What Plans Should You Make for Your Next Date Night?

You have already secured the prize because you've either been dating for a long time or you're married. You just want a chance to relax with your partner after a long day of work or some time away from the kids. So, head for a movie you will both enjoy and then treat yourselves to a delicious dinner afterward so you can discuss the highlights. If you want to spice it up, find a drive-in theatre or go to a play instead!

A surprise vacation is a great date if you already know your partner well and you don't have a small budget. Select a location that your partner loves or has always wanted to visit. You will have to be organized to make all the travel arrangements, including time off work for both of you, while keeping the big secret!

Blind dates or new relationships can be a little nerve-wracking and awkward. Learning something together by taking a class will help to ease the tension and give you something to talk about as the night goes on. What's more, even if the relationship doesn't work out, you won't ever regret learning a new skill.

Indoor rock climbing, ice skating, surfing. . . These are activities to enjoy with a fit, active partner. Besides being fun, athletic activities boost 'feel-good' hormones in your body, making you happy and ready to fall in love. After a long day of physical activity, hold hands and watch the sunset in a beautiful natural location.

When your relationship is at its best at at its worst, you should remember the good times. You can do this by recreating your fondest memories, perhaps visiting the same restaurant you dined at for your first date or wearing the same outfit you wore the day of your first kiss.

You are a busy person, and you don't have a lot of time to spend dating. That doesn't mean you can't get to know someone and have a good time, but you will have to put in the effort to create a fun mini-date. You can either make a short date (less than an hour) or combine your date with something that you have to do anyway (cook dinner). So, invite someone for a coffee during your lunch break or invite your special buddy over to watch a movie while you do laundry!
