you can always check out The White Rock Lake boat club.
  24. Head to the Perot Museum for a little science fun
  25. Take a walk at the Dallas Zoo
  26. Take a Dallas Architecture Tour – walking tours are available monthly
  27. Try Karaoke at a local Dallas Dive  the Dallas Observer has a good top list of karaoke bars.
  28. Watch a Burlesque Show – typically on Friday nights you can find a good show in Dallas. Try DFWBurlesque or Viva Dallas Burlesque
  29. Go to a strip club – Dallas has many
  30. Check out a honkey tonk – You haven’t experienced Texas unless you have experienced a honky tonk. Adair’s is the best per the Dallas Observer
  31. Ride a mechanical bull – reenact that scene in Urban Cowboy over and over again. Try Gilley’s Dallas for that.
  32. Go bowling – too many places to mention and many places have a combo of laser tag, bar, arcade games and pool. Barrel and Bowl is awesome. I will say a more adult atmosphere I found in Fort Worth (I know it’s not Dallas) at Lucky Strike.
  33. Play Laser Tag
  34. Take a photography class – There are a ton of photography classes available that you can take together. Even if you don’t take a class exploring places and photographing them together is fun and you preserve memories.
  35. Take an art class at El Centro College – They have great classes and it’s centrally located downtown. Ride the DART together.
  36. Visit the Frontiers of Flight Museum
  37. Get a couple’s massage
  38. Go Juicing – I’ve enjoyed the detox at Roots
  39. Sample Chocolates
  40. Eat some good Texas BBQ – I’m so not going to tell you where to go BUT I will give you great resources such as Daniel Vaughan over at Texas Monthly with their BBQ tours, Neil over at ILiveinDallas or just follow Dallas Foodie. One of my faves happens to be Pecan Lodge
  41. Lounge by a fire pit – either do this at home or check out Dallas Foodies list of restaurants with awesome fireplaces.
  42. Catch a Dallas Stars Game – this is Hockey. I know nothing about hockey but my man loves hockey so I’m going to learn something.
  43. Ride the trolley on McKinney avenue – It’s called the McKinney Avenue Transit Authority. It’s also free to ride.
  44. Ride DART – just using Dallas’ rail system is interesting. You can go all the way up to Denton through Collin County and you can also ride the Trinity Railway Express to Fort Worth. For a few bucks you get a tour.
  45. Catch an indie film at a local historic theater – you have Texas Theater, Lakewood, Inwood and many others. I love the art deco design of many of these places. Most towns and cities in Texas have a historic theater and it’s a wonder to visit and tour if possible or take in a show. Some even have bars in them.
  46. Head to a Lakewood Dive Bar – Any dive bar will do but I have been to Lakewood Landing, Cock and Bull and The Goat. Cock and Bull  has good food but these bars are all dark.
  47. Take dance lessons: salsa, flamenco, swing, the two step
  48. Take music classes: piano, guitar
  49. Go to a small concert at a place you don’t normally go to listen to a band you’ve never heard of (Or have). Check out anything in Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, downtown at City Tavern, South Side Ballroom, just support small independent bands.
  50. Go on a local food tour – a lot of places now do food tours where you hop around and sample food at different restaurants.
  51. Sign up for a tough mudder – Active racing, getting dirty, go for it
  52. Go shooting – Texans love their guns. Especially in Arlington and Mansfield
  53. Try a dinner cruise – Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Lewisville have companies that do this
  54. Head to the opera – Dallas and Fort Worth have good opera houses.
  55. See a musical or theater show
  56. Go to a comedy club
  57. Go scuba diving – There are a ton of scuba companies that will teach you how to scuba
  58. Play pool at a pool hall
  59. Take a pole dancing class together
  60. Go to Ikea and build furniture – Head to IKEA in Frisco for some furniture building fun or for something low key you can always play with Legos.
  61. Venture around Uptown and visit open houses – one of my favorite things to do is grab a latte and walk around the open houses in Uptown on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon
  62. Test drive cars at local dealerships – Interested in a luxury model head to a local dealer and take a test drive
  63. Head to a local film festival – Dallas has many
  64. Rockclimbing
  65. Indoor skydiving
  66. See a Drive in Movie – you can head to Ennis, or Fort Worth for this backseat cuddling treasure of pop culture
  67. Visit the Dallas Arboretum – there are so many events and quiet spots here.
  68. Play Board Games
  69. Bird Watching at Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve
  70. Go hang out at the park or go to Klyde Warren Park

  75. Bet on horses – see Lone Star Park above
  76. Shoot some golf balls

  80. Go ice skating
  81. Paintball
  82. Play video games at an arcade
  83. Take a ghost tour.
  84. Cheese making classes – Mozzarella Cheese company is my favorite for this with cheese making classes and pairing classes
  85. Grab your boots, jeans and attend the Mesquite Rodeo.
  86. Create your own cakes – Scribble Cakes comes to your home or office. Set some couples up together and you can all double date making cakes.
  87. Go to the nightclub
  88. See a cover band
  89. Catch a literary salon at the Dallas Museum of Art
  90. People Watch in Uptown
  91. Have dinner at a nice restaurant – I’d like to recommend Dallas Foodie and some of her review especially this one for cozy fireplace restaurants
  92. Rent a hotel room – you have so many beautiful hotels around Dallas – The Ritz Carlton, The Mansion on Turtle Creek, The Hilton Anatole, Hotel ZaZa, the NYLO. Many options here.
