4 A Personal Speakeasy
Take a break from Netflix and Chill, and put that mobile device down or turn the TV off.

5 Play Some Music
Put an ambiance over dinner or drinks with a well-curated playlist, the Millennial version of a cheesy mixtape. There’s no cookie-cutter template to making the right playlist. Put together songs from the night you first met, OSTs of the movies you’ve watched, or songs that remind you of each other. Might be best to lay off the Adele and Sam Smith for now. Play your music via Spotify on nice speakers or a vinyl player.
