In a perfect world, we would all have the full experience of romance when it comes to dating-just as the movies told us it should be.
We would have the best dates every day and always be ready to drop everything for some quality time with our significant others, because all that matters is "love" right?
It doesn't take us long to realize that these expectations aren't reality. We have busy work and daily schedules, sometimes over the weekend too, which can hinder us from having date nights consistently.
However, with plenty of hope and a bit of creativity, you will find ways to keep the romance alive even when you're both very busy. To juggle all you have on your plate and create some time for your boo, here are a few ways you can spend that precious time:
Double date nightHaving a date doesn't always mean that it must be the two of you alone all the time. You might not like the idea of sharing a date with other friends and their partners but, this might be what you need to bring more fun into your relationship.
With a double date, you get to spend time with your friends and have a date at the same time. This is perfect because now you won't have to plan a date with your girlfriends and your partner on different dates when your time is already limited.
Workout datesIf you're a couple that enjoys fitness, you could bond over a workout date. This is something different from the usual dinner dates, which could help you connect even more.
You could plan to meet up at a convenient gym spot after work and have a fun workout session. That way you're spending time together and taking care of your to-do list.
