Date Night

in Not Engaged Yet

I don't know about you all, but sometimes it seems like life is so crazy that we forget to have US time.  Do you all have a regular 'date night' with your SO?  And what do you do on your date nights? 

I just txt FI and told him we desperately need a date night, especially before the wedding.  We've both been stressed out about so much and the wedding that we haven't really had a night to just be together and have fun without thinking of all the craziness going on.

    Date nights are so cute.

    BF and I don't live together, so we see each other most Saturdays which you could call our date night. We don't always go out, we do just like to stay in and watch movies or whatever...

    I've had friends tell me that we're really good at coming up with date ideas though. We do regular stuff like dinner and movies, but we also go to theatres a fair amount as well. Magic shows are our favourite! Glow in the dark mini putt is always fun too :)

    Me and BF pretty much do the same...

    We have discovered this really cool comic book store in my town and we are going this Sunday...we like browsing through bookstores (cuz we're nerds like that)

    We go see movies when we got out...dinner sometimes. We usually plan a date night like once a month or so.

    We don't really have a specific date night. We've been *trying* to save some money so anytime we actually do go out is with his BFF and his GF. I did however find a coupon for 4 games of bowling, 2 show rentals, and 2 pops for $10 so I bought that for us.

    I'm pretty sure we will be seeing Jackass 3D soon.

    That's a pretty awesome coupons score Kathleen!

    LOL @ Jackass 3D - I have a feeling we'll be going to see that too.  I used to always resist and say I hated Jackass, but in a strange, sick way, it's pretty dang funny.

    Oh, and speaking of date nights - Have any of you seen that movie - Date Night?  After we seen it we said we were going to start calling ourselves The Triplehorns when we made reservations.  Hah.

    FI and I have date night. Its on Wednesday nights. Started this earlier on in our relationship. Since we both have demanding jobsm, we have had to move it a day earlier or later depending on if one of us has to work late.
    We each take turns planning date night. The great thing is that we have a week to come up with an idea. 2 weeks ago, my idea was to re-create our first date 3-years ago. Last week, he decided to make it "Friday on Wednesday" so we went to TGIF. This week was dinner and a movie.
    Next week, I was thinking we'll make it a "Mii night" since its my turn to plan. Yes, we're corny like that :-).
    We don't put too much pressure on each other though as far as coming up with ideas. We just promised each other that we'll put some thought into it. Even if it is finding the closest Chipotle or an awesome restaurant coupon deal. It all counts because we know we were thinking of each other when planning it.

    Hah - Nooo way not a Yankees fan at all - GO CARDINALS!  Things are going good - no not done with everything but I figure it'll either come together or it won't.  I think I've gotten to the point where I'm so stressed out that I just don't care - as long as we end up married, that's all that matters!

    Ditto this. If only Steve Carell were that outgoing IRL. He came into BBB when I worked there. I tried to have a conversation with him but he wasn't having it. I thought he would because I wasn't all starstruck, but oh well.

    FI and I don't have specific date nights, but we go out together pretty often.  We are gonna need to cut down on that so we can save for the wedding though.  LOL.  Our new date nights will probably involve cooking dinner together and watching a redbox movie, which is fine with me.  Not only are we saving money, but we'll probably be eating better too.

    Is it sad that I am looking forward to tonight like none other and our plans for the evening are cleaning BF's apt, doing BF's laundry, eating something, and finishing the night with Beauty and the Beast (Platinum Edition)?


    We have to keep it cheap cause we are in college, so a lot of our "dates" are on campus and we use our "flex points" which is just code for dollars that are only good on campus. However I am all good with this, because used to we only saw each other on weekends, and now we see each other pretty much every day.

    Our date nights are usually simple little things like Farmer's Market on Thursday or going to the drive-in when something decent is showing on it.

    Last night at Farmer's Market I got a delicious chocolate-chocolate cupcake with pretty purple sprinkles on it :3

    Fourth Anniversary First Comment Combo Breaker Name Dropper

    I declared that each month around our anniversary, we'd go on a date. This will only be the second month for that, but so far I'm happy with it. We still go on other dates (but never call them that), but I was finding that we weren't spending the same quality time together now that we live together, so declaring an official date night helps with that. We went to dinner last month. I'm hoping to go to a haunted house or corn maze or to a movie this month, maybe dinner as well.

    We usually go out one night each weekend.

    The best (which we don't do as often anymore) is to go to "beginner's night" at the local ballroom dace studio followed by the Cheesecake Factory for dinner.

    Last Friday night we got dinner and saw "Easy A," which was pretty funny.
