Okay, so Christopher and I have been dating for almost a year... this should be the happiest time in our relationship, however, since there is a limited amount of activities to do in this small town we live in I've been compiling a list of potential 'date night' adventures. Some of them are stay-home activities, while others are for a night on the town.
1. Make white-chocolate covered strawberries, together. Make sure that
you decorate them together and have fun with it. No need for them to
look perfect. It's super romantic. 2. Bake cookies together. Neither of us really eat sweets, however, I have a sweet craving for macadamia nut cookies every now and again. The important part is making them together, perhaps a fun flirty flour fight (lot of f's there ha ha!), don't be afraid to make a mess in the kitchen.
3. Visit the Planetarium. Kind of nerdy, I know. I am enrolled in grad school and I like the nerdy aspects of life and there is nothing wrong with being well rounded. Besides, intelligence is attractive.
4. Go for a long drive. When you're in the car you can talk, look at sights, sing (for us we sing horribly and loudly ha ha) it's a way to get goofy, and connect with your special someone.
5. Visit an Art gallery. Interpret art that you really have no idea what its saying or what it means. Pretend you are fancy uptown art critics, who knows the art may really speak to you (not that we can afford any of it).
6. Attend a painting class. The art gallery may have inspired you to paint abstract or.... well that's the only real art term I know. (ha ha) Or stay in and paint on your own canvas with no direction, who knows maybe buy some body paint and paint each other. ;) 7. Attend a local live music band of the genre of your choice. It's usually free, and a great way to find new bands!
8. Create a scrapbook, corny maybe, however it will give you hours of looking back on old memories and good laughs. Christopher and I share the same birthday, so we started taking a picture on our birthday in the same place each year. Maybe we'll try to put together a fun birthday scrapbook.
9. Go strawberry picking (or blueberry, or oranges, apples etc.). It's something that if you are from the city, like me, the only fruit picking you've done is off the supermarket shelf. It's something that you can certainly do together and if you pick big enough ones, you can go home and decorate them. Two dates in one night! ha ha
10. Visit garage sales. One person's trash is another person's treasure, cliche maybe, true definitely. You never know what people are going to throw out and given the right price you can restore it together, kind of like a couples project. If you live together it may make a great addition to your home.
I'm going to try these out, I'll keep you updated if the ideas hold any romance. I know sometimes the same old dates get boring, if I get any more brilliant ideas I'll be sure to keep you posted. Good luck, and if you have any ideas we can try comment or Facebook me!
Here's to date nights and making memories,
Whitney
