Dates For Couples Who Are Different

What do I do if we don't like the same things? Where do we go?

They say that opposites attract, and for some that is entirely true. Your significant other may be entirely in opposition to the cheesy dates you pine over. On the other hand, you may be an outdoorsy type while your love is the "never step foot in the sun" type. So what do you do together? What memories can you make? Well, to answer that question I must preface this by saying that you need to branch out and experience increments of what your partner loves. But, here are some things you can do together that all couples enjoy.

Your typical ice cream date

A cheap little date where you can laugh over sugary deliciousness! A date like this is a fantastic opening for quality conversation and get-to-know-you questions. Get goofy and have an ice cream fight. Get triple scoop and impress your date with your balancing talent.


Art museum

A nice stroll through magnificent creations that are visually pleasing to the eye is something that everyone can enjoy. Talk about your favorites, maybe take a picnic in the park afterwards.


Movie marathon

Everyone has a favorite movie series or type of movies. Pull an all-nighter and finish everyone single one! Bring out the snacks and the energy drinks for this one. Whether it be Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribean, Indiana Jones, or chick flicks, everyone enjoys sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and eyes glued to the screen.

Bake together

Experiment, try a new recipe, get messy, have a flour fight, mess up and start again. There's no need for perfection, just go with the flow and enjoy the smell of the creation you and your partner made.


Try new restaurants

Branch out and enjoy a new atmosphere. Find the good and the bad and enjoy reminiscing over the good and ranting about the bad.


Game Night

Get out your card deck and Scrabble. Get competitive but don't forget to stay silly! This is a good one for a night full of laughs. Make snack and play your favorite gaming music to get lively.


Picnic

Find a picnic and pack your favorite snacky food. You'll need a blanket you don't mind getting dirty and a sunny day. A nice shady tree with a beautiful view is the BEST way to enjoy a snacky lunch.


There are always new and exciting things to do, but there are also familiar places and activities. Always be adventurous. Never be afraid to branch out and always have a good time.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
