Tasting Date
This can be one of the most fun indoor date ideas! Decide if this will be an alcohol tasting a food tasting or both. This could be a whiskey, wine or craft beer tasting, whatever that you both will like. You could buy a few different types and rate them on flavor aroma etc.
We created a download so that you can rate type, aroma, taste, finish & the final score. If you want to add food to the tasting, maybe try different types of cheeses, soups, chocolates or anything that you would enjoy. You can also create index cards with space for the type, country, flavor, aroma and a rating score.
An example of something that we have done is have a chocolate tasting where we ordered 10 different flavors of filled chocolate truffles. We sliced the truffles and labelled a plate with each type. Each of us tasted a portion of the truffle and tried to guess the flavor. Then we rated them from 1-10 and compared what we liked the most.

You may just find yourself and your partner dancing and singing. Think back to a favorite concert that you both have enjoyed together and create a night of nostalgia.
One song leads to another and another and so on….
You can find some of your favorite sexy songs and dance a little closer. Pair this with your favorite take-out and you may just be surprised how your evening ends up!

Coffee, Croissants & Massage
This is a favorite day date at home idea! A morning date …this is coffee and croissants in bed or not. Start your day with a latte and freshly baked donuts or croissants. Follow with a relaxing massage that you give to each other.
You should do this in whatever order that you choose. If you would rather have the massage first, do that. If you would rather have the massage in the evening, then do that and have the pastries when you wake up.
This is a romantic way to start the day, and if possible you may be able to jump into the shower together after your massage. You know, because you have to wash off the massage oil….😁

International Cooking Class
For this at home date night, you may want to talk to your grandmother or mother for some family favorites. It would be fun to share something that is special for you with your partner.
If you would rather try something new, then search for some ethnic recipes that you both will like. It is fun to cook together and can be very romantic.
Try to challenge yourself with what you choose. The only thing that you will need is the recipe, the ingredients and a read through of the recipe to make sure you have all the equipment needed before you start.
Light the candles and give it a try. You don’t need to be chefs to create a very memorable evening together.
