What Is Alphabet Dating?
Alphabet dating is most commonly used to plan your upcoming date nights. Starting at the top, you can choose an activity that begins with the letter A to do with your partner that you haven't done before or in a long time. Then for your next date night, choose something beginning with the letter B and so on.
You could also put another twist on this style and do as many "A" activities as you want before moving on to the next letter of the alphabet. Another idea would be to plan restaurants around the alphabet dating method and try to go out for dinner first at an eatery that begins with "A," then eat somewhere that begins with "B," etc.
(Remember, this could be a super fun way to plan outings with friends too!)
