Step-By-Step Date Guide:

1. Make your drinks!

Pomegranate Margaritas

Belly inspired our drink this week! We went with a blended pomegranate margarita. You can make this one with N/A tequila or regular tequila. Blending is optional, but regardless of how you make it I'm sure you'll love it! Grab the full recipe here.

2. Start on dinner and/or snacks.

For this at home date, we made a fried pickle dip! It's higher in protein, & super simple to make ahead of time if you're short on time this week. Grab the recipe here.

3. Start your activity: candy betting

How-to: Eat a sour patch every time you root for Conrad and eat a swedish fish every time you root for Jeremiah. It's a fun way to discuss opinions during the show.

4. Watch The Summer I Turned Pretty

You can watch The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video which you get for free with an Amazon Prime membership. You can sign up for a membership here.

6. Go through the connection questions.

Putting phones away is super important during this portion of the date. All of this week's connection questions are listed below.

Conversation Starters:

1. How do you think we’ve both changed since we first met—and what’s stayed the same?

2. What version of yourself do you think I fell in love with?

3. What would you tell your younger self about love, now that we’re here together?

4. What do you miss about who we were at the beginning—and what are you proud of now?

5. What’s a summer memory from your childhood that still lives vividly in your mind?

6. How did your first experience of love (or heartbreak) shape the way you love me now?

7. How do you know when you’re ready to let something go in your life—even if it once meant a lot to you?

8. What does “home” mean to you right now—and has that changed over the years?

9. Which characters speak to you most from this season of the show? Why?

10. When do you feel like you belong—in a group, in a space, in the world?
