There are so many things to do with your significant other during the fall season.

Fall is here. The leaves are a-changing; the wind is a-blowing; the pumpkin spice is a-brewing. So grab your your special someone and celebrate the change of seasons together.

Some may tell you that fall is great because the colder weather meets hot cocoa and sweaters, but they are so very wrong. The great thing about the weather getting colder is that all the unnecessary, blood-sucking nuisances that are insects are returning to the deep pits of Tartarus where they belong. So, take advantage of the end of their reign over the outdoors and be one with nature! Take a leisurely stroll through a park, go on a picnic, stargaze – the sky is literally the limit

For many people, fall points to one specific holiday: Halloween. Whether you are in for the tricks or strictly the treats, sharing the joy of Halloween with a loved one is always a fun time.  Making the shortlist, we highly suggest haunted hayrides and a horror movie marathon.  But, of course, whichever  you choose, you are sure to have a ghoulish time! If you are not into the frights, carve some pumpkins together or pick out a cute couple’s costume and venture to a party together.

Nothing is more romantic than sharing a meal with your significant other.  Go pick apples and make an all-American apple pie. Get some friends together for a mock Thanksgiving; the more the merrier. The change of season also means the return of everyone’s favorite stress inducer: school. Have no fear! Every boring and somewhat painful assignment is an opportunity for some quality time with that special someone. Form a study group or work on a shared assignment you two have. The return of school also means the return of football season. Catch a game together and support Neshaminy!

Take advantage of the fall weather and plan a seasonal activity with your significant other!
