Have You Heard? Car Dates Are A Thing, and They’re Seriously Underrated!

Car dates. Yep, they’re a real thing! At least, they are for me and my partner. If you want to dive into the world of delightful car dates, here’s your simple guide:

When you sense that bedtime is about to spiral into chaos, send a quick text to your babysitter to check who’s available. “Hey, Sarah, can you come over tonight?” If she responds with a “Yes!” then you’re in luck. She arrives just in time for the kids to start their meltdown, which, let’s be honest, is a common side effect of car dates. You and your partner make a mad dash to the car, carefully detaching any little ones clinging to your legs.

Can you smell that? That’s the scent of sweet, sweet freedom! Freedom from tiny fingers reaching for you, freedom from bedtime battles, and freedom from the witching hour madness. Oh, how glorious is that blissful silence!

Now, the big question: Where to go? You aren’t hungry since you scavenged the kids’ dinner earlier (and let’s be real, it wasn’t even that good). No errands to run, and you’ve already stocked up on fruit from your Costco trip. A fancy dinner downtown? Nah, you’re not in the mood to look presentable or hunt for parking.

So what’s left? Just chilling in the car for a date!

We’ve been doing this a lot lately, and I’ve come to cherish it. Sometimes we pick up coffee and just sit in the car. Other times, we’ve sat in a grocery store parking lot, completing our Christmas shopping while catching up and scrolling through our phones in the dark.

Car dates are a fantastic way to connect without interruptions. There are no distractions—just you, your partner, and some paper cups of coffee. It’s pretty amazing.

With kids, work, and life’s whirlwind, it often feels like my partner and I are on different schedules. Car dates offer us the chance to reconnect, share a laugh, plan for the future, and occasionally lament when parenting will get easier. We dream about extravagant trips to Napa, talk, and just exist together without the chaos of daily life. It’s a refreshing reminder of our pre-kid selves and helps bring our relationship back to the forefront, even if just for a couple of hours.

So, the next time you spot us parked in a grocery store lot, feel free to wave. No, we’re not getting out of the car. We’re fully immersed in our car date!
