🫶 Date Ideas for August 23-25

👉 Taste 117 👈

Take a tour of a chocolate factory, and sample delicious chocolates from around the world. (You’ll never want to eat a Hershey bar again.)

You’ll also sample some unique and surprisingly tasty olive oils and vinegars. And don’t forget to order a drinking chocolate while you’re there. (We get one every year for our anniversary.)

Conversation Starters 🗣️

We like to give you something interesting to talk about on your date night. Here are some questions you can ask on your date that might lead to some meaningful conversation:

• What’s your favorite way to be creative?

• What would you do if you won $100,000?

• If you could choose any other career or vocation other than what you do now, what would you choose and why?

_{These questions come from the Gottman Card Decks app. Download it free here.}
