types of dates with spencer reid:
- museum dates; he’d have facts about almost everything there, i also feel like he’d occasionally convince someone to let you in late at night when its empty so you can actually take your time looking through the exhibitions or have a special first look at new exhibitions
- coffee dates; he’ll take you to a really cute and quaint coffee shop, you love making him try new drinks especially those that dont have 8 spoons of sugar in them (he really likes frappuchinos and vanilla syrup and you laugh because of course it still had to be super sugary)
- picnic dates; he hates germs so this wouldnt be his first choice but theres something about how etheral you look in the sunlight and the smile on your face when youre in nature, that makes it so worth it he definitely lays down on your lap as you lean against a tree and read your respective books and he most definitely accidentally falls asleep
- library dates; theres something so comforting about choosing out books for each other and sitting in silence and reading them, the fact that you dont need to say words to enjoy others presence is something he loves, bonus point once you both finish your books you discuss them at great lengths and it can often lead to some heated debates if you disagree on a point
- stargazing dates; much like picnic dates except at night, laying back and staring at the stars leads to deep conversations about the future which used to scare him but knowing no matter what his future holds you’ll be right beside him turns it into something he looks forward to everyday
- movie dates; these are fun because he usually takes you to see really old films or foreign films so the place is normally empty, he spends his time whispering translations or occasionally blurting out facts about the movie/actors (after a few trips you manage to convince him that making out in an empty theatre is just as fun as actually watching the movie)
- lazy day dates; if he has a rare day off you both will just sit around the house and do absolutely nothing, you’d probably start the morning off by cooking a fun breakfast together and dancing around the kitchen in your pyjamas, not a care in the world... just cherishing the moments you have together, the rest of the day is spent napping, cuddling and binge watching movies/shows he’s never seen before
- lazy late night dates; generally occur if he had to miss a date because he was called away, he’ll show up at your door probably exhausted, you’ll lay in bed and read to him, slowly running your hands through his hair to soothe him your voice lulling him into a sleep, its not really a date but its time spent together
- magic show dates; niche but definitely something that happens when he takes you back to vegas, he loves magic and loves being able to show you the tricks after figuring out how they did it, the look of pure joy and pride on your face makes him so incredibly happy and also he just really loves magic !!
- games night dates; the games played just depend on the mood, if its a relaxed night its just puzzles, if you’re feeling adventurous you’d pick out video games and teach him how to play (he loves animal crossing), he teaches you how to play poker but doesnt let you win, he may be your boyfriend but he is sooo competitive letting you win isnt an option 
- going out/dinner dates; this normally happens on special occasions i.e. celebrations or birthdays you both generally perfer to stay at home but sometimes its fun to go out to fancy restraunts and dress up super nice plus the food is a welcome change from the usual quick meals and take outs you both survive on
- virtual dates; ok this became a staple in your relationship especially when spencer was gone for longer periods of time, you’d convince him to get a smartphone or at least a laptop with a decent webcam and he’d set it all up and you’d have dinner over facetime or read to each other and just enjoy each others company even miles away from each other (he definitely falls asleep on facetime because hes so exhausted, you dont have the heart to end the call so when he wakes up and hears light snoring he nearly has a heart attack thinking someones in the room with him until he realises youre fast asleep with the call still going)
