Monsoon’s here, and so is the perfect excuse to plan a romantic date with your partner. The pitter-patter of raindrops, the earthy scent of fresh rain, and the cozy comfort of curling up with someone special– this season can be incredibly romantic. So forget boring dinner dates– it’s all about cozy vibes and quirky connections.
To make the most of your rainy days, in this article Dr. Chandni Tugnait, Life Coach & Relationship Expert partner with Tinder India shares 10 monsoon date ideas . Read on to know more:
⦁ Matchmaking with friends: get winged!
Still searching for your monsoon bae? Use Tinder's Matchmaker™ feature and let your bestie play cupid. Their eagle eyes might just lead you to your perfect rainy day snuggle.
⦁ Video chat: cozy chats & chill
Can't leave the comfort of your home (or the rain is too heavy)? No worries! Plan a video chat with your partner. And if its a first date, break the ice and share your fave books, movies, or hobbies and find that common ground. It’s a no-pressure way to get to know each other.
⦁ Bollywood bonanza & blanket bliss
Who needs a fancy multiplex when you've got steaming cups of chai, fluffy blankets, and endless Bollywood classics ? Channel your inner Shah Rukh Khan and cuddle up for a movie marathon under the soft glow of the laptop screen. According to Tinder's Year in Swipe, movie nights are a top date choice for young singles in India, so you know you're onto a winner.
⦁ Pakoda party and karaoke showdown
Ditch the takeout and get your fry on with a homemade pakoda party! Cooking together is a fun way to bond, and the delicious results (think crispy onion pakoras and spicy aloo tikkis) are the perfect reward. Plus, belt out some monsoon-themed Bollywood classics with a virtual karaoke session. More than half (54%) young singles in India agree that similar music taste makes a match more attractive (
as per a research conducted by One Poll- survey of 1,000 Indian young adults (18-25) across pan-India).
So, who cares if the neighbors complain – it's monsoon season, after all! Bonus points for channeling your inner Shreya Ghoshal or Arijit Singh.
⦁ Get drippin’ with a street food crawl
Feeling adventurous (and hungry)? Embark on a street food crawl with your date! Sample the local delights – a plate of freshly made samosas, pani puri, maybe even some piping hot jalebis from a local stall – perfect monsoon comfort food!
⦁ Monsoon city scavenger hunt
Channel your inner Indiana Jones (with an umbrella, of course) and explore your city's hidden gems on a scavenger hunt. But here's the twist: capture the most artistic rainy-day shots along the way. Think puddles reflecting city lights or couples stealing kisses under the rain. The most Insta-worthy pic wins bragging rights (and maybe the next date's chai bill)!
⦁ Bond piece by piece in a puzzle marathon
If you prefer quiet bonding, pick a challenging jigsaw puzzle. Forget boring landscapes - think a colourful market, the majestic Taj Mahal, or maybe even a hilarious Bollywood movie poster! Spend a chill day piecing it together with your date, it’s the perfect way to bond without the pressure of constant conversation.
⦁ Game night with a twist
Dust off those old board games or unleash your inner child with a retro console battle. Monopoly, anyone? Or Jenga or Pictionary? Loser buys the bubble tea on your next date – it's the perfect way to add a little friendly competition to the mix.
⦁ Bake a batch of monsoon munchies
For some sweet treats and even sweeter times with your date, bake some warm, comforting treats like hot chocolate or mug cakes. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try some traditional Indian sweets! Think jalebis, gulab jamuns! Find a simple online recipe or ask your date's grandma (or yours!) for a secret family recipe (major points if you score one!).
⦁ Monsoon mini book club
Bookworms unite! Start your own two-person mini book club. Pick a genre that's new to both of you, read it separately, and then discuss it over masala chai. It's the perfect way to stimulate both your mind and conversation.
Rain or shine, the monsoon season is the perfect backdrop for making some unforgettable memories, and the best dates are all about embracing your unique quirks and getting creative. So, stay safe, stay cozy, and make your monsoon dates as fun and unique as you are!
