Practice Acts of Kindness: 15 Tips to Make Your Dates Great

Stop spending your time trying to conjure-up ways to make your next date special. You can practice acts of kindness without all of the brainwork and less legwork than you might imagine! We've put together a simple list of acts of kindness that will not only brighten your date's day, but put you in the position of being able to easily give. Giving is fun, and it's worth every smile that comes across our partner's face!

1. Bring them coffee out of the blue.
2. Leave a single flower on their windshield overnight.
3. Take out the trash and replace the bag (add the recycling for extra oomf!).
4. Wash the bed linens (even if you're horrible at laundry). Really horrible at laundry? Drop them off at a same-day fluff-and-fold service at a local laundromat.
5. Take their car to be washed and leave them the keys to yours for the day.
6. Open the car door, the door at the restaurant or carry them across a water puddle.
7. The next time you go over to their house, bring a treat for their pet(s).
8. If your partner has kids, plan a low-maintenance, surprise family date day at a local amusement park or museum.
9. Clean out the fridge - no one needs food with a personality!
10. Book your partner a massage. Pick them up, drop them off and enjoy their smile after their session.
11. Send them a mid-day text that says nothing more than, "Thinking of you. Love you. I don't say it enough."
12. The next time you argue, be the first to say, "I'm sorry."
13. Watch a click flick or a suspense movie - even if it's not your cup of tea.
14. If your partner is always parking on city streets with meters, place a roll of quarters in their car with a sticky note with a smiley face on it.
15. Use the words, "Thank you" more and the word "but..." less!
