1. A cosy coffee date
Winter is the perfect time for a coffee date. The combo of hot, sweet and spicy drinks, fireplaces and soft, squishy couches makes it a super cosy get together. Even if you’re not into coffee, there’s still hot tea or chai or cider, or just steamed milk. Check out
Brother Hubbard for their delish coffee and brownie combo. We promise it won’t disappoint.
2. Go to a pottery class
Get yourself and your man dirty at this deadly evening pottery class. One word, one movie: Ghost.
3. Pretend you’re snowed in
Invite your fella over for a low key antidote to an otherwise crazy month. Curl up on the couch and take out a game. Try Loaded Questions, a hot Q&A that asks things like “If you were invisible, where would you go?” Or play Scrabble, but make it naughty words only. Much better than Netflix and chill, right?
4. Try an ‘out there’ restaurant
Chilly temps can make it tempting to hit up the same joint and order the comfort food dish you always get. But shake things up by eating out at a trendy museum café or going to a themed restaurant. Step back in time at this medieval banquet and watch the history of Barberstown Castle come alive.
5. Have a sexy bath for two
Switch up your routine and get warm by luxuriating in the tub with your guy. Skip the candles and oils – a basic bubble bath is more guy-friendly. To make the dip a deux even steamier, tease him by letting the bubbles cover some of your body while revealing other parts. Ooh-er.
6. Have the LOLs
An indoor comedy club is a fun way to get away from the cold and bond over cheap laughs. At these hangouts, comedians are given even more ridiculous scenarios to act out on the spot. Tickets are cheap, so grab your man and go! We<3 The International Comedy club, they have a jam packed schedule for the winter months.
7. Go for a skate
Bundle up in warm winter gear, and head to an ice-skating rink together. You and your man will have great craic on the ice at Dundrum on Ice. You’ll be so busy bonding and listening to cheesy music that no one will notice if you’re not exactly Johnny Weir.
