THE GREAT DATE ROADMAP

GROUND RULES: • If you have kids, put them to bed or take them to a babysitter’s house • Take a break from talking about the usual suspects (money, kids, in-laws) • As much as humanly possible, stay off technology • Relax, reconnect, and occasionally flirt FOR THIS DATE: • You will need to rent or borrow Back to the Future (if you don’t own it) • Purchase your favorite dessert or movie snacks (popcorn, milk duds, etc…) • You will need copies of this Great Date Road Map

MOVIE TRAILER: Take a fun and creative photo together reenacting a scene from one of your favorite movies (bonus points for costumes). Set this photo as the new wallpaper on your cell phone or post it to social media.

Afterwards email your scene-stealing photo along with your names to [email protected]. On November 13th, one photo will be chosen to receive a $100 gift card to Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse.

FEATURE PRESENTATION: First things first, snuggle up on the couch with your favorite desserts or movie snacks and begin watching the movie Back to the Future.

This wouldn’t be a Great Date, if you spent the whole time silently watching a movie. Let the Back To The Future movie quote scavenger hunt begin! As you watch the movie, listen for the quotes listed on the back. When you hear the quote, pause the movie and ask the question(s) underneath each…. THE GREAT DATE ROADMAP CONTINUED
