Ladies, it’s that special time of year again. September is upon us, which means it’s officially “Take a man on a date month!” For those who are new to the concept, each September, we turn the tables and treat our men to a date. It’s a fun way to show appreciation for the important men in our lives.
Don’t roll your eyes, this is your chance to show your guy just how much you appreciate him. This month, be prepared to have doors held open for you, compliments given freely, and feel extra special!
What Is This All About?
“Take a man on a date” is a fun way for women to take the initiative in dating. Every September, women are encouraged to do the asking and planning for dates. This gives you a chance to pursue a crush, reconnect with an old friend, or just try something new by dating outside your usual type.
Traditionally, men are expected to do the chasing in dating. “Take a man on a date month” flips the script and allows women to take charge. This can be really empowering and help build confidence. It also gives the guy a chance to feel pursued and desired.
This annual tradition is a chance to shake up your dating life. Summon your confidence, ask that cutie out for coffee, and enjoy an experience that’s all your own making. You have nothing to lose, and you just might gain a great new relationship!
Ideas For Dating Your Guy In September
September is officially the “Take a man on a date” month, which is a perfect time for romance. The summer heat is fading, the autumn chill hasn’t quite set in yet, and the changing leaves provide a colorful backdrop for your dates. Take advantage of the pleasant weather and try some of these fun date ideas with your man.
Go For A Hike At A Local Nature Preserve
What better way to enjoy the autumn scenery than by going for a hike together? Pack a picnic lunch, find a scenic trail, and spend some quality time connecting with nature and each other.
Visit A Farm For Pumpkin/Apple Picking
September is peak season for apple and pumpkin picking at local orchards and farms. Spend an afternoon wandering the fields, choosing the perfect fruits, then head home to bake an apple pie or carve jack-o’-lanterns together.
Have A Movie Marathon With Cozy Snacks
When the weather outside is frightful, snuggle up inside for a movie marathon. Curl up on the couch with hot cocoa, popcorn, blankets, and your favorite films. A low-key, relaxing date night in is perfect for the transition between summer and fall.
Go Stargazing At Night
As the nights get longer in September, it’s a great time for stargazing. Drive out to a secluded, dark area away from city lights, bring a blanket to sit on, gaze up at the stars and enjoy a romantic evening under the night sky with your sweetheart.
Cook His Favorite Meal
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so spoil him with his favorite home-cooked meal. Whether he loves a big steak, gooey mac and cheese or his mom’s secret recipe, preparing something special just for him will make him feel loved and cared for. Add a little romance with candlelight and his favorite music playing. After dinner, curl up on the couch for a movie marathon of his must-watch films.
Give A Thoughtful Gift
You don’t have to spend a lot to give a meaningful gift. Think of something useful that shows you listen, like a new charging station for his devices or a travel mug for his morning coffee. Sentimental gifts like a photo album or framed map showing the location of your first date or first kiss are heartfelt without a big price tag. A handwritten love letter or poem lets him know exactly what he means to you.
Just Have Fun!
The tables have traditionally been turned in heterosexual courtship rituals, but this is a chance for women to flip the script and treat the special men in their lives. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy expensive or elaborate – the point is just to make him feel appreciated and pampered for once. Whatever you do, have fun with it and show your guy just how much he means to you this September.
