How to Break Out of the Dinner Date Rut

HomeBlogHow to Break Out of the Dinner Date Rut

When you go on a date with your significant other, it’s easy just to go out to dinner and call it a night. But this can start to feel old after a while, and you may start to wonder what you can do to make date night feel fun again.

How to Break Out of the Dinner Date Rut

Here are some ideas for breaking out of that dinner date rut:

  • Start a project — This could be something small that you can finish up in a night, or a bigger project that lasts for a few weeks or months. Projects can be easier with two people, and doing them together can attach meaning and memories to the final result.
  • Go shopping — Choose a type of shopping you and your partner enjoy, whether it’s browsing a bookstore or thrifting, and share some laughs while you’re at it.
  • Finish something on your to-do list — If there is a task you’ve been avoiding, try doing it together. This will make the process more memorable and even more enjoyable.
  • Pick a board game — Board games are a great date night idea because you can maintain a conversation while you play. You can also play them at a park, at a café, or even at home on your kitchen table.
  • Get moving — It’s a good idea to stay active and even better if you do it with your partner. Try going for a hike, attending a workout class, or simply taking a walk.
  • Try a new time — Consider switching the time of day you usually go on a date. For example, if you normally go to dinner, try going out to breakfast.
  • Have fun — Take a trip to a theme park, play laser tag, go bowling, or try any other activity you used to enjoy when you were younger.
