1. Destination Date Surprise
Picture: your date is none the wiser about your whereabouts, but you have a little trip in store for them. It doesn’t have to be a wacko trip—just a nearby city, a drive, or even a new coffee shop yet to try out. Not knowing is an added touch of romance. Double bonus for having a little “puzzle” in the days leading up!
2. Cook a Gourmet Dinner Together
Dinner at a fancy restaurant is sweet, but nothing beats preparing a meal together at home. Pick a dish a little out of your comfort zone—homemade ravioli, sushi, even a multi-course meal. Candles, a soft soundtrack, and a real date environment await. Don’t forget dessert, naturally—chocolate fondue, say?
3. Learn a Dance Together (Or Dance at Home)
You don’t have two left feet to try your hand at this one. Salsa, waltz, even a trending TikTok challenge: dancing together creates a carefree and intimate atmosphere for your date. Don’t have an outlet for your inner disco? Clear out your room and your couch and tables and have your little dance studio at home. Fairy lights and a slow waltz in your living room? Instant couples’ bliss.
4. Re-create That First Date
Throw it back to when it all started! Have a date at that same restaurant, in an outfit resembling one that you wore that night, and sit down and discuss how life changed over the years. In case your first date wasn’t high-class, then even better—this will have a nostalgic and sweet environment to it. And for an additional level, write one another little “love letters”
