Arcades, board games, picnics, oh my!
Have you had trouble getting a chance to connect with your significant other? Are you guilty (as we all are) of sitting all evening on the couch with your laptops and don’t spend time together? Trying to brainstorm for something fun to do that won’t be too expensive but isn’t too cutesy? Tara Block has curated an awesome list of date ideas for everyone, whether you’re a homebody or social butterfly.
A new study on play and relationships has found that playfulness may be key to attracting a significant other. Among the survey participants (ages 18-26), three traits stood out as topping their lists of traits they sought in a mate: “sense of humor,” “fun-loving,” and “playful.” And you don’t need a study to tell you that it’s good for your relationship when you and your man are laughing while enjoying a game night in or getting physical while playing an outdoor sport together. If you’re stuck in a humdrum dating rut, we’ve got 29 playful date ideas to get those friendly competition juices flowing and bring that spark back into your love life.
