Date night questions that beat talking about work

Most date nights drift back to work, the kids or the week ahead. These questions are about the two of you: dates worth repeating, plans worth making and the small things you notice about each other. They are light enough to ask over dinner and still lead somewhere.

Pick three before you leave and take turns asking one between courses. Save the last one for the walk or drive home.

1. Which of our dates would you happily do again?
2. What would you like us to try together for the first time?
3. What’s the best meal you’ve ever had out?
4. Where would you take me if we had next weekend free?
5. What’s something you’ve enjoyed recently that you think I’d enjoy too?
6. What do you want to talk about on the way home from a party?
7. A favorite artist in a tiny venue, or a huge festival?
8. What’s a gift you’d love to receive but wouldn’t buy for yourself?
9. What are you looking forward to doing together?
10. What is something you would like us to make more time for together?
11. What’s a story you tell about us that I always remember differently?
12. What do you notice about how I act when we're alone together?
13. When do you find me funniest?
14. Have you ever met someone famous? What were they like?
15. What have you been wanting to learn lately?
16. Which couple we know would you enjoy going on holiday with?
