16 Ideas for Stay-at-Home Dates

March 14, 2020 by Bethanie Ryan

  1. Watch a movie with a new snack. Pick up some weird flavor of popcorn or some other new snack and pop in a movie.
  2. Candlelight dinner for two under your own roof. Buy something special at the grocery store and put the kids to bed early. Cook it together for some extra fun.
  3. Have a game night! Break out your favorite board game or just a deck of cards and look up the instructions for a new game online.
  4. Have your own spa night. Get whatever comfy beauty product you want and pamper yourselves.
  5. Go camping in your own backyard. Use, purchase, or borrow as many or as few camping supplies as you want, and just spend the night looking at the stars.
  6. Work out together. Exercise does not have to be expensive.
  7. Take an online class together.
  8. Teach each other something. I’m sure there is something you don’t know that your partner does or vice versa. Share the knowledge.
  9. Start your own book club. Pick out a book together and discuss it as you go.
  10. Make a scavenger hunt. One of you plan out a scavenger hunt for the other that ends in something sweet, like a love letter.
  11. Get lost on the internet. Search random words on Google or look at videos on YouTube. Share what you notice and what you think.
  12. Paint a picture. Get some paper or canvas and paint and work together to make a picture or two.
  13. Discuss the future. Write out your own bucket lists and see what conversations get sparked.
  14. Celebrate the year you met. Or the year you were born. Or just about any year. Just pick out a movie or music from that year and take a trip down memory lane.
  15. Take online quizzes and discuss your results.
  16. Watch the sunrise or the sunset. It sounds cheesy, but you can’t get any more romantic than that.

A woman out of work recently sent us the following A woman out of work recently sent us the following email. We wanted to share her thoughts with you:
The most common feelings I experience as an unemployed job seeker: 
1. Rejection/Sorrow. Something is wrong with me… because it cannot be that I don't have more than the required training or education or experience... so it must be me.
2. Anxiety from inadequacy of effort. Something would come along if I just tried harder (more than daily searches, weekly job clubs, outreaches on LinkedIn, etc.).
3. Aloneness. Other people with fewer skills, less education and experience… are getting jobs. They won't understand how alone I am in this. Other people must have a lot of resources to not have to work for this long, and I am barely making it and can't afford things now. I am alone in this.
4. Hopelessness. Scores of applications and letters to employers have gone unanswered for weeks and now months. What's the use?
5. Blaming myself and/or self-doubt. Why didn't I see the writing on the wall and find something while I still had a job? I guess I really am as stupid as these employers think I am.
6. Confusion. I am now out of my routine, so things don't fall into place like they once did. Am I getting dementia? Is this normal?
7. Anger. If my employer thought I was so great to give me a very good review several years in a row, why haven't they told me of other available jobs after this one ended? Shame on them!
8. Embarrassment. People may think I lost my job because I was a marginal or lazy employee. They don't know how hard I worked, and that the termination was due to issues not of my doing. They may see me as someone who deserved this.
9. Fear. What if I can't find a job in time before we lose our place to live?
10. Happiness. It can be a good thing to start over sometimes.
