Being in a relationship is great and all, until you want to go out on a date and your partner asks you "Where do you want to go today?" and you have no idea. So you and your partner end up suggesting a few places but the other person keeps rejecting the ideas until you end up deciding to just go eat somewhere. But now, you have to decide on where to eat and that's another hour-long decision.
So you end up going for dinner this date, and the next date is probably lunch or dinner again. Besides having a meal, most couples have trouble finding unique or different activities to do on their dates. And that's how you end up gaining relationship weight.
So the next time you're deciding on a date, here are some artsy date ideas that you can try out instead of just eating out:
