Step on the Dance Dance Revolution to see who's go the better moves or race them on a super-bike at Smaaash, in Inorbit Mall. You can also challenge them for a bowling contest and have a laugh over drinks, and food here too. If science and adventure are your two loves, walk a plank 50 feet above ground, on VR of course! Sounds like a plan?

LBB Tip: All official announcements happen on their Instagram, so keep an eye out for their updates.

We love Aaromale for many reasons, and one of those is the events it hosts. Undeniably, humor is important. So find a show that matches your timing or time your date around the event and get the front row. Post show, you can stay back and grab a bite under the trees and open sky. If the weather is breezy, even better!

Lyzure cafe is great for engaging in creative activities to find common interests. You can dabble between tufting, painting, candle making, pottery and soap making and create memorable gifts for each other (or yourself, why not). The catch is, you have to book your spots in advance. Once that is done, you don’t have to worry about the materials or anything.

A date spent in the company of doggos can never go wrong! Who could not be happy looking at those wet noses and wagging tails, after all? If the two of you share a mutual love for dogs, why don't you head to Happy Dogs Kennel, in Khanapur? It's super relaxing to cuddle these fur balls, who will make it a date to remember while photobombing all the photos.

A trek to Moula Ali Hills assures deep conversations and a serene atmosphere. This is a fairly easy trek with about 500 well laid out steps and a dargah atop the hill. Sit amidst the rocks and gawk at the city before you witness the sunset. That said, do keep in mind that the area is fairly isolated.

Timings: Sunrise to sunset

Entry fee: Free

How to reach: You can either drive down to Moula Ali Hills or take the metro to LB Nagar and hail a cab or an auto from there.

Touring the neglected gems of the city (like that of Mushk Mahal and Musi River Front) makes for an exciting date. Discover hidden gems of bazaars and quench your interests by absorbing knowledge from experts and historians at Hyderabad Trails. They conduct occasional food, music, poetry and night walks too, so pick the most ideal one and fall in love with the city (and your date) on the journey.

Fans of Jurassic Park and dinosaur geeks, this one's for you. Hang around with T-rex, Pterosaur, and Triceratops on a casual date at the Dinosaur Park. Take some cookies or doughnuts along and make it a picnic. Located in Banjara Hills, over 25 models of dinosaurs are hiding in plain sight, in an urban jungle setting. Get some pictures clicked, walk around, and sit to reflect. It's also pretty geen with spaces dedicated to gardens, so expect fresh air to lighten your head.
