Tell us youâre tired of virtual dates, without telling us youâre tired of going on virtual dates â weâll go first. Pandemic dating no doubt feels different than it did before Covid-19. But now that measures have started to ease in Singapore, weâre starting to see the rise in the number of couples going out on actual dates. While you can head to a cafe or to the bar to get some drinks, at times, it just doesnât cut it. If you and your partner canât seem to decide on a particular place to head to this weekend â because honestly, some of us are pretty darn indecisive â then look no further. With TikTokâs growing presence in our digital age, weâve come across a few decent date ideas that you can try with your partner. Here are some of our top picks.

Get in touch with your creative side with a fun-filled activity like tufting. For the unacquainted, rug tufting involves using a tufting gun to shoot yarn through the fabric while passing through a stencilled design thatâs stretched on a frame.

Opening Hours: 10am to 10pm (Monday to Sunday, closed on Tuesday)
Okay, so you may have already seen a ton of people posting photos on your feed (be it on IG or on TikTok) at these highly-raved photobooths, but we can totally see why itâs worth the hype. You get to take loads of photos on your own without having someone behind the camera (you can finally be yourself without having to worry about anyone judging you), and youâll also get to bring home these memorable photos of you and your partner. But even if youâre partner isnât available, or you donât have one to begin with, you can still visit this photo studio, but this time with your pet! Yes, you read that right. At Photopia, you can also have your own photoshoot with your furrykid too. Whether itâs your cat, your dog or even your little pet rabbit, this studio is a pet-friendly space that lets you capture your special moments with the ones you love.

Letâs be real â almost half of the population have picked up cycling as their latest hobby. If youâre around East Coast Park or MBS, then youâd notice a surge in the number of cyclists in the area. While it may be a cliche date idea, itâs definitely an activity that many of us havenât got tired of. Besides enjoying beautiful scenic views of the city, youâre also clocking in your daily cardio goals for the day, so you can get fit and have fun while youâre at it.
