Rom-Coms have been giving us dating ideas for decades. One minute you’re watching a movie for the laughs, the next you are thinking, “Wait, that would actually be a fun date.” The rom-com wave of the ’90s and early 2000s was especially good at this, filling the screen with playful plans, spontaneous dancing, music moments, and the kind of outings that turn an ordinary afternoon into a great story. So, we rounded up the rom-com dates that still sound like a great time today. Scroll ahead and see which one you would happily steal for your next outing.
#1: Paintball Showdown – 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
In one of the most fun dating moments of the ’90s, Patrick takes Kat on a spontaneous paintball outing after helping her escape detention. What follows is less strategy and more joyful chaos as they toss paint and run around laughing. The colorful mess leads to a moment on a pile of hay where they share their first kiss. The scene was filmed at Gas Works Park and even features F.N.T. playing in the background, sealing its place in rom-com history.
