Sometimes it’s easier to talk and get to know someone when you’re moving around. Also, if there’s an awkward pause, take a sip of your drink.

However, this is also a relaxed day date for couples. When life is busy, you don’t always have time to talk. This the perfect way to get away from distractions and just enjoy each other’s company.

Get in the car and just start driving. Or if you don’t have a car, get on public transportation. The goal is to not plan anything in advance and just see what happens. There’s bound to be something fun going on.

Whether you find a nearby town hosting a fun event or decide on a low-key dinner at a new restaurant, the idea is to try something new with someone you care about. Make sure to have fun and enjoy your spontaneous date day.
