Just a short list of ways that dates happen in our house.

1. Say it! You can start with “Honey, I’d really like to go out on a date with you to… on…”
2. Write them a love note. “Being married to you makes me feel like the luckiest guy/gal in the world. You are handsome, talented and loving. Would you join me for a date on Monday evening?”
3. Make it a surprise! (Not advised if your spouse hates surprises.) “I want to take you out on a date, but it’s a surprise.” You may also want to make clothing suggestions based on climate, occasion, etc.
4. Don’t tell them it’s a date. “Would you like join me for a walk in the park, this weekend?”
5. Suggest that you meet somewhere. “Tonight after work, instead of going straight home, let’s meet up for a date…”
6. Make it about them. “Babycakes, I really want to spend some time with you this evening. Where would you like to go on a date?”
7. Choose something that you have in common. “Babe, let’s face it. I like food, you like food…. We should go out to eat together.”
8. Relive an old place that you shared dates in the past (awesome memories only!). “Sugarplum, do you remember that little theater in Townville we used to go to?…”
9. Beg them. Okay, it’s not the best way, but if you stress the importance, it could help. “Sweetie, it would really mean a lot to me if we could go on a date…” and a few please please please’s wouldn’t hurt.
10. Write a blog post about ways to get a spouse to ask you on a date, then ask them to proofread. :-D
