Ready-made list
Pick a date night idea
Decision fatigue kills more date nights than empty calendars. A short random pick removes the stalemate without turning the evening into a spreadsheet.
When you both cannot decide, pick one idea—or pick three and vote. Edit the list for budget and energy.

Pick one vs shortlist of three
