Do you remember the first romantic movie you ever watched? Why don’t you take a trip down memory lane by watching the same movie all over again?

It will make you reminisce on your past together. No matter how many times you watch them, old movies never get old.

True, you might already know every line in the movie by now, but nothing beats sitting next to her or him in a dimly lit room, eating popcorn and reciting the movie’s lines together, right?

13. Do a race       

If you both love running, sign up for the next marathon and start training for it together. In fact, these training sessions could also serve as your dates.

12. Discover a Sport

 There are some sports you may both scoff at, but the truth is that they can be really fun when you’re doing it together.

Let yourselves be wild and free. Have a drink or two and party the night away. But please remember to take a cab at the end of the night.
