Dating doesn't have to suck, it just needs imagination. 1001 Dating Ideas is the ultimate antidote to modern dating fatigue. Equal parts bucket list, therapy, and comedy special, this book flips the script on love by reminding readers how to have fun again. Whether you're single, coupled, or somewhere in the "it's complicated" category, you'll find creative, laugh-out-loud ways to reconnect with curiosity, joy, and maybe even another human. Inside, you'll discover hundreds of clever ideas: adventurous date challenges, cozy stay-at-home nights, food and travel experiments, sexy and flirty twists, pop-culture-inspired games, and deep-connection prompts that actually spark conversation instead of ghosting it. Written in Sarah Melland's signature brutally funny voice. Part best-friend banter, part "don't-do-what-I-did" wisdom, 1001 Dating Ideas transforms the chaos of modern love into inspiration, laughter, and maybe a few text-worthy stories. Whether you're planning a first date, reviving a long-term relationship, or simply want to rediscover what makes you feel alive, this book delivers endless inspiration and unapologetic honesty.
Perfect for singles, couples, or anyone who's ever said "dating apps are trash" and still hoped for a spark anyway.
What's Included: (carefully crafted by the woman, the train wreck, the mythical dating legend, Your Dating UnExpert)
- Over 100 different foreign country themed night dates (not included in the 1001, because I'm chaotic not sleezy)
- Over 100 different classes to take together (again, not included in the 1001, I went feral making this list.)
- Science experiments and skills to learn together
- 25 different date night triathlons to try (again, don't worry these are examples and not included in the 1001, but I will stop saying that now as you get my drift and it's been the power of three.)
- Every Netflix game known to mankind you can play, yes it is no longer chill.
- Virtual tours for when you want to travel but your bank account says "lol no"
- Connection question prompts, "What if" conversation starters, "Tell me when" prompts, documentary-style interview questions, "Stay or Go" connection questions, sultry dares
Plus, so much freaking more, it's absurd, and way too long to list. I can tell you are already getting board (see what I did there? Like board games, and oh yeah, I listed all those too) with the awesomeness, so just buy the book for endless date night possibilities, and you're welcome!
Why did I give you all of this? Because I am a bad a$$, and I am a Virgo, which means I am a perfectionist, love lists and don't want to leave anything out.
