“A Love Unseen is a Love Unspoiled”
(General Saying)
Sarah and Alex had been work colleagues for a while, and as time went by they developed a close friendship.
They often found comfort and solace in each other’s company, sharing personal stories and providing mutual support.
However, both Sarah and Alex were aware of the complexities that can arise from workplace relationships.
Wanting to avoid unnecessary gossip or potential complications, they decide to keep the nature of their connection private.
As a way to maintain a normal relationship, they found sneaky ways to be together without everyone else finding out.
What does sneaky link mean?
In light of modern relations the term “ Sneaky link” is quite common about playful yet mysterious connections often under the radar.
A sneaky link is simply someone you share a private and discreet relationship often hidden from the prying eye of the public.
Different scenarios lead to sneaky linking including people transitioning from one relationship to another, friends dating friends, etc.
Though this relationship captures the spirit of connection outside conventional boundaries, all the sneaking and hiding can be tiring, and hard to find time together.
It is therefore important to create private moments that define the relationship.
In this post, we will highlight 15 private, romantic, and thoughtful date ideas that offer a unique blend of secrecy and intimacy.
1. Secret Garden Dinner
We start off the sneaky link date ideas list with a romantic garden candle-lit dinner which is one of the most private experiences any couple can have together.
In your private outdoor space create a makeshift dinner space with fairy lights and candles, a table and pillows, or seats to sit on per your budget.
Cook a special dinner and enjoy a romantic meal together under the stars.
This kind of date is magical slowly unfolding in the comfort of your privacy with the night breeze hitting you and meaningful conversation taking precedence.
2. DIY Spa Night
Wouldn’t it be such a romantic event to turn your night into a pampering session?
You can plan on turning your home into a spa retreat.
Set up a relaxing session whereby you offer each other acts of service such as giving each other massage sessions.
Have a relaxing bath, and lay back at night with homemade face masks and an amazing face care routine.
If the budget allows it, take it a notch higher by inviting an in-house masseuse and just chill and enjoy a shared pampering experience.
3. A Late Night Driving Retreat
How romantic would it be to go on a quiet drive with someone you like?
These sneaky link date ideas would be incomplete without some night activity and a late night drive is just perfect for privacy.

Then drive to a secluded spot away from city lights and spend the night stargazing.
Bring blankets, and hot beverages, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the night sky.
4. Join a Group Event
It wouldn’t be so obvious if two people who know each other happened to meet at a group event, now would it?
How about you pick a group activity and show up differently and casually bump into each other at the location *wink*?

Try to find events and groups where it’s unlikely to find people you know.
