5 Date Ideas to Try This Month (That Aren’t Dinner and a Movie)

Whether the two of you whip up homemade pasta every Sunday or insist on ordering take-out, switch things up by having a pizza-making contest. This allows for not only friendly competition but also an opportunity to spend quality time together in a different capacity. Arm yourselves with all the necessary ingredients (the more toppings, the better) and determine whose is the most professional looking—aka the roundest. Winner gets to choose the next show to binge.

Rather than changing out of your flannel PJs to head to your usual brunch spot (is winter over yet?), host your own at home. Pull out all the stops by properly setting the table and cooking up fancy dishes like quiche with sweet potato crust or pumpkin pie stuffed French toast.

Trust us, nothing will test your relationship more than trying to agree on how many bones are in the human body. In addition to finding out which one of you knows more about anatomy (don’t worry, we know it’s you), you’ll be able to test your patience and teamwork. Psst, it’s 206.

But instead of painting it yourself, swap with your partner and let them decorate it based on what they think you’d like. At the end, switch back and admire each other’s handiwork. Now your little candy stash will have much more meaning behind it.

Get your endorphins flowing by exercising together. Better your balance with a double downward dog or sign up for a pumped-up boxing class. Complete your class by hitting the sauna together or getting a couples massage to wind down.
