This is the perfect solution for busy couples and my go-to date. It’s so relaxing to sit with your significant other in the middle of a day full of classes. You can both put the books and laptops away so you can catch up, talk about what you’ve been doing and just enjoy spending time with each other. And maybe you can use this time to plan your next date.
