Planning a date night but not feeling like getting dressed to go out? We hear you. After a long work week, it’s natural to sometimes feel like just staying in and having take-outs. But that shouldn’t mean, you should cancel your date night. Plop on the couch and snuggle under the blanket with your partner and begin a rom-com movie marathon. Here are seven movies currently on Netflix that would be perfect for your date night: 

Holidate

The holiday season is coming at us fast and while most people are in a merry, celebratory mood; it’s a time most singles dread. This story is about Sloane (Emma Roberts) and Jackson (Luke Bracey), who decide to be each other’s dates during all the important holidays so that Sloane can avoid judgment about being single from her family and Jackson can avoid emotional attachments with other women. Watch this for the cute chemistry between Roberts and Bracey and the relatable storyline.

Palm Springs

Can anything with Andy Samberg in it be bad? It’s a rhetorical question. This one’s one hilarious stuck-in-a-time-loop romance that will make you both laugh and cry, all together. Even though this Groundhog Day premise is nothing new, it’s Nyles (Samberg) and Sarah’s (Cristin Milioti) amazing comic-timing and chemistry that makes this a smashing must-watch.


13 going on 30

This classic rom-com, featuring Jennifer Garner as Jenna Rink and Mark Ruffalo as Matt Flamhaff, is going to stay evergreen no matter how many times we watch it. On her 13th birthday, Jenna wishes to be ‘30, flirty, and thriving’ and wakes up the next day as a successful 30-year-old woman. It’s heartwarming, funny and very cute!


The Switch

Is it even a rom-com if Jennifer Aniston is not in it? Next in our list is The Switch—an entertaining, funny and heartfelt film starring Aniston as Kassie Larson and Jason Bateman as Wally, her BFF who’s in love with her forever but has been ‘friendzoned’. Single and unmarried Kassie gets pregnant and has a son with the help of a sperm donor. Seven years later, it’s revealed that the sperm was mistakenly Walley’s! What follows, is a riot.


To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before

This sweet teenage romance between Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor) and her crush Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) is sure to melt the coldest hearts into mush. Centineo as Kavinsky is good-looking, popular and has a smile to die for—the ideal boyfriend material, who’ll make this movie worth watching. In fact, if you cannot get enough of him (which we promise, you won’t), there are two more movies in the trilogy—To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You and To All the Boys: Always and Forever—that you can watch immediately after.


Crazy Rich Asians

Now, Rachel needs to deal with jealous girls vying for Nick's attention to Nick's disapproving mother in a strange, new land. The movie is SO much fun! You’ll not get bored even for a minute, we promise.
