Sometimes you just want a few pictures of you and your date that aren’t all at weird selfie angles! A fun way to get some unique pictures is to trade off playing photographer for another couple. And what better way to do that than finding a space that is specifically made for getting the perfect shot?

With the help of Peerspace, you’ll have access to thousands of professionally curated studios and spaces for your couples’ shoot without breaking the bank.

For example, check out this loft-style creative studio in Richmond, Virginia. It is bathed in natural light and has backgrounds to provide an array of photos of you and your date to pose in front of. Check out what is available in your area!

2. Go bargain hunting at a flea market or thrift store

It’s always good to have a couple of extra sets of eyes when you’re perusing the racks at a thrift store or picking out a piece of decor for your house. Take a couple along next time and try to pick out something cute for each other, or turn it into a scavenger hunt! This is one of those double date ideas that gives you something to take home and remember, or wear proudly.

3. Take in nature on a hike

Sometimes it can be hard to motivate yourself or your partner to get out and exercise. Use another couple as motivation to get out in the world and stretch your legs. You might even find out about a trail you didn’t know about before and have a new go-to spot.

If you’re in the D.C. area and like the idea of a more structured setting, check out this rooftop running track in Alexandria, VA. It’s an outdoor gym that provides you with a running track, gym equipment, plenty of fresh air, and gorgeous views.

Is your hiking date a washout? Don’t fret! Turn to these rainy day date ideas to make the most of this turn in the weather.

4. Have a picnic on a private beach

For couples who don’t want to spend any (or little) cash but still want to have a cultured date, see what museums are in your area. There’s usually one or two that will charge little to no admission fee or ask for donations.

12. Hone your culinary skills with a cooking night

Many hands make lighter work, so invite a couple over and find a recipe that you all can work on. Or give everyone a chance to be involved by delegating some of the prep work like chopping or cleaning.

Want to rent a more date-worthy venue complete with a working kitchen? Then Peerspace can come to the rescue again! You can book a loft, mansion, cafe, and pretty much any other type of venue you can imagine and put its kitchen to good use.

One example is this kitchen loft space in SoHo, NYC. It’s a rustic, well-equipped venue with a commercial kitchen and a colorful dining room in which to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

“The best,” shares a Peerspace reviewer of this SoHo loft kitchen. “So many compliments from our event guests on this space. It is fully equipped, impeccably clean, well appointed, and attractive. Getting access to the space and its overall utility was the easiest, most top notch experience. We hosted a cocktail hour with bartender and dinner party with chef and one server. It was a highly memorable experience and so many asked me how we landed such a prime venue! Can’t recommend this space enough!”

This is one of those double date ideas that will help you socialize and fill your belly with a delicious homemade meal!

13. Have a laugh at an open mic night
