Twinkle Thoughts

1. Random Location Date

If you are up for a little adventure, try heading to a random place for your date night.  There are a few different ways you can do this.  You could click on something within a certain distance from your house in the maps app on your phone without looking at it.  There are apps that give you random locations to visit.  You could also just head out in your car or on foot, depending on if you live in the city or not, and see where the road takes you.  One fun idea is to flip a coin every time you come to an intersection to decide which way to go.  Once you are at your destination, find the closest thing to do and do it.  This could be a restaurant you have never tried or a store you’ve never been to, but it doesn’t have to be.  Be creative with whatever place you find.

2. “Act Like a Kid” Date

Just because you have kids doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to still act like one sometimes.  On your next date night, plan to do something usually reserved for people younger than yourselves.  This could be as simple as playing in the snow in the winter or jumping in a pile of leaves in the fall.  You could go to an amusement park, trampoline park, arcade, or try paintball or laser tag.  Think of something you loved to do as a kid, and then do it together.

Another version of this date: do something you were never allowed to do as a kid.  Did you go to the museum a lot but never get to see the interactive exhibits that cost a few extra dollars?  Was the county fair a summer staple, but you only got to walk around and not play games or ride rides?  You’re an adult now.  You can do whatever fun thing you want.  Satisfy younger you by doing something you missed out on.

3. Mall Date

Going to the mall or a store can already be a date for some people, but here are some ways to make it extra fun.  Go to a dollar store, set the timers on your phones, and split up to see who can find the better present for the other person for only a buck.  You could go to a bookstore or library with a package of sticky notes and a pen and leave notes to future readers in your favorite books.  Reading the funniest or most cringey lines you can find in books can also be fun.
