When last did you take your man on a date?
September is (un)officially 'Take Your Man On A Date' month. Here's how you can spoil your partner.
Men traditionally are the ones who take women out on dates, but it is time for women to switch things up.
Social media users have declared September 'Take Your Man On A Date' month, and who are we to miss out on an opportunity to spoil the special men in our lives?
The unofficial holiday appears to have started around 2014, but it has been gaining popularity on the internet in recent years.
Some posts suggest going all out and spending $300 (R5200) - $500 (R8600) because men are hardly taken out on dates.
Uhm, in this economy? We think not! Here are some fun and affordable date ideas.
Restaurant Hopping: They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so restaurant hopping will surely put a smile on your partner's face. Choose three new places you want to visit and have a starter at one restaurant, a main at another and dessert at a third.
Craft beer tasting: Depending on what type of alcohol your man loves, organise a tasting for them to sample several different types. Johannesburg has some excellent craft beer tasting venues, including Brewhogs Micro Brewery and Hazeldean Brewing Co.
Picnic on the beach: If you are strapped for cash but still want to treat your man, a picnic on the beach is always romantic. You can put your basket together with food that you already have in your kitchen.

Fun activities: Men typically enjoy activity-based sports like pool/snooker, mini golf, darts, paintball, bowling, karaoke, axe throwing, and kart racing.
Live events: A comedy show, a concert, and a rugby/soccer match are fun ways to make memories.Extra points if it is your partner's favourite comedian, singer or football team.
Dance class: Adult dance classes are a great date idea because they involve physical touch.
Regardless of what you plan, your man will enjoy being spoiled.
