Date Plan ① - S’mores & Stargazing
What’s more romantic than cozying up with your person beneath a vast sky, gazing up at the starry night above? Enjoy a few toasty-crisp s’mores beside a crackling fire, then curl up under a cozy blanket and dream together as you watch the stars.
Here’s what you’ll need for this date:
Fire Pit or space for a bonfire
Firewood + Fire Starter
Marshmallows, Chocolate Bars, & Graham Crackers
(For a twist, check out this recipe for Sweet Potato Pie S’mores from Eat.Drink.Frolic.)
Marshmallow Roasting Stick (Or use a metal clothes hanger)
Cozy blankets & pillows for fireside snuggling
Or, skip the setup and book a S’mores and Stargazing date night package with one of these awesome companies, and they’ll take care of all the details and setup for you.
Simply contact them (via their contact form on their website or dm on Facebook/Instagram) to book a custom date package and let them know that TDI sent you for a s’mores & stargazing date night. Must book at least 2 days in advance.
TDI Exclusive Promo: Use our promo code “SMORES22” to receive an exclusive 25% off discount on your S’mores & More date night package when you book your date with 50 First Dates Chattanooga through TDI.
TDI Exclusive Promo: Receive a free s’mores kit when you book your date with Southern Pearl Picnics! Just tell them The Dating Initiative sent you.
Date Plan ② - Kick Off 2022 with a Kickboxing Date
If you’re looking for a date night to get the blood flowing, look no further! Enjoy a night of high activity together while pacing at your own fitness level. A kickboxing date is a great option for the couple that is aiming to be more active or even just seeking some stress relief together.
You can visit JAB Kickboxing in Hixson, or check out Total Fitness Kickboxing in East Brainerd for a TDI exclusive promo.
**TDI Exclusive Promo**
TFK is offering TDI subscribers a free class when you plan your kickboxing date through us! Just let them know that you’re with The Dating Initiative when you visit for your date, and they will run the promo for you.
Date Plan ③ - Date Night on Vinyl + Coffee with a Cause
This date option is music to our ears. Plan a relaxing visit to Yellow Racket Records for you and your music-loving person. Stroll between the shelves and browse the records labels, sharing your finds with each other when you discover some of your favorite bands’ albums.
After your visit to the record shop, drive a couple streets over to the Together Cafe for a cup of coffee (the Campfire Latte is my personal fav). The vibe in this cozy cafe is unrivaled, and the cafe’s mission is even better.
Since January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we wanted to spotlight Together Cafe as an amazing option for your vinyl + coffee date.
Together Cafe partners with 7th Well, Willowbend Farms, and Her Song Chattanooga to end human trafficking, and a portion of each sale at the cafe benefits organizations and non-profits that work to help restore survivors and victims of human and sex trafficking.
You can’t beat a date that invests in your relationship AND a great cause!
Date Plan ④ - Date Night… When Distancing
If your recent holiday events have landed you and your person in quarantine, don’t cancel date night just yet! These at-home date options are great ways to brighten your time together in the house.
Candlelit Dinner Date: Get dressed up, order a fancy dinner via a food delivery service like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or GrubHub, pull out the fine china and candlesticks, and enjoy a romantic evening together.
Baking Party: Flip through your old cookbooks and order a grocery pickup, then spend the evening baking some of your favorite childhood treats together.
Current Exclusive Promo- Guided Winter Hike with Experience Chattanooga

Join Ryan & Hope (one of our #ChattanoogaCouples) for a guided hiking tour to see some of Chattanooga’s best views. You can book your winter hike for January or February here.
Experience Chatt pro tip: Winter is the best time to see waterfalls in Chattanooga, TN, because that’s when we get the most rainfall - this allows for a fuller waterfall and a better view. Plus, it makes great pictures, which is a bonus since you’ll have a professional photographer joining you on your hike to help capture the moments!

Experience Chattanooga is offering our TDI Subscribers an exclusive discount when you plan your guided hiking date with us. Use the coupon code “ADVENTURECOUPLE” for your 5% off discount starting today when you book your hiking date. Offer valid December 28th-February 28th.
