In the midst of quarantine, it could be easy to forget about going on dates and how important they are. I have compiled a list of 5 date night ideas you could do to spice things up a bit!
Whether you already live together or not, this quarantine is probably the most amount of time we have ever spent with our significant other and it is important to take advantage of this strange situation to make your bond stronger and love each other even more. For some of you, you are loving it! For others, it’s easy to get trapped in negative sentiments, and that’s okay! Let yourself feel and communicate with each other as much as you can. Don’t forget that it’s never too late to step back, reflect, and appreciate each other.
Enjoy a Nice Dinner Together
You don’t need to go anywhere to have a fancy dinner date. Perhaps you could order in or recreate one of your favorite meals. After dinner is ready, dress up, light up some candles, and enjoy! This could be the perfect opportunity to experiment with food and play around with sauces. Carlos and I enjoy buying those Meal Kit Delivery Services to have all the ingredients needed and follow the recipe. This allows us to explore in the kitchen more and try new things.
Set Up a Wine Tasting Date
Host your own wine tasting party! Pretend you are in the Loire Valley in France or in Napa, California. Wine tasting is always fun no matter where you are (even at home). To prepare for this date night, you can follow the instructions here.
Virtual Museums Date
I recently posted on Instagram a picture of myself at the Louvre in Paris and the caption contained 5 famous museums that are currently doing virtual tours! (click here to see the picture). I only mentioned 5 of them, but there are SO MANY museums currently doing virtual tours. We are on quarantine – wanderlust fever is off the roof right now. Pick a museum, put on some nice clothes, and discover this museum virtually! Perhaps, you could end up LOVING IT and now you can add it to your bucket list.
Pick a New Hobby Together and/or Learn Something New
Movie/show date night? You could definitely make this a date. For example, every Tuesday at 8:00 PM is -insert show name here- time! Now you have a date every week to watch something you love together, but honestly, there are SO MANY things you could be learning while at home. Why not set up a schedule for these and make a date out of it? A few ideas include:
- Workout together
- Learn a new language
- Take photography lessons
- Build something
- Take dance lessons
- Do a puzzle
Game Night!
Use your phone, laptop, board games, tv, etc. The ways to have a game night are endless. Our favorite game night games include board games! Although physical board games could be the most fun, if you don’t have any available at home, you can always play online. One of the best websites for online board games in Tabletopia.
Once again, don’t forget to never ever stop dating each other! It could be something as simple as making dinner or watching your favorite show, but making it a “thing.”
