1. Spring flower walk

In February and March we start to see the first signs of spring. All around us, snowdrops are popping up, daffodils are opening and crocuses are coming in to bloom. Head out to the countryside for a crisp and chilly walk.

2 Active dates inside

At this time of year the weather can still be a little unpredictable so why not organise an indoor date? For active types head to your local climbing or bouldering centre, or even indoor go karting. Adrenaline, competition and dry weather guaranteed.

3. Pub quiz

If meeting for a drink makes you tremble with nerves, how about arranging to meet for a pub quiz? Having something going on to take the focus off the ‘date’ aspect of your meeting will help you to relax, you can have a chat between questions and build a bond as you work together on the quiz.

4. Pancake party

Get your flip on and ask your date around for a pancake party. Not only can you show off your wrist action, you’ll find out a lot about your country date through what they choose for toppings. Are they sweet with syrup, traditional with lemon or quirky with a scrape of marmite?

5. Be a tourist in your home county

Work and life in general sometimes means that we don’t get out as often as we’d like to explore our local areas. A date in your home area is a great opportunity to do so. Head to those gardens, historic site or tourist town with your countryside match and play tourist for the day. You’ll see your home area through fresh eyes and have fun in the meantime.

6. Get active on a Parkrun

Perfect for fledgling athletes, a Parkrun date (that’s a 5km held in parks and towns around the UK every Saturday morning) is a wonderful active date idea to kick off the weekend. You can run, jog or walk, but stick together and enjoy the race. After you’ve crossed the finishing line, take your country date off for brunch or a coffee and let your relationship fly with all of those feel-good endorphins that exercise brings.
