Hello darlings! I’ve been dating my boyfriend for more than four years now and recently it’s been extremely easy to make our date nights simply a dinner and a movie. We love spending time with each other so we never really focused on making our date nights a new experience. But, I realized that there were so many other experiences and activities we could be doing together that would be spectacularly fun. So I’ve gone ahead and made a list for you guys to get ideas from as well!
(*** indicate the activity as something specific to Chapel Hill/the Triangle/NC)
