Date Night is not taking your wife to the gun range and spending 3 hrs there when you only went to your gun league there tonight and you haven't taken said wife to a movie in about 3 yrs. Just putting it out there for the Universe to kick around or something. Not to mention our pup (14 wks) needs surgery tomorrow and I am not leaving her home alone tomorrow night for ANYTHING! If he gets any more 'romantic' I think my eyes will get stuck in the back of my head.

:O why not - Date night is something the 2 off you are doing with out children, just the 2 off you, regardless of what it is.

Men are stupid... he thought it was a brilliant idea, change the rules... date night once a week, one week he chooses and the following week you choose..... you do what he wants to do, and then he must do what you planned...
maybe he has no clue what you think a date night should be...

see for me a date night would've been coming home from work, to a clean house and a cooked dinner, then SO simply spending quality time with... even if we watched something I like or simply sat and talked to each other... and not about the snow flake... about us..

Ahh.. I like the switch off. Next week he can attend a knitting symposium with you. Or perhaps a lifetime network movie marathon? Or how about a spa evening.. mani pedis!!!

Look, in and of itself, a trip to the gun range "could" be a date night for some.. like if you are Miranda Lambert or Annie Oakley. In fact, I would be ok with it because my DH and I like to shoot targets and if you throw in a nice dinner after then I'm all good.

But, allowing his wife to "tag along" while he continues to enjoy HIS hobby... no.. not a date night.

LOL Sounds like a date I would take DH on if I wanted him to fall in love all over again. This is how you deal with your SO being clueless. Take a look around, make a lap meeting his gun league friends- smiling and being charming and then kiss your SO and tell him you are heading out and you need the keys. Stay happy and upbeat. When he stammers and wants to know how he will get home, just play stupid and tell him how amazing uber is. I bet he will be running after you, if not, a movie is something you can easily do solo (if that is what you want to do).
