Saturday morning date ideas
Saturday mornings are a blank canvas, ready to be filled with something worth getting out of bed for. For breakfast enthusiasts, we have a bunch of Saturday morning date ideas that’ll make your morning memorable and have you up early, ready to romance.
Brunchin’ and munchin’
There are two types of people in the world: those who sleep in, and those who love the idea of breakfast for a Saturday day date idea. Breakfast dates are the perfect start to the day for the early risers of the dating world. Grab your match and invite them to your top breakfast hot spot to dive into pancakes, sip on a glass of OJ, and get to know each other over a shared plate of avocado toast. Not an early bird? It’s Saturday! Stretch breakfast to a brunch, turn that OJ into a mimosa, and enjoy a lavish start to your weekend.
Visit the farmers’ market
Supporting local businesses? Check. Cute photo ops for the socials? Double-check. The early bird gets the worm and the early dater gets all the prime farmers’ market finds. Grab your tote bags, wander hand in hand through the stalls, and sample all (yes, all) of the free cheese with your bae. Nothing screams romance like shopping for fresh produce, breads, and store cupboard staples. You could even take your items for a spin on a lovely Saturday afternoon picnic date.
Find your zen
If you and your match are big on fitness and wellness, you might enjoy getting bendy and zen with a morning yoga session. Whether you're flex masters or just curious to see who can pretzel-ify themselves first, it’s all about the journey. Embrace new or treasured experiences together as a fab way to grow closer. And hey, if some unexpected noises escape during downward dog, let's celebrate it—comfort levels just reached a new high. So, unroll those mats, breathe deep, and get ready to find your inner peace together.
Saturday afternoon date ideas
As it reaches midday, your Saturday is still full of endless possibilities. We’re all up and ready to go, making it the perfect time to step out, enjoy the daylight, and bond over shared adventures. Try these Saturday afternoon date ideas tailored for two.
Mini golf madness
Show off your (lack of) golfing skills with a fun game of mini golf for a memorable Saturday date that’ll be sure to make it to the scrapbook. Go head to head and show them your competitive side, or team up and work on your stroke together. Just try not to throw your club in the water feature if things don’t go your way. And if you do lose? Simply blame it on the wind. Or the sun. Or the fact that the ball was most definitely cursed.
Dessert date
Waiting until dinner for a sweet treat is for weekdays. It’s the weekend! Foodies, grab the apple of your eye and head out to satisfy your sweet tooth by indulging in a dessert date at your local bakery or nearest dessert parlor. Whether it’s delicious cakes, gourmet ice creams, artisanal chocolates, or fresh bakes, sharing a few bites could lead to something even sweeter.
Outdoor adventure
Adrenaline junkies meet your match and get your energy pumping with an outdoor activity for a fun Saturday afternoon date. From kayaking to hiking or even a simple bike ride, spending time together in the great outdoors gives you both the chance to really enjoy each other’s company. This is your chance to get a little sweaty, get deeper conversations going as you move, and have fun with it while you make memories together. Pro tip: Pack some snacks for a cute mid-adventure picnic. It is a Saturday date, so you have all the time in the world!
Saturday night date ideas
Saturday night is when the city comes alive. The stage is set for romance and excitement as the stars begin to twinkle. Whether you prefer a serene evening under the stars or a night out on the town, these Saturday night date ideas will ensure you’re living it up and making strong connections with your bae.
Rooftop romance
Take your Saturday night date to the next level by inviting your special someone to enjoy rooftop views. Cheers to making memories with your favorite drink or share small plates on a chic rooftop bar or secluded terrace. The combination of city lights and starlit skies are sure to set the mood. Don’t forget to make the most of the amazing photo-ops that come hand in hand with this Saturday date night idea—you’ll want to remember this moment.
Arcade adventures
If you’re in the mood for something fun, step back in time with a trip to the arcade. Embrace your inner gamer and play classic games, challenging each other to high-score battles, and reliving childhood memories. Don’t forget to save a token for the scrapbook, and of course the loser has to buy the winner a cuddly toy—because what’s an arcade date without a prize? If you do keep losing, brush it off and let your partner know they’re the only prize you had your eyes on. Awwww (you’re welcome).
Go stargazing
If you're all about those moonlit moments, why not plan a night under the stars with your Bumble match? Saturday is the perfect night to stay out late and take a long lie-in in the AM. Find a quiet and cozy spot—preferably away from city lights—and prepare to have your breath taken away as you explore the cosmos together. Check the names and shapes of a few constellations before you go, and make sure to pack some warm blankets, tasty snacks, and even a cheeky hot chocolate (marshmallows are non-negotiable) for some extra coziness. Who knows? You might just see a shooting star.
Check out a comedy club
Saturday nights were made to let loose and have fun, so why not end your Saturday date night with a little bit of laughter? Check out your nearest comedy club to find out what’s on, enjoy a stand-up set, and bond over your new inside jokes. Pro tip: don’t sit in the front row unless you’re prepared for the worst! Whatever happens, at least you’re in it together—and after all, a couple that laughs together stays together.
There you have a curated guide to help you make the most of your precious Saturdays. Saturday isn’t just another day—it’s an invitation to create memories that linger, moments that matter, and connections that will last the test of time.
