Okay, so you've just met this great person, and they asked you out, or vise versa and its the night before "the big date." Your nervous, of course you are its perfectly natural. You go out, have a great time and end up dating. Great! you couldn't be happier. 5 months later it finally hits you... that was the only date you were ever on. What do you do? Make a date plan! I know what your thinking, is it still called a date even if your dating? or why would we go on a date when..well.. we're already in a relationship. Dates keep the relationship alive. I know, money is tight or maybe you don't have much time to go out every night of the week.. who really does have the money or time no matter what age. You should owe it to your relationship to at least try and go do something with one another at least every couple of months. Why? Well just think about it.. remember when you had your first awesome date with this person? wasn't it exciting, full of laughs, smiles and little touches here and there? Wouldn't it be nice to get that spark again and just have a great time and just take in the beauty of your relationship, especially if your in love? I would hope so. Here's the best idea, pick something that you both will enjoy and make sure you agree on it, and plan a day to do it, maybe its cheap movie night sometime during the week, or your favorite restaurant has a special or buffet on at some point. If you both want to get out and have a night to yourselves, do it! Even trying something new is also a great idea. You need to keep the passion in a relationship especially a long term one.. after 2 months your out of the "honey moon stage" and into some actual work. Great relationships do take work, and you need a relaxing date just to appreciate the time spent and how great it feels to be this far into your relationship and still going strong. So what are you waiting for? snag yourself a great date with that great person.. and enjoy the excitement, laughs, smiles and as much touches as you want.
