Couples Date Ideas Quiz 

💑 What is the Couples Date Idea Quiz?

The Couples Date Idea Quiz is a fun, interactive quiz that helps you and your partner discover fun date ideas you’ll both enjoy. By answering questions separately, the quiz compares your preferences and generates a personalized list of activities that match both of your interests. It removes the guesswork and awkward planning—so instead of debating what to do, you’ll get fresh, exciting suggestions you're both actually up for.

🧠 130+ Questions in 8 Topics

Over 130 carefully crafted questions from 8 different topics: Romantic, Food & Drinks, Outdoors, Creative, Adventurous, Wellness, Sports, Expensive. But no worries, if 130 questions are too much, you can always skip individual questions or entire sections if, for example, you don't like fun outdoor date ideas.

🎁 Free To Take!

The Couples Date Idea Quiz is completely free, no hidden fees, and no credit card required. If you complete the quiz correctly, you will get a list of ALL your matches! Matches are fun date ideas you both said either yes or maybe to. If one partner says no or skips the question, it will not show in the results.

🚀 How to Start the Quiz

In many relationships, the longer a couple is together, the less frequently they spend intentional, quality time with each other. But research from the National Marriage Project shows that couples who regularly go on date nights report higher levels of happiness, commitment, and even sexual satisfaction. Whether it’s a new adventure or a cozy evening at home, setting aside time for just the two of you builds connection, improves communication, and keeps the spark alive. The best part? Fun date ideas don’t need to be expensive to be meaningful.

We have categorized our fun date ideas into several categories to make it easier for you to skip the sections you are not interested in and save time doing so.
