3 DATE NIGHT IDEAS
Date nights are so very important! When discussing our goals for 2018, my husband and I decided to have a real date night at least every month in advance. For my fellow Type-A people, this means if it’s scheduled-then it gets done. Here are some ideas that keep it real, keep it close and keep it frugal too!
GO SOMEPLACE SPECIAL…THAT’S IN DRIVING DISTANCE
We are fortunate to live close enough to drive to the beach in about in hour. So, sometimes we go for date night to the coast no matter what the weather. There are a few restaurants that we love that fortunately provide take out- so we usually grab that and head to the water. Whether we eat blanket style, or we camp out in the car for dinner- we always love staring at the ocean. For us, the sea centers and amazes our minds every time. If you do not live close to an ocean then a lake, pond, stream or even waterfall will probably do the trick!
TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR YOUTH
We started dating at such a young age and because of that we love our “taking it back” date nights. One of our favorites is bowling. It’s such a great place to go to play video games, get some drinks and food (and yes they deliver to your lane), and of course bowl a few strings. Up where we live, candle-pin rules! But I am sure classic bowling is just as fun! This date is always a festive time! You can get competitive with it and even make some awesome bets! Winner gets to sleep in!
KEEP THE CLASSICS ALIVE
If you know one thing about me- it may be that I love the movies. This obsession may be considered unhealthy I’m sure! However, I am not giving it up anytime soon! If we get a few hours to ourselves, but not a whole night, we love to head to the movies. I will admit that this date isn’t really cheap. The tickets are always rising and the snacks and drinks are insanity when it comes to price. We grab the membership where we are and we often share a drink (because they are so enormous) to help with cost. Also, look around your area to get even more deals. Some places have special prices for certain days and also even daily memberships (note to self….get this asap if you never have to work again).
If you have more time, you can even attend dinner before or afterwards. This allows great alone time where you can reconnect so easily. This seems simple, but with hectic schedules and lives it is so vital.
