Alphabet Working

Have your date nights started to feel bland? Does the plan always seem to be “Netflix and Chill” or something even less exciting? It might be time to try “Alphabet Working.” A fun way to spice things up without the pressure of finding a new activity every night, alphabet dating is a playful and surprisingly romantic trend to take couples out of their dating rut. 

As simple as it sounds, alphabet dating is all about planning your date letter-by-letter and moving alphabetically through new ways to spend time together. It’s simple and creative and adds a lighthearted challenge to planning rather than making it a chore. 

How Does Alphabet Working Work?

Let’s start at the very beginning: the letter A. What are some ideas for a date based on A? What about apple picking, art classes, or an arcade night?

Moving onto B: How about a bike ride, a local brewery tour, or even just breakfast-for-dinner?

E could be an early-morning hike. Write some love letters for L. O might take you to an outdoor film festival. Grab a cozy quilt for a quiet picnic for Q. And load your favourite vintage vinyl on the turntable for V. 

The possibilities are endless—and half the fun is figuring them out as you go.

The best part about jumping into alphabet dating is that it offers opportunities for variety in the structure of your dates but still invites plenty of your own personal interests and flair. It’s completely up to you whether you keep things light and uncomplicated, go big and blow the budget, stay home with an indoor activity, or take turns making the date a surprise. Whatever fits your relationship, goes. 

Why Couples Love Alphabet Working

If we’re being honest, there comes a time in most relationships where we might benefit from a little inspiration to think outside the box when it comes to planning dates. Alphabet dating helps to keep things fresh and fun by providing a nudge to get yourself into doing things that wouldn’t normally be on your radar. 

Not to mention, having something you can both look forward to also adds an element of fun. 

Alphabet dating:

• Builds shared memories
• Helps to keep your relationship exciting and spontaneous
• It eliminates the frustrating “what do you want to do?” “I don’t know. What do you want to do?” back and forth debates
• It invites collaboration and teamwork into your relationship

Perhaps the best part of alphabet dating is that it can all happen on your timeline. There’s no rush to make plans. You can start introducing one letter-based date per week, per month, or just whenever you get the chance. You make the rules and you set the frequency.
