Kids, this is the story of how I met your mother, and it was all thanks to GVLtoday.

Ok, so maybe that’s not exactly how the 2000s sitcom went, but if Ted Mosby had consulted us for date night ideas, we could’ve shaved the show down to two seasons (and saved his kids a lot of time). Regardless, whether you’ve met “the one” or are hoping to impress someone new, we’ve got 15+ local date night ideas that are legen — wait for it — dary.

For the ones who want a night out on the town

If you love the great outdoors

  • Take a hike. No, really. Grab your hiking boots, some granola, our hiking guide, and head to the great outdoors. Pro tip: We have it labeled by difficulty, so you don’t embarrass yourself in front of your honey.
  • If floating is more your speed, grab an inner tube and float down the Saluda River at the Saluda Outdoor Center.
  • Still thinking about food? We’ve got you. Dine al fresco at one of Greenville’s many restaurant patios.

For the ones who like to play games (just not with your heart)

  • If your boo is more of a Sporty Spice than a Posh Spice, consider signing up for an adult sports league. With games like volleyball, pickleball, and cornhole, there’s something for everyone.
  • Not the athletic type? Head over to Boardwalk Games and find the perfect board game with the help of the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Just don’t be a sore loser.
  • For those feeling retro, take a gander at this list of 11 arcades from our friends at Kidding Around Greenville.
