1. Go to a drive-in movie

Okay, drive-in movies have seriously become The Thing to do right now. Since the pandemic, they’ve popped up all over the country. Grab a blanket and some snacks and see what your local drive-in theater is playing. You’ll be in a warm and intimate environment, plus you won’t make anyone mad if you and your partner talk during the movie.

2. Have car sex

I mean, how could we not include it in the list? I know car sex is usually associated with people who can’t bring someone to their homes, but it doesn’t have to be. It can also be a sexy and exciting way to try something new with your partner. Just make sure you park somewhere extremely secluded before going at it (like, literally in your garage) — you don’t want any passersby getting a whole exhibition.

3. Drive through holiday light displays

If you know a neighborhood near you where they always have the best holiday decorations, seriously, turn it into a date. Grab your sweetheart and go on a night drive past the houses and enjoy the light show. Not too cold? Take a walk through the neighborhood. Not only is it totally cute, but it’ll def get you a nice pic for the ‘gram too.

4. Play carpool karaoke

Go on a drive and blast your favorite songs on your car radio. Make it a duet or show off with a solo. Better yet, try prompting each other with things like “Play a song that reminds you of me” or “Play a song that reminds you of something from childhood.”

5. Go for a scenic road trip

Sometimes the best part of a journey is the journey itself. Plan a little (safe) getaway with your boo and turn the car ride over into a date. If you can, you should choose a more scenic route with beautiful things to look at. You can enjoy nature all while having your person as the company.

6. Have a parked car conversation

Everyone knows that parked-car conversations just hit differently. If there’s something on your mind or you just want to dive into a deeper conversation with your S.O., find a nice parking lot or street corner and just dive into some discussion about whatever you want. It’s the perfect time to get to know each other better.

7. Do a drive-thru dinner date

Going out to dinner may be a bust right now, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t go out for dinner. Grab a drive-thru meal from a fast food place or even go somewhere that does curbside pickup. Then, enjoy your meal in your car. You can “dine indoors” without worrying for your safety. Plus who doesn’t love splitting a McDonald’s meal?

8. Listen to a new podcast

Sure, you can listen to a podcast from the comfort of your room, but if you want to still have the feeling of “going out,” go on a drive and play your favorite one. You’ll learn some new stuff, maybe laugh, and it’ll be a fun and intimate time between you and your boo.
