So lately I've been trying to imagine myself as a married woman, like put myself in the situation and imagine every aspect of that life, kind of trying to prepare myself for it.
But I've got this little issue with marriage life o couldn't figure out : they say married couples should keep going out on dates and stuff even after marriage but, if we live together, and we're going out together for a coffee or dinner or something, I can't help but imagine it to be boring, like, we already talked about everything at home, what would be talking about while sipping our coffee or having our dinner.. what if it's awkward ?
How do you do that ? How do you go out with people you live with ??
PS I'm an introverted person,.and socially awkward.. not very talkative.

Date nights are common in marriage. The thing you have to keep in mind is that married life can become very routine and after a while getting out is tougher due to a long list of reasons. Lack of time, sometimes if you have kids you have other things keeping you busy, and of course there are jobs and daily household chores and things that need to be done on weekends.
If you aside a night or two each month when you can just go out for a nice dinner or spend some time at a bar or otherwise just get out of the house and do fun stuff, it helps to keep the marriage good and strong and breaks the monotony of daily life.

It works. Getting away from the home environment once a week or month can't be boring - even if you are accompanied by wife or husband.
Especially if it is a restaurant with a nice ambiance, you can soak in the atmosphere, observe other couples, feel good to be served for a change.Just relax and enjoy.

I guess it's just natural because you love them it is the same way you can love your sibling and you stay together but you still want to spend time with them. I am also an introvert so we have a thing in common but if you find the right person you will just have things to say you know because you love them and you enjoy their company. But still marriage is a big thing, I have never been married so I don't know much about it.

@Babino when that time comes that you are married you will understand things better.

Just let it go. Just relax. Two people stay together every day. They can say anything they think of at any time. They can also keep silent when there is no topic

To me, if a person is getting married it's because they want to be with this person ALL the time and forever. I think about one-third of marriages actually work for the long term because many(both men and women) don't mind putting up with others' quirks and can actually stand to be around this other person ALL of the time. The other two-thirds are either greedy, self-involved, or selfish (or all three) and can't stand to be around anyone for that long.

If you love them it's nice. You don't even have to talk except about how the food is.

I'm sure it would not be boring. It's more fun going out with our loved ones on a date. You feel excited and you will surely be talkative

@Babino Sometimes when you are at home you won't be talking that much and would be busy with your phone etc. but if you go out together you enjoy the bonding the food, the ambiance and you will be more talkative
