When was the last time you and your partner did something silly together? If you can’t remember, it’s time to fix that with an adult playdate. Kids have playdates with their besties all the time, but they shouldn’t be the only ones having fun because playing is important for both our physical and mental health. Not only is it a good time, but according to Cafe Mom, research shows people who laugh every day have a lower rate of heart disease. Cafe Mom had some great ideas for dates so I thought I would give you my local picks for great dates that will spice up your social life too!
When planning dates with your partner, it is important to consider both of your interests and schedules. Try to find activities that you both enjoy and that allow for quality time together. It can also be helpful to switch up the types of dates you go on, such as trying new restaurants, going on outdoor adventures, or staying in for a cozy night.
Communication is key when planning dates, so be sure to discuss your ideas and preferences with your partner to ensure a successful and enjoyable experience. Also, try to be open-minded. If something doesn’t sound like you would be into it, instead of shutting it down, take it as an opportunity to expand your horizons. You might even surprise yourself.
