If you're dating, it's easy to get into a rut by going to the same restaurant or other location over and over.
Alpharetta, Roswell and all of North Fulton offer plenty of great date spots that will let you explore some new activities or locations, including these five:
Urban Escape
20 Mansell Court East #275, Alpharetta. 678-805-2189. urbanescapegames.com.
Escape rooms give you and your date the chance to bond by working together to solve clues. For an Atlanta-themed room, try Urban Escape's CDC Lockdown, in which you have to stop the outbreak, find the antidote, and save the world. Other rooms include Jewel Heist, which challenges you to steal from the world's greatest thief, and Mr. Magic, where you'll be trying to puzzle your way through the magician's props to escape.
Each escape costs $28 plus tax.

Topgolf has a high-tech driving range – and a lot more. Catch the game on one of the upscale sports bar's more than 200 TVs, or try some food and beverages and hang out in the lounge or on the rooftop terrace.
If you decide to try your hand at golf, you'll find that they're embedded with microchips that help keep track of your score as you hit the targets.

Vickery Creek Trail at Roswell Mill
Departs a trailhead on Riverside Road in Roswell. http://www.atlantatrails.com/hiking-trails/roswell-mill-vickery-creek-trail/.
This trail provides a perfect romantic setting as it takes you and your significant other through beautifully forested areas. The hike isn't too difficult, so you'll be able to easily talk along the way. You'll cross several creeks and be able to see the ruins of Roswell Mill and also cross over a covered wooden bridge.
Take some time to enjoy the spillway waterfall, which makes a wonderfully scenic backdrop for your date.
