Recreate Your First Date
What you'll do
Go back to where it started — same place, same order — or reimagine it if it's gone.
- Choose a time with no hard stop afterward.
- Set the mood: lighting, music, phones away.
- Ask one question you've never asked each other.
- Linger — don't rush to the next thing.
