It’s been established time and again that a regular date night is an important aspect of a healthy relationship. After all, if you can’t manage to set aside one night a week to spend quality time with your partner, you need to address your work/home/family balance and find a way to manage your time and responsibilities a little better. It can actually be a great reminder to work to live, and not the other way around. With that little lecture out of the way, here are three very naughty date ideas to fire up the romance on your next couple’s night out. Enjoy!

3 WAYS TO SHAKE THINGS UP ON DATE NIGHT

DO IT BACK-TO-FRONT

Hey, mind out of the gutter please! We only mean you should approach your date night from a brand-new angle. I.e. start out by lingering in a rose-scented bath, then get out to enjoy a vigorous bout of sex, get dressed to the nines, head out to dinner at your favourite lunch-time restaurant and end the night off with a stack of breakfast pancakes. This delightful topsy-turvy date is sure to change the way you look at date night chronology!

MAKE A BIT OF MISCHIEF

A sure-fire way to have a fun time is to play at being teenagers again. Dress up in all black and play toktokkie in your neighbourhood; give your guy a sneaky hand job in a movie theatre, or head out to a lookout point to get it on in the car. Bonus points if you institute a curfew and dress up in the style that was all the rage when you really were teenagers.

CHAT EACH OTHER UP

No matter how long you’ve been in your current relationship, it’s always fun to get a little bit of a flirt on. Instead of straying outside of the circle of trust, how about chatting up your partner again, for the very first time…? Here’s how: Arrange to meet each other at a bar, arrive separately, and ‘meet’ each other again, but this time as fantasy characters with elaborate, fictional back-stories.

These three naughty date ideas are sure to inspire quite a few of your own. Just remember, it doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive to be fun – as long as you have a good time with your partner and reconnect on a romantic level, date night could be anything you please.
