The Unhurried Evening: A Better Way to Plan Date Night
Start earlier than feels necessary, cook something long, and leave the evening deliberately unfinished.
A slower approach to date night: start early, cook something long, put the phones in another room, and leave the evening deliberately unfinished.
What's said
An unhurried evening is not complicated, but it does need one decision: the night is not for getting things done. Start earlier than feels necessary. Cook something that takes a while on purpose, because the waiting is the point.
Open the good bottle, the one being saved for an occasion that keeps not arriving. This is the occasion. Set no alarm for the morning, if you can manage it.
Put the phones in another room, not face down on the table, because face down still counts as present. Candlelight does more work than it should be allowed to. And leave the evening slightly unfinished.
The whole idea is that nothing has to be anywhere. Date night guides and slow weekend itineraries are at Modern Love Living.
