Ohhh… the winter time. Such a beautiful time of the year! It’s especially beautiful if you have a special someone to share it with! A date doesn’t have to be the boring, cliché “dinner and a movie.” I know if you have that special someone, you want to be different. Right? Well there are A LOT of things that you can do.
Well during the winter time, it is obviously cold and when it’s cold you want something to warm you up. So maybe you and that special someone can cook a delicious dinner together. It gives you time to spend with them and you learn a lot about them…like if they’re going to be able to cook for you later on down the relationship (if you know what I’m saying…)! Or if you’re not into the whole cooking idea, come up with different recipes for hot chocolate and test them out to see which ones taste the best. Who knows, that could become your guys’ traditional drink for the whole winter season!
If that idea is too cheesy for you, try doing something fun, but put a unique twist on it. For example, try “EXTREME SLEDDING.” Regular sledding is boring…so try being silly and doing fun tricks while sledding. You can make vines or instavideos of you and your significant other doing silly things together to remember how fun you had. Just try not to get hurt in the process! If you’re not in a place with snow don’t think you can’t try this idea! Get a cardboard box, find a hill, and go dry sledding! This might even be way more fun because it’s sillier and more out of the box (pun intended).
And here is one for the couples who enjoy spending lazy days together:
Get a whole bunch of holiday movies and have a marathon. Play Twister in between movies, cuddle, and just enjoy that down time that you have with your significant other.
Your dates don’t have to be complicated. A date is spending time with someone that you like or maybe even are in love with. Do something that helps you get to know every side of them better, because as much as you think you know everything about that person, you really don’t. Doing something fun, silly, and out of the box can show you what kind of person they are and maybe even show you why you fell in love (or in like) with that person! That’s always a good feeling to be reminded of that feeling.
So, enjoy your dates. Go do something fun and crazy and be safe!
