If you are lucky enough to live somewhere that has all 4 seasons (unlike those of us here in Florida,) fall is a magical time. It represents a time of change and hope. Temperatures are cooling down, the leaves are changing colors, there is an autumn glow at sunrise & sunset & you can often smell cinnamon & pumpkin in the air. The year is coming to a close. Autumn leads us into Thanksgiving, giving you time to reflect on what you are most thankful for, what you hope to accomplish in the coming year, with a bit of time left to still accomplish any goals you had previously set.
Fall is also a great time for dates. Whether is a new relationship or rekindling an existing one, here are 25 Romantic Fall date ideas:
