TIME FOR EACH OTHER
Unhurried romantic dates
Romance often lies in attention and time, rather than a grand gesture.
Make the most of it.
Make room to choose something together, enjoy a quiet moment or revisit a memory. A personal detail makes a simple date more special than an expensive itinerary.
- Choose something you both feel comfortable with, even if it's very simple.
- Put your phones away during the time you've set aside.
- Leave room for an unexpected detour or a longer conversation.
