The Do-Over Date: which types it suits

The do-over date is picking a day to redo the date or outing that a fight spoiled. Same restaurant, same route, or finally doing the thing you'd planned to do that day: either works. Just suggesting 'Want to try that day again?' says you'd like it to become a good memory instead. Planning it together, photos from last time out on the table, is already part of making up.

When a fight gets attached to a particular place or date, it tends to sting again every time it comes up. Running the same day again, happily, lays a new memory over the old one. It suits couples who reconnect through time spent together, and people who hold on to meaningful moments. Agree in advance that the original argument stays off the agenda for the day, and you can actually enjoy it.
