While sometimes March can feel a little bit like no-man’s land — not quite spring, not quite winter — it’s definitely a step toward the sun staying out a little longer and our group chats coming back to life. Everyone’s thawing out socially, and the pressure to plan the “perfect” romantic night is officially gone.
In this list, you’ll find events around Salt Lake City and Provo, but the real point isn’t the location — it’s the inspiration. Find something similar near you, make your own version, or send this to someone with a casual “this could be fun 👀.”
Get Your Trivia On
Trivia nights are elite date energy. Why? Because it’s competitive… but in a cute way. You get built-in conversation starters, team bonding, and a totally natural excuse to high-five.
Can’t find a trivia night near you? Host one. Make it a group date. Pick a niche topic (early 2000s Disney Channel? NFL mascots? Taylor Swift deep cuts?) and suddenly you’re not just on a date — you’re in an experience.

Learn A New Skill
Nothing bonds people faster than being beginners together.
Trying something new takes the pressure off constant conversation. You’re focused on learning, laughing at your mistakes, and accidentally creating inside jokes. It’s collaborative. It’s memorable. It’s way more fun than sitting across from each other asking, “So… what do you do?”

Game On
Sports dates are underrated.
There’s built-in energy. Built-in conversation. Built-in excuses to celebrate dramatically. Even if one of you “isn’t really a sports person,” live games are more about the atmosphere than the stats.
You don’t have to know every rule. You just have to cheer at the right moments and pretend you saw that play coming.

Geek Out
Hot take: passion is attractive.
Going to events built around a shared interest is one of the fastest ways to connect with someone. Whether you’re into fitness, gaming, fandoms, entrepreneurship, or something wildly specific — finding “your people” makes dating feel less random.
Even better? You immediately know you have something in common.

Take a stroll at the market
We are officially entering “wander around outside and pretend it’s warm” season.
