While researching blogs for first date night ideas we came across a blog on Down Redbud Drive which detailed 100 date ideas for couples. We looked at the list of 100 date ideas and realized that those of us who live in Pyeongtaek have almost every single one of these ideas near us!
When there was a date idea that didn’t work, we subbed in another Pyeongtaek date idea to fit its place. We know you are going to love using this blog to plan your dates!
If you are associated with Camp Humphreys or Osan Air Force Base, you will find these dates perfect for you. Pyeongtaek and surrounding areas have many adventures to bring romance into your life. You will not get bored. There are enough date night ideas for a date every week for two years!
How can I plan date night with the language barrier?
Keep in mind many of the Pyeongtaek date night options will need some planning. You can use services like 1330 or concierge companies to help you gather information and make plans.
Are all of these date night ideas available year round?
No they aren’t. Some dates are seasononal or weather permitting.
Is every date night listed within the boarders of Pyeongtaek-si?
We have choosen date activities and spots in many areas within and around Pyeongtaek. Sometimes you will want a date near the house and sometimes you will want more of an adventure. However, none of these date nights are excessive travel. The are thing you can do in a day.

97. Go on a thrift night date
This date idea comes directly from Down Redbud Drive, “Basically, you have $10 to buy your date’s outfit at a thrift store. Has to be the right size and gender appropriate. The rule is you can’t tell other people what you’re doing on your date. Go out to dinner and whatever else dressed in the thrifted outfit all night. It’s a blast!” You can find all kinds of thrift stores near Tong Bok Market.
