It used to be that when you said you had a “date” it meant you were going someplace. Perhaps you were heading out to dinner, to a movie, a concert, dancing at a Club … That kind of thing. However, in the era of streaming movies at home, a.k.a. “Netflix and Chill”, that definition may have changed some.
A new poll of 5,000 people in relationships asked what their favorite thing to do for a “date night activity”. Going out to dinner remains the top “date-night activity.” However, STAYING IN ranked at #2. In fact, four and possibly five of the top ten can be done by staying in.
Top 10 Date Night Activities
1. Going out to dinner. 46%
2. A night in together, 28%
3. Going to the movies, 22%
4. Cooking together, 15% (A staying in activity)
5. Going on a long drive, 13%
6. Shopping, 13% (If shopping ONLINE counts as a date, it couple done staying in)
7. A romantic walk on the beach, 10%
8. Going camping, 10%
9. Engaging in a hobby together, 10% (A possible staying in activity)
10. Game nights, 9% (A possible staying in activity)
Really, in this economy you have to do what you can to make it all work, right. I mean, I count DJing a wedding reception with my wife as my assistant as taking her out to eat.
