They say you can tell who a person is by checking out the books they have laying around the house. As a level one investigator, I say you can tell more about a person by rummaging through their Netflix cue! LOL. Oh, such a delicate balance of crucial information wrapped in their guilty pleasures. Especially, when you’re back in the dating game.

You’ve probably “looked around” one of those dating apps and played text tag with Mr. Potential while walking your dog, hangin’ with friends or prefer a quiet night alone, then finally, you agree to a date! (exhales) After all of that emotional work and anticipation, remember to have fun! 

Here’s how.

Invite your date over earlier than planned and cook one of these easy snacks together before choosing a show to watch. Cooking together will break the ice and serve as a revealing chemistry check. It will also let you know what type of show or film to put on. The pressure of choosing the perfect show can feel overwhelming and awkward. Is a sappy rom-com appropriate or should you pull an old-school trick to snuggle up by playing a horror film? All I can suggest is “know your audience.” Keep it fun, keep it light and simply enjoy a date night!”

Here are 4 fun snacks to break the ice.
