The reason plans fall through is rarely a lack of interest. It is that someone has to be the person who organises it, and that person is usually tired.
Small and booked beats big and hypothetical
An hour that is already arranged will happen. A free weekend you both intend to make something of will, more often than not, become laundry.
Take turns choosing
Alternating who picks removes the negotiation, which is the part that quietly drains the enthusiasm out of the whole idea.
