Love + Social Life: Date night ideas at home
Planning the perfect date night can be quite daunting for homebodies or introverted people, and the idea of a perfect date should not just revolve around going to an expensive restaurant that may put a dent on your bank account. There are numerous fun things you can do within your space :- particularly if your space has been designed with an infusion of your personality and lifestyle;
"A homebody is a person who enjoys being home and doing activities that center around their space".
Not everyone enjoys outdoor dates, most especially introverts. Ugh! The mere thought of leaving your oh-so-comfortable space and heading out makes you so anxious. Particularly for people who reside in traffic-prone cities like Lagos and other similar metropolia. No one gets stuck in a 5 hours of traffic and expects to have a wonderful time afterward.

So if you are thinking of planning a home-inspired rendezvous without feeling like a cheap stake to your date, then these indoor date ideas may just be the ones to try;
Binge a Movie together:-
Light a scented candle, get the popcorn, get a duvet if there is a need for it, and have the time of your life.
Let me let you in on a fun secret, the most delightful way to watch a movie at home is to move your bed to the living room, turn off the general light, turn on the ambient light get your favorite Munch and Sip, and get cozy.
Be sure to have a wonderful evening with your partner.

Make Music:-
Life's too short, make memories by creating a song together. So what, if they like jazz and you like rap, switch it up and make something fun together. Making music should not be limited to artists only. believe me, my singing voice sucks a ton but it never stopped me from rapping to my favorite song and recording myself whilst at it. Although you should not forget to feed your date some proper meals afterward or in between your studio sessions, LOL.
Pull up recipes from the internet and make a meal that you both have never made before. There is something special about cooking a meal with your someone.
Be each other's bartender for the date and get tipsy(moderately). There are so many cocktail recipes on the internet, grab one or two and get mixing. Check the article; the 10 minutes cocktail recipes for amazing cocktail recipes you can try in 10 minutes or less.
The Bibliophile Love:-
A good book & some red wine(or white). The whole idea of a date is for you to be able to spend some quality time outside of your normal routine with the one you love. A date shouldn't just revolve around food or physically draining activities. All you may need is to grab a copy of each person's favorite book and read while enjoying the quietness and solitude that encompasses you both.
