All couples are different, but there is one universal truth: date nights are hard to plan sometimes. As well as you and your significant other get along, there are some nights you just can't agree on a blessed thing.

Here are the struggles of planning date night, from an actual couple who knows. (My boyfriend John's statements will be in italics, for reference.)

1. Staying in or going out?

Nicole: I am truly happy wearing sweatpants and parking my butt on the couch with John and some popcorn. That being said, I also do love going out. I actually think half the time we do go out with other people or even if it's just us, it's because I pushed for it. I'm kinda happy doing whatever.

John: It's honestly a toss-up but it truly depends on the circumstance of any situation Nicole and I find ourselves in. I enjoy going out but I've really grown to love doing absolutely nothing too. There are a couple exterior activities that I'm not fond of (such as clubbing), but Nicole is extremely fond of. That is where the beautiful thing known as "compromise" comes into play.

2. Where are we eating?

Nicole: John and I don't really fight much over where we're eating, but that is only because we are such picky ridiculous eaters. I can't eat much of anything because of my PKU and he really only eats hamburgers. For other couples though, I know this fight can be nightmarish.

John: Very rarely is this question an issue for Nicole and I because we know exactly what we want every single time we go out to eat. We both order the same dishes and we have a grand total of two or three spots we love to hit up. Also, what Nicole said above about my burger admiration is the most incredible lie. I eat more than just hamburgers...but always choosing hamburgers is a safe bet.

3. What movie should we watch?

Nicole: This is our true fight. John is a huge movie dude and thinks a lot of my "chick flicks" are not that great. As a result, we watch a lot of movies that he likes and I just kinda doze off to sleep on his couch. Although I have made him watch High School Musical and that has made it all worth it.

John: For starters, these so called "chick flicks" of Nicole's are absolutely not great at all. Her taste in movies aren't stellar to say the least but I try to keep things fair when this question comes into play. The genres of Disney flicks and family features are always on the table. However, there must be a solid list of legitimate "films" ready to play too but Nicole could care less about those most of the time, hence her dozing off. Whenever she becomes engrossed within a movie I expect her to doze off to, it's like a Christmas miracle.

4. My house or yours?

Nicole: For those "Netflix and chill" nights, this is sometimes the hardest question. I feel like the answer is always decided by who is too tired to drive. Whoever that is, they stay where they are and the other one comes to them.

John: I hate this question. We go back and forth on which house to settle on more times than pitchers and catchers on a baseball field do with a baseball. Recently, we decided to utilize something as simple as the flip of a coin. Why didn't we do that earlier?

5. When are we going out?

Nicole: I am constantly late to everything I do, because who I am as a person. I can't be on time for sh*t. John, on the other hand, is always punctual and put together when we need to get going somewhere. Usually if we say 3:00, he knows its actually going to be more like 3:30 - 4:00.

John: This can go either way depending on circumstance, mood, decisiveness, and other variables. Sometimes we plan far ahead with a calendar for big dates and that usually works out. It can get tricky, at least I think so, when it's more spur of the moment though. Deciding a time could a major pain in the wookie. Many times, I'll be under the impression we are commencing our night or day together at an arbitrarily created time but it'll radically alter for no apparent reason. It can be because of makeup, napping, distractions, or anything for that matter. I've learned to go with the flow these days since time is such a fragile thing.
