I have a confession to make
I am a romantic and I love, love. "Sappy Rom-Com watcher" should be a skill on my resume! Just because we are staying to ourselves during this time, doesn't mean we should totally neglect the romance in our relationships. It just takes a bit of planning and maybe a run to the grocery store. Romance can certainly be grand with lots of expensive gifts and trips but it can also be subtle and sweet (and friendly for your wallet). I'm sharing five ways you can give your partner googly-eyes while staying inside. Read on for the love!
Make a Fort!
You know, like when you were a kid? Grab some blankets and pillows then build an epic fort for the two of you to hang out in for an evening. You can cuddle up and watch a movie or just chit chat while gazing into each others eyesss. Once you both start to get hungry, the fort also doubles as the perfect place to have lunch or dinner.
Learn a Dance Together (TikTok or a classical ballroom dance)
If you and your S.O. are into staying active together, why not learn a dance together? It can be a TikTok dance (*side-eye) or if you're not into social media trends, you could learn a classical ballroom dance. YouTube University can help you sway the night away, or just step on each other's toes and laugh about it.
Make S'mores Together
The next time you head to the grocery store, go ahead and abandon your Keto diet for a moment and live a little. Grab some graham crackers, big marshmallows, milk chocolate and skewers that can withstand heat.
If you have a fireplace, light it up, get cozy and start roasting your marshmallows to gooey perfection so you can enjoy your tiny, sweet sandwiches. No fireplace? No problem. The stove works perfectly and eating your s'more standing up in the kitchen will be a cute experience for the both of you.
Dress up, Order Takeout and have an Indoor Dinner Date
You know what tastes good? Someone else's cooking! If you are in a place where you can order takeout, you should! Support locally run restaurants and order your favorite dish. You and your special someone can then get dressed, pick up your food, bring it home, set the table and enjoy your food while not in a big t-shirt in sweatpants.
Light Candles and give your Sweetie a Massage
Stress from the day to day hustle of this world we live in is exhausting. Light a few candles, dim the lights and give your S.O. a soothing massage to help them relax and unwind. Hopefully they will return the favor!
