Play board games

You can play a few board 🎲 games and order food if you don’t feel like going out or cooking food at home. Pick your favorite kind of game; let it be mystery games, snakes and ladders, or even Scrabble! Enjoy your game night and get recharged for the whole week!

Sign up for a cooking class

A cooking class is always fun since you will learn how to cook and maybe even cook it for your partner one day. Cooking is not everyone’s cup of tea, and not everyone’s a chef 👩‍🍳 So sign up for a cooking class and enjoy your Monday night!

If you have nothing to do or don’t feel like doing anything, you can play. Would you rather? Frame your questions or find a few online and start off your game! Make sure you have a glass of wine 🍷 ready, so you don’t get bored.

Street food

It is no bad thing if you want to have a cheat meal! Junk is fine, but eating it every day is not healthy! So make sure you keep Monday nights for street food 🍕! Roam around the city for a while and find the best street store where you want to enjoy a delicious dish!

Ice cream

You can always go out for ice cream 🍨. After dinner, an ice cream is a must, isn’t it? So, head out for an ice cream. You can take a walk since you get some more time to spend with each other. Buy some ice cream on the way, and enjoy your Monday date night!

Short picnic

A trip down the memory lane

You never know how far the both of you have come if you don’t look back. So take a seat and talk about all the fun things and also the hard times. Only then will you know how precious 🥰 your relationship is.
