All Yoongi really cares about is quality time with Y/N, and could turn even a grocery date into something romantic, but he'd love a shared interest date. Bar-hopping the best spots in the city, taking the subway all giddy and in love. Picking out sheet music together and taking the day to learn it, or composing together. Then, there's the Yoongi who likes to show you off, and secretly lovesss a bit of glamor on fancier dates. Exclusive speakeasies, getting dressed up for the occasion. Tickets to the symphony, ballet, or movie premiere. Saving up to design matching jewelry for each other (omg)

$ - A piano lesson, a charcuterie board, and an evening in the game room playing pool and... fooling around (iykyk)

$$$- Picking out nice outfits AND accessories for one another, going to a nighttime market in the city/catch an arthouse film, eating pizza by the slice picnic-style in the Common

$$$ - Planning a weekend trip to a whiskey distillery or a vineyard for tastings, food pairings, and time to catch up in a cozy, almost storybook-like inn. Would probably surprise Y/N w the jewelry they designed

A favorite date of Yoongi's would actually be catching a movie at a drive-in, getting burgers and milkshakes at a diner, and pretending like it was the 80's for a night. Whimsy <3

Hoseok honestly wins the award of most fun date, and the best planner. Wants to get her blood pumping and surprise her! Competitive bowling, mini-golf, even laser tag. Going on regular hikes, a rock-climbing date. Making a DIY "waterpark" in the back yard (sprinklers LOL). Either it would be a fun adventure, or Hoseok would plan something sexy and romantic, sensual or relaxing for both of them. A couple's dance class, Tango or "Dirty Dancing" style. He'd learn massage techniques, planning an intimate evening in to experiment. Planning a short trip to somewhere warm, a resort or a spa~

$ - Making kites together to fly, going on a sunset walk, playing games in his bedroom later on such as "Never Have I Ever" or "Truth or Dare" until things heat up too much (OMG!)

$$ - To put those dance lessons to use, Hoseok would buy Y/N a new dress for her to wear and take her somewhere they could listen to good music and let loose...

$$$ - His dream date would be a tropical romantic getaway, perfectly balanced with active fun (paddle boarding!), relaxation (spa treatments!), and romance (ahem.) Making sure his girl is getting treated like a QUEEN.

Thrills and frills aside, Hoseok's favorite date(s) would always be one Y/N would plan. One in particular: a scavenger hunt that would lead them around all of their favorite spots in town, ending with takeout and cuddling <3

Dating would be new terrain for Namjoon, but he'd always take romance with Y/N deathly serious. She's his one and only mate for life after all, and he'd study what dates she'd love to go on, too. He'd find hidden cozy book stores to take her to. Events at the Museum of Fine Arts, with champagne and charity auctions. Going on a mini-roadtrip to Salem for Halloween, staying in a historical bed and breakfast. As he'd become more comfortable with his vulnerable, softer side, that's when he'd start to enjoy private, intimate dates. Reading to her (classics? lore? erotica?) while she takes a bath, discussing the book late into the night beneath his sheets. Camping, taking the van, stargazing. Creating a combined book of memories and knowledge together, over many dates.

$ - Playing several rounds of chess, paint-and-sip, reading each other's Tarot, falling asleep skin-to-skin

$$ - First, going to a show at the Planetarium at the Museum of Science, then catch some live music together, followed by a walk through at least two dessert shops for pastries to share later in the evening.

$$$ - Could definitely meticulously plan a long-term roadtrip hitting up every "haunted" or "magical" place Y/N wished to visit, all in the name of spending endless time with her, and the $ would of course go towards nice places to stay. Stealing her away lmao

Namjoon's favorite date? The day (rainy, hopefully) spent in the library together, ducking in and out of coffee shops, sharing an umbrella, playing a cat-and-mouse game of blatant flirting and PDA until someone broke!

Hopeless romantic Jimin would have dream dates prior to ever meeting Y/N. His daydreams would begin to revolve around her, and he'd always end up planning something straight out of a novel. Picnics-- he'd pick a stunning spot, pack a basket, catch fireflies when the sun goes down. Going berry or apple picking, ice skating, cherry blossom viewing: seasonal dates. Making something together, such as a birdhouse. The coyote also has a sense of wild adventure/urge for exploration, as does Y/N: Day or weekend trips up and down the East Coast, checking tourist traps off of a bucket list. Going to an amusement park as a date, wearing matching outfits, of course. Finding a state fair, eating from food trucks and buying each other trinkets.

$ - Gardening date, naturally! Sunshine, iced tea, doing some flower arranging together and picking herbs for dinner, an evening ride through the trails with Vista

$$ - Going into the city, afternoon spent admiring architecture, then getting high tea (with the mini sandwiches and scones!) followed by catching a show/ballet

$$$ - Tickets to a botanical garden at night, where they professionally light the foliage and play live music, a proper candlelit dinner, and attending the afterparty (classy!)

Jimin's all-time favorite date would be setting up a projector screen in the backyard, against the stable, and watching old classics with Y/N on a warm summer night. Surrounded by their garden, on plenty of cozy blankets and pillows :')

Taehyung is as creative as he is... intense, when it comes to the kind of dates he dreams of going on. He wants to get deep, get weird, make art, the kind of way you can only get with a lover. Going to late-night record spinning cafes, tucked away in a hidden booth until closing, chatting over cocktails. Planning and taking suggestive photoshoots, turning them into art books or even films. Enjoying artsy nightlife (local music, galleries, dancing) until the sun comes up, getting a little lost together. He's also... such a lover of the home, lazing around, clinging to Y/N as a date. Making shared playlists and burning them on CDs. Asking Y/N to show him how to meditate, or make protective pouches. Buying washable paint to use on each other for.... photos!

$ - They'd go out at the crack of dawn to pick up fresh donuts and coffee, catching the sunrise for pictures of the sky AND each other, returning later in the afternoon to develop the photos at home

$$ - Get drinks at the brewery (Salem's, in the fic), pick up expensive wine to enjoy with takeout, tipsily mess around with cameras at home

$$$ - Heading into the city, spending the entire day thrifting clothes and records for one another, check into a hotel for the night, then change into the new outfits and head to a jazz club <3

Hands down, Taehyung's favorite date would be renting a photo studio with money from his photography club and taking a boudoir shoot of/with Y/N. Pretty sets, props, outfits and uh.. lace! He'd keep snapshots in his wallet.

Jeongguk might not be known for being a romantic, but that wouldn't mean he'd be a nonchalant lover. He'd love opportunities to be protective, or even possessive, and would also love to please/show off. Taking her to underground metal concerts, but keeping her well-guarded from the pit, buying her whatever merch she wanted. Axe throwing, treating her to her favorite meal when he inevitably does better than her. Going to an arcade as a date, winning enough tickets to get her the biggest plushie they have. The elk hybrid is a secret softie, and would put effort into taking her to nice spots (he'd be a blushing mess) so he could hear her gush over him. Rooftop bars and restaurants on anniversaries, like clockwork, with gifts and desserts with candles. VIP tickets to her favorite band's show. Planning a date that would end with a fireworks show.

$ - Easy. He'd pick a new haunted location, whisk her away, and see what kind of trouble they could stir up. The only twist: if they don't catch anything paranormal, they'll find better use of the film...

$$ - Going out for all-you-can-eat hot pot/KBBQ/sushi, going on a nighttime ghost tour, horror movie marathon neither of them pay attention to back at home

$$$ - Traveling overseas with Y/N, even just for a long weekend, particularly to Vatican City or Transylvania. A romantic European vacation, in particularly spiritually charged spots with his girl is his dream expensive "date". Capturing evidence would be a bonus

Jeongguk's favorite date oh my goodness. He'd eventually find a tattoo shop he liked in town, and he'd casually suggest matching ink or a piercing. Well, it would happen, and they'd get to soothe each other through the process the whole time.....
