Choosing a restaurant as a couple can feel like a high-stakes game of culinary compromise. One wants tacos, the other’s craving sushi—and somehow, it always ends in pizza. The real challenge isn’t finding a place to eat; it’s surviving the decision process with your appetite and relationship intact.
On our show recently, we talked about this roadblock that so many couples face. We asked Dove listeners to help us out with ideas—and they came through! Maybe these suggestions will help you too.
One great idea is “Dating the Alphabet.” It’s a fun challenge where you dine out A to Z. Find a place you haven’t tried before—start with A, then B, and work your way to Z. It turns dinner into a collaborative and exciting adventure!
Another fantastic tip: write the names of different restaurants on slips of paper, toss them in a bowl, and randomly draw one. Easy, fun, and spontaneous.
And if you’re into apps and a little bit of risk, try “Restaurant Roulette.” There are some great apps with wheels you can spin to decide where to go.
All of the above sound SUPER fun… Let’s eat!
