The Date Night Diagnostic

Discover if your evenings together are sparking genuine connection or just stuck on repeat.

We all know the drill: "Where do you want to eat?" "I don't know, where do you want to eat?" Suddenly, it's 8 PM, you're at the same neighborhood spot, and you're talking about the electric bill. There is a fine line between a comforting ritual and a romantic rut. Let's look at how you and your partner spend your evenings, and figure out how to trade the predictable for something a little more electric.

The questions

  1. It’s 6 PM on a Friday and neither of you has a plan. What happens next?
  2. When you’re sitting across from each other at dinner, what’s the primary topic of conversation?
  3. How much effort goes into getting ready for a night out together?
  4. Be honest: where is your phone during a date?
  5. You’re trying a brand new, highly recommended restaurant, but the food is terrible. Your reaction?
  6. What is your biggest fear when it comes to spending a dedicated evening together?
  7. Think back to your last three dates. How similar were they?
  8. How do you usually end a date night?
