2: IS IT DINNER AND A MOVIE AGAIN?

TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
You already know about date nights. That’s the problem. But how to make them novel and build anticipation? “Unless you push your boundaries, you may as well watch TV,” says WH sex expert Jacqueline Hellyer. “Buy tickets to something that requires planning and dressing up. If you stick to the status quo, at least dare each other to go knickerless to the movie.”

Too hard to break out of your dating holding pattern? Each of you write a list of things you’ve always wanted to try – indoor rock climbing, life drawing classes, authentic Vietnamese in the suburbs – and exchange. You might be surprised and it’ll “keep up your lust for life, as well as each other, plus give you memories for when you’re old,” says Dr Coventry. Because you sure won’t be reminiscing about the night you watched that Michael Moore doco.
