The good home date does not require as much as you think!

It can feel unmanageable in a busy everyday life to plan a date with both children, work and everything else that is part of the everyday grind. That is why we at Dately have set the framework for what a good home date can offer and how you can make it succeed.

Tick ​​when the home date should take place

You live together, you see each other every day, and therefore you automatically think that you don't have to set a date to go on a date. However, this is where most people go wrong. Get a tick in both of your calendars, so that way you know which evening is set aside for the two of you and each other.

Prep your home date

We at Dately think it's easiest to keep the tick in the calendar if it's all prepared and planned in advance. Keep track of the purchases: what do you need for the date? What do you already have at home? What should be bought and where can you get it for her? Planning probably sounds banal and a little boring, but it's all worth it. When you finally get to the date, you can enjoy it to the fullest with the one you love.

Have an activity ready for your home date

When it comes to the good home date, it should preferably involve an activity. Activity might sound like something really big, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. We at Dately think that an activity can contain different elements.

We have found examples of the various elements here

Touch

We are of course big supporters of an activity with touch. It can be a massage, more kisses and more hugs, cuddling on the sofa, a close dance or just holding hands. A study carried out by DR shows that the feeling of happiness is greater when others touch you than when you do it yourself. The rest of the article can be read here.

Learning

It can be fun to learn something together and to be a team when you have to learn something on the good home date. Whether it's a new dish that you have to learn, a dance that you haven't danced together before, or whether you have to learn how to make cocktails together. So it's just a good way to be together.

Competition

It can be really fun to compete for something together as well as against each other. Maybe it can be even more fun if there is a game. Here we are talking about games, sports or something else.

Have an at-home date where you laugh together

Oh, how important it is to laugh together and have fun together. It can be in connection with all of the above, where you can often have a good laugh together on a home date if you are also pushed a little out of your comfort zone. For example, a dance course at home in the living room and maybe playing a game together.

Laughter has an incredible number of benefits, and in addition to releasing endorphins, it also has these benefits:

• Brings you closer to your partner.

• Reduces high blood pressure.

• Lifts the mood,

• Stimulates the immune system.

• Reduces stress and tension.

• Can help you keep the relationship fresh.

• Increases natural painkillers in the blood.

The good conversation on the home date

What a home date should also entail is of course getting closer to each other after a busy week.

We at Dately know very well that it can be difficult to talk to each other, that is to say to really talk to each other, in everyday life. But it's just so important to get it done anyway!

It is through the deeper conversations that you form and maintain ties with important people in your life. And if you think about it, it is most likely also the closest people in your life with whom you have the best conversations.

What can be difficult is that the deeper conversations usually occur too rarely and randomly. That is why we have developed the conversation cards , which help to have more good, fun and personal conversations with each other. They help for inspiring conversations in a busy everyday life.

The conversation cards open up conversations that you wouldn't otherwise get in the everyday drum room. With our conversation card, you may find yourself back to the curiosity and awareness that was a big part of your relationship at the beginning.

Can the calling cards be used in addition to the home date?

Our desire with the conversation cards is that they can be used several times and in many different settings and especially for all kinds of home dates. Remember that the payoff can be just as good, whether you get through them all or just grab one or two.

Now the rest is up to you with the good home date - but maybe with help from us

Now we have tried to set the framework for the most beautiful home date with the elements we find important. Now we pass the ball to you, and then there is nothing left but to say have a great time! Remember that as long as you have something in common, it will probably be a really nice evening.
