15 Fall Date Ideas for All Kinds of Couples
1. Carve pumpkins
This is a classic fall date idea that offers two-in-one appeal.
The first part of the date is visiting a pumpkin patch or plant nursery together to pick out your pumpkins. This activity is full of seasonal charm!
Then, you'll carve your desired designs into your pumpkins in your location of choice. Simmer in this chance to be creative together (and show off your skills).

Fall is spooky season, so why not indulge in some good, old-fashioned ghost stories?

P.S. Hand-holding is a must during this daring date night.
