Fall is also a great time for sports. Basketball, football, and hockey season are all getting underway. Go out and show off your team spirit. A little friendly rivalry between you and your date doesn’t hurt, either!
3. Explore the City
Get the chance to learn some new areas in your city. Go to new parks, stores, and restaurants, and experience new surroundings.

4. Have a Picnic
Fall is the most beautiful time of year for a picnic. It’s not too hot and it’s not too cold. Pack a nice lunch with your partner and head out to the park. Once you’re done eating, just relax, enjoy the view, and take in the changing weather together. Cuddling on a blanket under a tree? What’s more romantic than that?
5. Take a Walk
