Once the weather starts getting cold, people start pairing up. It's the beginning of cuffing season, that's why. Fall and winter bring an onslaught of responsibilities that come with the holidays, and it's easier and more bearable with someone by your side. But not all cold-weather activities are as anxiety-inducing as, say, a mandatory work bowling outing or Thanksgiving dinner with your entire extended family. Some are fun! Here are fifteen of the best fall date ideas to check off your list.
