Why Netflix and Chill Is Actually A Pretty Cool Date Idea

Alright so the phrase "Netflix and Chill" is internet slang for that text some douchebag sends you at 1 in the morning using Netflix (a prime source of entertainment) as a way to get in your pants.

I am not for that at all, unless you're into that and don't mind going over to some guy's house expecting to actually watch Friday Night Lights only to get pounced on five minutes later.

If you're like me, you wish that "Netflix and Chill" actually meant "Netflix and Chill."

If we were to ignore all the sub-text behind "Netflix and Chill," and actually did Netflix and Chill without jumping on top of the other person, we would find it is a pretty cool way to get to know a member of the opposite sex!

Think about it:

1) It is an inexpensive date.


Most of us are in college. We spend all our money on alcohol and food. Chances are you have probably stolen your mom's or your ex-boyfriend's Netflix password and so this is essentially a low-maintenance, no-stress, and no-cost date night. Yas. Everyone wins.

2) I am going to like you so much more if you watch my shows with me.

I am 3000% more likely to want to see you again if we can fan-girl over Tim Riggins together, or even if you listen to me cry over the fact that Grey's Anatomy has killed off literally every single likeable character.

3) What a person watches on Netflix speaks volumes about who they are.

Your Netflix game will be strong af by combining your interests with someone else's. Different tastes spark a thing called CONVERSATION, something a lot of us lack with the opposite sex.

4) Food.

Quite possible the most important aspect. I don't know about you, but I always watch Netflix with snacks. You know an apple, some chips, Chipotle, a whole pizza...just something light like that. Food is the best part of my day and having someone there to eat and watch Netflix with me (other than my roommate) would be a nice change.


This article might make me look like some kind of weird fascist who doesn't want boys to take girls out on dates anymore, but I'm not, I'm just someone who thinks a Netflix movie night isn't a negative thing.

Unless he texts you at 2 am. Then it isn't a date, it's a booty call and you should stay your booty in your own bed.

-peace, love, netflix, & chill

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
