The past can bring back special memories of how things used to be. You were just dating and probably did some crazy things together. Activities might have been simple but they were the fun innocence of youth. Go back to that time and enjoy these activities all over again.

Laughter is the spark that can reignite the romance in a relationship. You don’t need expensive dinners, just enjoy the silly moments with each other. Here are some old-school romance ideas you can try:

1. Get Down at the Roller Rink

The roller rink can take you back to some fun times. They are a funky and fun place to let loose and share some laughs. The disco ball and the lights will take you back and the music gets you moving across the floor arm in arm. Forget the fancy moves and just go with the flow of it. Put your arms around each other and just skate like kids again. You may fall but get back up again and keep going. Look for an adult’s only skate time so you can avoid the crowds. Get lost in the moment and each other.

2. A Movie Outside – the Drive In

The drive-in can bring back very romantic memories of steamed windows. You’ll need to look around for these places but they are out there still. The old drive-in is making a comeback so you may see more of them out there. You can also find outdoor movies where there’s a theatre in a park. Bring a blanket and some chairs along with you. Your movie date will be even more romantic under the stars. Snuggle under your blanket and keep warm. Be sure to bring some snacks with you such as popcorn and a cold soda. If you can find an old drive-in it will be even better. Climb in the back seat and get nice and cozy. Be a kid again and take a trip back to your past. Maybe those windows will steam up again.

3. Go Bowling Together

Reignite the romantic sparks again by going bowling. Put on those shows and make your moves. Bowling is fun no matter how good you are. Have a contest with each other and reward the winner with a romantic twist. Come up with your own ideas for the reward. Enjoy some food at the alley like a hot dog or some pizza and capture those old times again. Be like teenagers again. Go bowling even if you have never done it before, you could have some good laughs together. Pretend you have no clue about bowling and show each other how it’s done for some close moments together. Give each other lessons and take the romance home with you!

4. Skate Together

Turn those cold winter days into a romantic date with some ice skating. Enjoy each other’s company and some hot coffee or chocolate as you take breaks from skating. Take your time as you skate and don’t worry if you fall a couple of times it’s bound to happen if you haven’t skated for some time. Have a laugh together and snuggle up to keep warm. The romance will cut through the cold. Enjoy a nice time as you skate together.

Go for fun activities from your past to start the romance again. Try these activities even if you have never done them before. Feel like a kid again and let the romance shine in through. Now go out and have some fun together.
