Technology is useful but also very hindering. Sure, you like to know what the Twitterworld is up to on a daily basis, and you might miss out on what Karen had for lunch on Thursday, but sometimes, you really do need to step away from all things social media. Here’s a little piece of dating advice for this weekend: Turn off your distractions and spend time with your love away from all things digital.

Have a hidden talent that you want your love to appreciate? Set up a night where you can reveal your true self and impress your sweetheart. Your partner probably knows all about what you do for a living and your favorite hobbies, but there’s that other side of you that doesn’t always see the light of day. There is nothing more intimate than allowing your man to discover something new about you.
Finding inspiration might mean going back in time. Maybe you were on the dance team in high school and want to show off some of your old moves. That doesn’t mean you have to start stretching and attempting the splits in your living room. Start looking for those videos of performances you never thought you’d watch again, make some popcorn, and cuddle up on the couch. Your partner will love seeing you in your youth as much as you’ll enjoy laughing at yourself.
Or perhaps you aspired to be a stand-up comedian back in the day. Come up with a routine to make your lover laugh. If your sweetie has a thick skin, get creative and incorporate them into some of your jokes. Whether the routine goes smoothly or you’re stumbling along, by the time you’re finished, you’ll both be on the floor laughing.
After you’ve revealed your hidden talent, sit back and allow your partner to share something you never knew about them. You’ll be surprised how much closer the two of you will feel after this experience! Whether you’re showing off tricks you haven’t pulled out in years or talents you’re still secretly working on, you’ll learn more about each other and create a great memory along the way.
To get your friends in on the fun, host a talent show. Invite a few of your favorite couples over for drinks and appetizers, followed by every couple putting on a mini performance. Take it a step further and present an award for the most entertaining show. Whether your friends impress you or make you cry from laughter, you’ll want to make this night your newest tradition.
