The New Normal of Fancy Dinner Dates in Metro Manila

Dating was difficult enough as it was. Then, 2020 came along and changed everything—a global pandemic has affected every little aspect of our lives, including the way we socialize and develop romantic relationships.

Still, despite the changes, dating isn't entirely impossible. Some things will have to change, definitely, but you can still make the most out of the situation you’re in.

One way to do this is to invest more in the time that you do get to spend with your partner. That might sound a little obvious, but think about it: Now, more than ever, your time together is scarce and precious. You may not be seeing each other in person very often, so make sure than when you do, you go all-out. A fancy dinner date perhaps. Both of you deserve it.

The good news is that fancy dinner dates don't need to break the bank, thanks to Citi's Finer Deals promo from the “Dine With Citi” program—an exclusive offer for Citi cardholders, through which they can score first-rate dining deals of up to 50 percent off. Here are three top-notch promos under Finer Deals:
