Quiet Retro Movie Night
This date idea is perfect for those who prefer quiet and comfortable moments together, without the pressure of constant conversation. You and your partner will spend an evening diving into the classics of Russian cinema. Make your living room into a cosy cinema and experience a new kind of intimacy…
- Get comfy on the couch with your partner and flip through the classics of Russian cinema. Whether it’s an old favorite or a film neither of you have seen before, the experience will be enjoyable in a nostalgic way.
- Between the films, discuss the scenes, characters, or themes that struck you. This will not put pressure on you to fill the silence and it will deepen your understanding of each other. You might find shared passions or learn something new about your partner’s tastes.
- As the final credits roll, share your thoughts on the film. Take time to enjoy the silence and the simple pleasure of companionship. This date is more about closing the gap between two hearts, instead of filling the silence with words.
