Well, we felt we needed even more structure than usual this year – and to be honest, a new dating challenge. When we have SO MANY date ideas to choose from on our little date night generator, it can get a bit hard to decide what to do next.
The ABC Dating trend has been bandied around for awhile now. We’ve heard of couples that have done it themselves, it’s been written about in the media and now?
Denis and I are going to attempt it.
So on top of our usual date night parameters (Being a $30 Budget, taking it in turns to organise the date nights and making sure we date once a week) we are now Alphabet Dating.
It’s pretty straightforward – we start with a date that starts with A (i.e. Going to an Art Gallery) and work our way through B, C and the rest until we get to Z (Which will undoubtedly be a trip a Zoo of some sort).
It starts tonight… stay tuned for the update on where we’re going and the review. I’ll also be listing great date ideas by letter for the next 6 months as we go!
We’re looking forward to it. And hey – if you feel like your love life needs a metaphorical Berocca, why don’t you join us in our ABC Adventures?

Hey Eric, J just went up this week too. If you go to the home page of the blog you’ll find it there. K, L and M all to follow in coming weeks too!
We love this idea, in fact we featured Alphabet Date night ideas last year. It was a fun challenge, and we thought we’d share it with you to add to your excellent ideas. Blessings!
this is so interesting!! love the idea so much! I am waiting for S, have a lot of ideas…
great idea, I found this blog today… very much interesting things!
Thanks @Poruke and @Laren for your comments… we’re about to pick up where we left off a month or so ago when we went to the USA… so we’ll get to S really soon!
@Tom & Debi – thanks for that… it’s definitely a fun way to go about dating!
Thanks Emma for answer! You are really the best! Did you think about making a book one day?
Thanks for the ideas Emma, great blog! My fiancée and I are doing the same thing every two weeks heading into our wedding in November. We’re having with it!
This makes me come up with a creative dating idea. To play scrabble while on picnic and then forming words that would eventually make her fall for you. What do you think?
That sounds like fun! But what about the letter “X” or “Z”? I know you said going to a Zoo, but there has to be something more. I say, take a trip to Zanzabar. Very exotic.

abc dating is fun but i guess this is cheating by not improvising ideas and asking for quick ones
Hi,

Would love to hear from you.
