Musicals and Plays
Singapore has come a very long way in terms of hosting international and award-winning musicals and plays. And besides the usual visit to the cinema, attending a musical or a play provides a remarkably different romantic experience. For one, attending one of these events provides the opportunity for a more classy experience. The other is the increased sensory experience provided by live performances that movies just cannot bring. Finally, the chance to experience something not so common-day, provides a much needed boost in romance both in terms of the experience itself and the conversations that comes before and after.
Of course, do take the time to read up on reviews on various shows first before deciding on the right show to attend. Nothing quite spoils the romantic mood than going for a lousy show.
Free Performances At Esplanade
Attend the free indoor and outdoor performances which are regularly staged by the Esplanade. It’s actually not about the performances themselves but rather the exposure to something different from the usual movies and dinner dates. These performances are usually by up-and-coming new acts and musicians, which makes them from interesting and fresh. Couple this with the very romantic atmosphere, especially at the outdoor concourse of the Esplanade, and you will truly have an unforgettable day.
It is suggested to go early and get a nice spot for yourselves to enjoy a romantic date. There are plenty of nice eateries and cafes in the Esplanade that compliments this activity.
Streetside Durian Feast
Disclaimer - This only works if both you and your date like durians.
And if so, you should be well-aware of this awesome date activity. There are several streets in Singapore where the durian sellers offer tables for customers to purchase and eat on the spot. Sure, it might be hot and crowded, but there is nothing like buying the durians fresh and eating them on the spot. Not to forget, you can always complain to the stall owner if you get a bad batch!
Just soaking in the atmosphere that can only be found in Singapore, and the company of other durian lovers, make this a classic romantic date, something that both of you will not forget. And after you are filled, you can easily adjorn to the other coffeeshops usually found in the vicinity for some dessert or drinks.

Playing Games
When was the last time you played a game with your partner? Games provide a great way to bond and to see a different side of your partner.
And we are not referring to games like scissors, paper, stone or even UNO. If you are unaware, there has been a huge growth in the quality of board and card games, specially designed for the young and the adult. These games typically involve much more than just rolling dies, they involve lots of skill, thinking and even creativity. And most importantly, they are very entertaining and will likely be able to occupy you and your date for a few hours.
You can either choose to purchase these games and play them at home, or a better alternative will be bring your romance to a board game cafe. Unfortunately, due to fierce competition and rising rental costs, the number of board game cafes around Singapore has dwindled over the past few years to just a handful remaining. They provide a wide selection of games and at the same time, you can purchase beverages and snacks, which makes it really ideal for dates. Another added bonus is, you can get the staff of these cafes to recommend good games for the two of you.
Some board game cafes that are around Singapore are:
The Mind Cafe
Settlers Cafe
Pitstop Cafe
So if you and your date have not tried this before, you should definitely give this romance idea a try as it can be lots of fun and laughter. And in the middle of games, you can also be sure there will be lots of time to chat and get to know each other really well.
