@iheartnerdyboys: Im sorry to hear about your grandfather and your uncle. That isnt ever easy to deal with but especially not after just getting married.
DH and I have been on a few dates since getting married. Since its been winter we really havent done anything besides go to the movies or go out to dinner but we did go to a nice restaurant to celebrate 6 months of marriage and got dressed up for that. Once spring finally rolls around we will definitely go on more dates. I think its easy to get into a slump you just have to make a concerted effort!
We went on a date about two weeks after we got married--we wanted to go back to the restaurant that was part of the hotel where we stayed on our honeymoon, lol.
We have a date this weekend :) I have no idea where, either! Can't wait!
We typically have a dates. We're alone--our whole family is 2,500 miles away. It's us and our puppies, so we spend a lot of time together doing stuff.
My husband of a few months and I go on a lot of dates.... but I think part of it is that we live in NYC where getting out of the apartment and trying restaurants and plays and attending events is just a way of life. If you feel that you miss dates - I would recommend setting aside a schedule on the Calendar.
For example: every Sunday night, or every first Friday of the month, is dedicated to the 2 of you. It can be a casual night in where you cook together and watch Netflix, or a big night out on the town....but I think there's something about scheduling a "date night" that makes the night special (even if you're just ordering take out).
I'm so sorry to hear of your family losses.
We have gone out on a few date nights since the wedding (6+ months ago), eating out at diff restaurants and seeing some movies. We usually do wine/hot tub nights at home where we get QT with one another. I can't wait until it warms up so that we can go do more stuff outside.
We go on a date every week. At least once a week. We don't have a lot of dollars, but every week we spend a whole day together (the only day we have off together) and go to art galleries, or out to lunch, or window shopping. We also go to the cheap theater for movies, take the dog for a hike. We also go out shooting (as in- I shoot film). We also love staying in though, watching movies.
DH hates bars- so that part of my life is over, but that's okay.
Sorry you had some rough times after your wedding. We try to go on dates fairly frequently. Actually, we had a dinner & movie date the day after our wedding! We spend a lot of time at home together, but sometimes it is so nice to get away from the tv and computers and just talk over dinner. Plan some dates for yourselves!
Yes, we occasionally go on dates. But, when we were dating, my actual favorite dates were watching a movie at home while enjoying wine... so to me, we have several dates per week; but if you consider going out somewhere nice, yeah, we do have them. We go out to concerts, or theater, or dinner...
We have a date night every week. We haven't always been consistent with it, but more recently as life has gotten busy we guard that pretty well. We don't always leave the house (mainly becaue we have a pretty tight budget), but we set aside that evening together (a lot of times we'll watch a movie, read together, play a game, go to a coffee shop, or hang out at a book store)
We didn't go on dates before the wedding, so it's not a big deal to not be doing it now either. I work two jobs (saving for a house) and my husband works full-time and goes to grad school part-time. So "date night" for us is when I get take-out and we clean up the DVR a little.
Yes, date nights are something we both enjoy! We do little dates weekly (typiclaly we go out one weekend night & spend the next alone together going out to eat or a movie.
Each month we make make a point to do something extra special (besides the typical date that we do every week.) I love husband date night!!
We made a New Years Resolution to try one new restaurant a month. We had gotten into a rut of going to the same places over and over. We picked 12 out of a local magazine (most are not fancy, just different) and already have the months chosen to go to each one. So I know I'll at least have 12 date nights this year :)
SOrry about your loss :(
Yeah we go on dates a lot kinda... maybe once a week to dinner or just to the mall...something to get out. If we had more money, we'd go more :) Gotta take advantage before the kids come, and destress, and take time out for each other. There are lots of excuses you know :)
We go on dates about once a week if not more. Sometimes it is spontaneous, but most of the time it requires a reservation way in advance.
we always try to do something every week but things are more laid back than before, before marriage we'd have nice dinner dates at nice restaurants I would always dress up to the nines; now we have fun hanging out at our local pub round the corner, we live in NYC so it's easy to just leave the house and pick a spot, but we are more relaxed and don't have to impress each other as much; the times we do go out on fancy dates is when its our anniversary or Valentines day or a friend's party we'll watch a show and have a nice fancy dinner before or after; but it's a different way of dating now because we're married now, so our goals have changed now we're thinking of the future and saving up for a house and our bills so our dates are much more laid back we don't go clubbing anymore, that's one difference it's more of a singles scene there; we still go on trips he surprised me with a trip to the Stonehenge in england on our anniversary when we first met, I thought that was really romantic, this was when we moved to England for 8months, the romance is there, but I say we are just more relaxed around each other and more secure now that we are married and it reflects in our dates; other things we do is watch the matinee movie its cheaper, we'll spend the afternoon strolling the park, and checking out various diners for brunch after church, brunch is a big deal in NYC but a lot cheaper than most meals
I think its nice to have hubby and me time it doesnt always have to be fancy, but its a great way of having couple bonding time together and enjoy being with each other in public
We've gone on quite a few dates sine the wedding. As a matter of fact ,I am taking him to the movies tonight.
Yes: Bowling, movies, mini-golf and arcade, dinner or dessert out..we want to go to a sciency museum, go paint pottery, and to the zoo. Our best date was the arcade:)
Plus we spend quality time together: snuggling on couch and watching tv/moves together, go play basketball, walk at the park, etc.
We've had two dates, one for my birthday and one for our two year anniversary of our first date, which was right after the wedding.
We live in a tiny college town, though, and there's nowhere to go, really, so I'm hoping this changes in a few weeks when we move back to a city.
Until then, I'm really jealous of you bees that get to go on dates!
Yes! Hubby & I lived together for 9 months before getting married. We have always gone on "dates." We go on dinner dates on the weekends. We go golfing about every other weekend on sunday. (Our passion!) We go to the movies every so often, usually only if its a movie we have been waiting to see, otherwise we wait till its on PPV or buy the dvd. We do other things IDK if people would consider a date. Like hiking, going to a big public nature park and cook out/hiking. We do other things like take our dog to the park and have a picnic, go to the park and play basketball, we go to the Y about every morning and work out together. Basically on the weekends we do something. Weather it be a dinner date or staying home and cuddling up on the couch watching a movie, to visiting my parents or my in laws! Its whatever the couple wants, not everyone goes on dates all the time or every weekend. Whatever makes you two happy, is what you should do. :-) If you want to go on more dates, ask him/tell him. I'm sure he wants to, if you want to. :-)
We do occasionally. We've been to a few plays, movies, etc. Right now it's pretty hard for us b/c we're moving into a new house and I'm very pregnant, but we're still going to go on a dinner cruise next weekend and we're staying at a hotel on the beach for the night at the end of the month. I guess we should do as much as we can before the baby comes!
We do mini dates all the time, around once or twice a week. This can be either hitting up a happy hour, or picking up sushi from the grocery store nearby and eating on the patio. We don't do a lot of fancy things, and rarely go out to dinner, but we also do a lot of things on weekends like visiting local museums, or even just walking around for a few hours.
We go on dates sometimes, but we mostly try to do something together on a daily basis, especially since we're trying to be smart about our money these days. So I usually make dinner every night and we go for walks in the evening and catch up about our day. We are lucky to have a pool and hot tub in our apartment complex, so now that its warm, we can lay out and soak too. (That's what we did today and it was so fun!)
I think we got out to eat once every other week. Sometimes its just the place across the street, or sometimes its a nice steakhouse. Since I'm so stressed out studying for the Bar exam these days, DH usually takes me on a daytrip somewhere about once a month. We went to a nearby lake last month, and he's taking me to wine country next weekend to do some champagne tasting!
Yea, we go on dates. We got back from our honeymoon a week ago, and went on a date last night. :)
we go on a dates a lot more now since we moved to a bigger city. We go to the theater, dinner, and the movies. however, we still dont go out very often. we are homebodies. I usually have to drag DH out of the house :)

Hi! Happy wed over her for almost 4 months (yay!) and DONE WITH THANK YOU CARDS, finally.
so many things happend since the wedding, the biggest being my grandfather dying, the subsequent trip to asia and then my uncle dying. I think that these things have solidified us as our own family unit..
we're settling into domestic life, but part of me misses dates, and being wooed!
have you guys been on dates since you've gotten married?
