What music works for a home date night?

Jazz trios, acoustic covers, bossa nova, or lo-fi R&B at 25-35% volume. The music should fill silence, not dominate conversation. Create a 3-hour playlist so you never have to touch your phone. Spotify's 'Date Night' playlists are a solid starting point.

How do I make a home date feel special?

Change the lighting. Set the table with real plates. Play music. Put phones away. Cook together or order from a restaurant you have been wanting to try. The key is differentiation—make tonight obviously different from every other night at home.
