How to plan the perfect double date
A good double date keeps all four people involved rather than splitting into two separate conversations. Choose activities with built-in structure — a game night in teams, bowling, an escape room, a pub quiz — so there's always something shared to focus on. Food is a great equaliser too: a potluck or each couple cooking a course keeps everyone busy and chatting. Keep the first double date fairly short and low-stakes, especially if the two couples don't know each other well yet.
