People Watching Date Night

Hey y’all! It’s Amanda (@akaAmandaK), bringing you an absolutely simple, no-planning-necessary date for you and your sweetie! Summertime means BUSYtime in my household, so this is the perfect season for a relaxed, no-fuss date that still packs in the fun! I don’t know about you, but my man and I LOVE to people watch! In our natural habitat, we humans are interesting creatures!

When my sister and I were kids, we would make up stories about the people we saw, imagining cute couples on their honeymoon, movie stars passing through our small town incognito, or our long lost (and completely imaginary) twin coming to find us. The tradition has continued with my hubby and me. This creative date idea is a take on that same thing – observe people passing by and co-create some entertaining who/what/when/where/why’s for them!

For this fun (and cheap!) date night, grab some ice cream or your favorite portable snack, then head to the mall, park, pool, or other local hotspot, sit back, and see what unfolds! My favorite – go to the park, find a set of swings, and take in the surroundings…

Make up stories about the passersby’s you see – where they are going, who they will meet, where they grew up, what they are talking about now. Test your observation skills while giving your imagination the reins for the evening! A creative and entertaining date night that requires zero prep work… have FUN!
