Do you have date nights?

[Ronni]

Fo those of you in relationships, it’s a serious question. “Date nights” are a big deal for the younger generation. My kids who are in committed relationships take date nights seriously.

We’ve done our share of babysitting for my daughter and her husband, my step daughter and her husband, so that they can have a date night.

For Ron and me, newly married as we are, date night is important too. Even though we don’t need to get a babysitter (unless it’s a need for a Lyft or Uber lol) we make “date night” special, something different than just going out for dinner because we’re too tired to cook.

It’s planned in advance. It’s talked about and arranged in a way that a quick dinner out just isn't.

So…do you do date nights from time to time? What do you do?

Every night is a date night here

We never had date night. After the kids were born if we couldn't take them with us we didn't go, I think the only times we dropped them off at my parents house was to attend a funeral or a wedding. Once in a great while we had dinner out on our anniversary.
It never occurred to us to have an evening to ourselves on a regular basis.

Date night is Date Lunch at Wendy's for burger AND an order of shared fries, once a month on a trip to the big city.

Works for me

 

[PamfromTx]

Date nights? Not if he can't hear me. Are you kidding me?!?

Seriously, we did go out (before the pandemic); it's been a while since we have enjoyed a night out. Better safe than sorry.

Do you have date nights?​

"No, and I don't eat dates during the day either, they make me 'loose'."

 

[jujube]

Hey, if I was going out on a date, it'd be with someone more exciting than ol' stick-in-the-mud. Heck, I've seen him with his clothes off several thousand times. I wonder if Bradley Cooper or Jason Momoa are available Saturday night?

(Just kiddin', honey, just kiddin'......)

I Wish!

Do you have date nights?​

Ever once-in-awhile

We'll pick a high end eatery

Git gussied up....and go 'out'

Kinda fun

and a break in routine

Donning the togs is a somewhat nice change





A good steak is always an attraction

A view is nice

No date night for me and Hubby. We like just staying home and enjoying ourselves in the peace and quiet of our own home.

 

[Sylkkiss]

Date Night? Gotta have someone to date first. Some of us have empty seats at the table, or the sofa these days.

When my hubby was alive, we had weekends away after stashing the kids with grandma or our siblings. It was much more fun when we had an empty nest though...

Not sure if this qualifies for a 'Date Night', but Pert Near every Friday Night if the weather permits,
we sit outside on the deck and enjoy a cocktail or two.
A hold over from our days of working and Friday night was when we would discuss the week and maybe solve the
worlds problems, etc.

Fun when one of us takes the conversation down a 'rabbit hole'; I can still learn things about my partner...

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I live alone, now. But I think the idea is a good one. You get all gussied up, and go out to a nice place, maybe some dancing......It's a good time to share. It's that something special, ya know, it's not a run to the dollar store to pick up mouse traps.

Been married to my husband for 10 years now and we still have date nights. Now since the pandemic it has changed up a bit with getting food delivered to the home and watching a Netflix movie cuddled on the couch, but still a good date night. We love keeping company with each other. My husband is a Lawyer so there are times during the week he works late so we try and make up for it with these date nights.

 

[Brummie]

not really sure what a date night is/ we live in Florida and people here go out to eat a lot if that is what you mean?
we go out about 2 x week.

 

[StarSong]

When our kids were growing up DH & I had a weekly date night. Once the nest emptied we stopped setting aside special dates. No need to schedule "alone" time because we had plenty of it.

Since the pandemic hit we cut way back on restaurant and other public eatery outings.

 

[PamfromTx]

No date nights for us. It is a struggle just to get out. And he drives like a maniac.

That is lovely Holly. I like cuddling on the couch too with hubby and watching a nice movie. The thing I would miss most if he was not there is not having dinner with him each night.

During the week when he works late it is tough when we eat dinner separately. I love sharing dinner time and just talking with him about his day over dinner.

 

[Sassycakes]

I just remembered what my husband told me when we got married. He said "No more date nights" so I listened to him and haven't gone out for a date with anyone else since then.

 

[Jace]

I had a date the other night...
And it was enjoyable...

Now..I'm gonna try a fig!

 

[Packerjohn]

Date Night? Pretty hard to have one when you live by yourself!

 

[fmdog44]

I have not heard "date nights' since the 60's

 

[mrstime]

When our stair-step 3 kids were at home we couldn't afford a date night, and now since they all grew up we don't need a date night. We still enjoy each others company after 64 years.
