If you need some help with date night ideas, there’s an interesting trend that gives some structured and fun to choosing your next date night! It’s called alphabet dating and all it is, is you go through the alphabet choosing your next date, starting with A and working your way through Z, in order, over the 26 weeks or however long you want based on the frequency of your date nights.
