A date night can be lovely and still get swallowed by the same practical conversation you have at home. A few good prompts create a clean break from errands, schedules, and what needs fixing.
Start playful, follow whatever feels alive, and do not make reaching the deepest question the measure of a successful night. Feeling relaxed and interested in each other is enough.
