Date Idea: The Last Cone of Summer
Go get ice cream this week.
Not a pint from the grocery store. The kind where you park, walk up, and stand in line.
While you're waiting, text each other your guess for what the other one's about to order. Don't open it. That text is your sealed bet.
Order, then read them out loud. Whoever guessed wrong pays.
It's a silly bet, but it mixes things up.
Then part two: don't eat them in the car.
Find a bench outside and sit there till the cones are gone. Sitting still is what makes it a date instead of an errand.
There's maybe three weeks of warm summer nights left, so don't wait too long.
Bonus: if the talking runs out, make up the life story of the next person who walks by.
The Rigged Poll
Send this to your significant other sometime tomorrow:
What's your favorite thing about me?
A) my face
B) my personality
C) my butt
D) that I send you polls like this
It's a fishing expedition and you'll both know it, which is what makes it fun.
Swap in your own options if you've got better ones. Inside jokes work well here, and so does making option D something only the two of you would understand.
You're not after a real answer. You're putting something in their day that isn't about dinner or the calendar, and it's the kind of text that can turn into a longer back and forth.
Level it up: whatever they pick, ask them why.
