I'm lying in bed and brainstorming #datenight ideas lmao. What would I do if right now was a date.
Drive into town and get burgers to go. Sit in the parking lot and feed each other milkshake-covered fries. Get progressively cozier as the night turns cold. #datenight
Put on something danceable and romantic, like Feist's ‘The Reminder.’ Dance a good show for a while, but eventually retire to a reclined snuggle on the couch with the music turned down low. #datenight
Get tipsy, hide under the covers, eat s'mores, and make out. It's okay if the sheets get a little messy. I'll lick the crumbs off your chest. #datenight
Play video games, only I'm tired and my heart isn't in winning. I rest my head on your lap as you do a solo campaign, not really paying attention to the screen. #datenight
Go watch an action movie, but like a good one not something dumb like the Avengers. Share a Coke and popcorn and afterwards just drive around town with future funk playing softly through the stereo. #datenight
Yes I managed to work a dig in at the Avengers lmao.
If it's daytime, pack sodas and a lunch and just drive out to the middle of fuck nowhere and hike around through the sagebrush. Make out against the side of your car when you return. #datenight
The best date I ever went on… well it was more of a weeklong roadtrip and it turned out not actually going so great but I don't think my heart has ever beat stronger. #datenight
Literally just hide the fuck out. Don't see anyone, don't go outside, don't change out of your pajamas. For like the whole day. Fix a nice breakfast, with orange juice (if you didn't have sex the night before) or English Breakfast (if you did). #datenight
You may think I'm being oddly specific with my drink choices here but let me tell you this shit matters.
If you have access and can afford it, go see a play and have a nice dinner before or afterwards. Talk about the performance when you get done. #datenight
The suspension of disbelief when you're watching a play is entirely different from the suspension of disbelief when you're watching a movie and the former is way more romantic.
Figure out something that they're fucking good at and you're fucking not and do it together to better understand their skills. #datenight
I should probably note at this point that I am not a Cosmo employee so take all of my advice with a grain of salt. I don't know the secrets.
Literally just pick a nice day and casually stroll through town. Go shopping, even if you don't buy anything. Grab some ice cream or w/e. It's not a successful date unless you end the day with your feet sore from strolling about. #datenight
Clothes shopping is romantic as fuck. Sorry if you're not into clothes but my type is people with good aesthetic sense.
@u2764 shopping for clothes with a partner is just the best
Ferris Wheels are really romantic because they're outside but enclosed, the view is great, and you have nothing to do but snuggle up against one another. #datenight
#datenight is like #kinkstodon only PG-13 and way hotter imo
Um… if you're really close… um… you can watch High School Musical together #datenight
🎶 This could be the start
🎶 Of something new
🎶 It feels so right
🎶 To be here with you
(This is a good time for a kiss 😉)
How long is this tootchain lol. I'm sorry. I only intended to do a few. It's just. I'm a huge romantic.
You know what really spawned all this was having Carly Rae Jepsen's ‘LA Hallucinations’ stuck in my head. It really sets the mood okay.
I'm going to listen to it one more time and then fall asleep. I should've been asleep hours ago but. Romance keeps me up~
Okay but Warm Blood is also a good song though.
@u2764 Because of the limitations of the medium? I've seen exactly zero plays.
@oyasumi I think it has to do with the set and staging, yeah. A lot more of a play happens in your head and because you're sitting far away all of the action has to be over-emphasized and extra dramatic.
@u2764 Note to self: Swallow pride, experience a theatre
@u2764 I always feel that time spent not talking during a date is time wasted :/
@Orwellia Talking is super important and great but I think the goal (imo) is to reach a level of understanding with a person where you don't have to be talking all the time to know what they're thinking. A lot of my ideas are probably not first-date material though.
@u2764 This is true, as someone who is terrible at nonverbal communication it;s difficult to get to that stage. First dates are never much fun in reality though so who cares about those.
@iximeow we… don't have public transportation?? lmao
@u2764 condolences :(
@u2764 these seem entirely too sexual
@trwnh well I didn't mean friend-dating but I encourage you to take it slow
@u2764 tbh i'm asexual and no idea where i am on the romantic spectrum and also debilitatingly socially awkward so uh
idk why I replied at all sorry
@u2764 but those all seem like cool things to do with people you love!!!! (except the making out and lap stuff but see previous tweet)
@trwnh The lap stuff isn't sexual really, it's just about physical proximity. You can't rest your head on someone's shoulder when they're gaming because they need to be able to move their arms. Still, that doesn't mean it has to work for you.
@u2764 yeah idk i have a hard time with physical affection haha! it's ok
These are all wonderful date night ideas yall should be taking notes for the next time you want to woo an awesome girl like me. I'm just saying.
