Did you already come across this new thing called “Alphabet Dating”? No? Then let me explain this fun and creative method to getting date ideas.
Alphabet Dating, also called ABC Dating, is going viral on TikTok and Instagram right now. It’s a super fun way to try out new things on your date nights.
The idea is simple: Have a date night for each letter in the alphabet (in 30 days).
Now 30 days seems like a tough challenge right? It actually is. But sometimes life gets in the way making this impossible. Or you just don’t want to pressure yourself and enjoy this alphabet dating challenge. So just change this deadline to another, e.g. 60 days, 90 days or even a year.
This blog will give you inspiration for each letter, so you can rock this challenge.
Let’s dive in!
A: Aquarium
An aquarium is a great date idea and the perfect start to Alphabet Dating. It’s calm, interesting and educational at the same time!

Do you want to make it scary? Then choose an escape room with a scary theme. Sometimes actors are even included to surprise you!
