A pumpkin patch date with your significant other—it's been done before, but only because it's a classic. In addition to being outside in crisp weather, where it's appropriate to link arms for warmth, you can score points helping little kids move large pumpkins. Another bonus: there's a haunted house. Nothing like cheap jump-scares to get you into each other's laps.
