The Perfect Date-Night Playlist, No Matter What Stage Your Romance Is At

Date nights can be a lot of things — awkward, stressful, intimidating — especially if you're having someone over to your house (or are going to be in the car for part of the date). That's why a good playlist is key, since it can lighten the mood and set the tone for an awesome night, whether it's your first date or your 14th. This mix of songs is appropriately flirtatious (is there anything worse than being on a first date and a very sexual song comes on?!) so that you and your date can relax and get to know each other better. Who knows, the playlist might even kick-start some interesting conversations about music!
