Broke & in love

At some point of our lives, we all have looked into our wallets and the things we saw [actually, its more like what we didnt see] made us shake our heads in sorrow.

Or shame. Or a fine balance of both.

Actually, many of us are not really broke like that, we are just wealthy in transition.

And frankly, there's nothing stopping us from finding the love of our lives, or actually enjoying these relationships.

3. Cook together

See, all the recipes you see are stuff people were experimenting and stumbled upon.

You can make the best of your time with bae by whipping up several ingredients and trying out new recipes.

It could result in a great meal or terrible trash. But you'll have fun when making it and the fun and bonding of these moments are quite priceless.
