Who doesn't like the fair? The Los Angeles County Fair is a yearly tradition around these parts, giving couples (and of course singles) an opportunity to get outside in some of the best weather L.A. can offer Started back in the 1920's, the LCF offers rides, games, food and drink, arts and entertainment, animals and much more. Going on a couples date, you can challenge one another to a variety of games, with the losers having to buy food and drink for the winning duo. In 2016, the Fair hosts prehistoric creatures once only seen in books and movies, a full-service ice skating rink and shopping promenade, and an exhibit filled with actual human bodies, specimens and organs. Even though the Fair is a ways down the road, get together with another couple or two and book your date for fun.

Didn't think a movie night in a cemetery could be romantic? Perhaps you are a tad too scared to go by yourselves, so drag another couple to a night under the stars at Fairbanks Lawn. We promise, the residents won't make too much noise. Dating back to 2002, the movies allow you and others to cuddle up together on a blanket and watch some cinematic offerings, albeit while the residents sleep. Seating is entirely on a first-come first-served basis. You can also enjoy music before and after the movie. Check with Cinespia for upcoming shows later this year.
