In a perfect world, we would all have the full experience of romance when it comes to dating-just as the movies told us it should be.

We would have the best dates every day and always be ready to drop everything for some quality time with our significant others, because all that matters is "love" right?

It doesn't take us long to realize that these expectations aren't reality. We have busy work and daily schedules, sometimes over the weekend too, which can hinder us from having date nights consistently.

However, with plenty of hope and a bit of creativity, you will find ways to keep the romance alive even when you're both very busy. To juggle all you have on your plate and create some time for your boo, here are a few ways you can spend that precious time:

Double date night

Having a date doesn't always mean that it must be the two of you alone all the time. You might not like the idea of sharing a date with other friends and their partners but, this might be what you need to bring more fun into your relationship.

With a double date, you get to spend time with your friends and have a date at the same time. This is perfect because now you won't have to plan a date with your girlfriends and your partner on different dates when your time is already limited.

Workout dates

If you're a couple that enjoys fitness, you could bond over a workout date. This is something different from the usual dinner dates, which could help you connect even more.

You could plan to meet up at a convenient gym spot after work and have a fun workout session. That way you're spending time together and taking care of your to-do list.

Hotel staycation date

It's not always easy for busy couples to synchronize schedules when it comes to travelling. When you're on leave, your partner might still have to be at work and vice versa.

What you can do is organize a romantic date at a hotel nearby over the weekend. You could even dress up and go for dinner or have a fun cosy night in chilling in the hotel room. Something as simple as being in a different environment can work wonders for your relationship.

Self-care date at home

Self-care routines help us to connect with and heal ourselves. It includes different activities like journaling, spa dates, goal setting and many other self-improvement habits.

It would be a good idea to invite each other to your self-care worlds as a couple for date night. This will help you relax and unwind together, which is also important for your individual well-being.

Balcony date

This is an interesting twist that could spice things up a bit. It's also time friendly because there is no need to book a location or do anything extravagant.

You could create a cute set-up on your balcony and add a romantic touch with some candles. To make it more special prepare a home-cooked meal and enjoy each other's company under the moonlight.
