Find places you might like to revisit
To choose a date spot together, pick a few places from past photos that you might both enjoy revisiting. Talk about the time you have and how you would get there, and ask whether what you enjoyed then still suits you both now.
One person does not have to choose every option. Each of you can suggest as much as you feel comfortable with, and you do not have to explain in detail why you would rather skip a place.
Narrow down options with three photos
Choose three places from photos you took yourselves or have permission to share.
For each photo, note one remembered moment and a condition to check this time.
Discuss comfortable travel times and what you would like to do, changing or removing options as needed.
Check each venue’s official information for opening hours, closures and reservation requirements, then decide together.
A fictional comparison
Here is an editorial example: “A: riverside. Photo from a sunset walk. Check the weather, because rain could make a walk difficult this time.” Check the current weather separately; it is not in the old photo.
“B: bookstore. Photo of choosing books together. Discuss how long we want to browse.” “C: tea shop. Photo of resting by the window. Check today’s opening hours.” A past photo does not guarantee that a seat or venue is available now.
Add your thoughts in comments
If everyone agrees to share, participants with writing permission and an internet connection can add photos and notes about the options to a shared Pogaem calendar. Participants with comment permission and an internet connection can add thoughts such as, “I like B. I’d like to take our time browsing this visit.”
It is fine if someone needs more time to answer. You can suggest another place or decide when you meet. Comments record a conversation; they are not an automatic poll or reservation.
Check the details after deciding
A short note with the chosen place and the date you checked it can help you remember what was decided if plans change. Confirm opening and reservation information with the venue again before visiting.
In Pogaem, you can find shared photos by date on the calendar. Check sharing permissions and consent before sharing a photo that shows location information or another person.
Frequently asked questions
Can we consider a new place we have not photographed?
Yes. Write its name and your questions yourself, then check the venue’s information. You can make a text-only record.
What if my partner prefers a different place?
Talk again about what each of you wants, change the options or postpone the decision. You do not need to follow the fictional example.
Can Pogaem book a venue or run a vote?
This guide describes sharing views through photos, notes and permitted comments. Check availability, make reservations and decide separately.
