One of the best things about living in a North Texas suburb is being just a short drive away from a bustling city known for its exciting nightlife. In a community like Goodland (formerly Prairie Ridge), you can have privacy and endless quiet nights while also being able to go out and step into the city whenever you like.
However, recently date nights have been getting pushed to the back burner.

Forgetting travel, traffic, and time for a moment, the coronavirus pandemic has negatively affected the ability and versatility of date night. But in a city like Dallas, there are so many fun and romantic things to do that are also six feet away from others.
Best of all, these date night ideas in Dallas break the monotony of “just getting a drink.” These ideas have year-round accessibility and can be fun for both romance and friends.
