Dove andiamo la prossima volta?

Where shall we go next time?

Pronunciation

DO-ve an-DIA-mo la PROS-si-ma VOL-ta — stress on 'do-', 'dia-', 'pros-', 'vol-'.

When to use it

At the end of a date — already looking forward to the next one. A confident and optimistic closing question.

What it means

'Dove' = where. 'Andiamo' = we go. 'La prossima volta' = next time. This question at the end of a successful date assumes there will be a next time — it is confident without being presumptuous, and collaborative without being passive.

Variations

Quando ci rivediamo?

When shall we see each other again?

Time rather than place — asking about the timing of the next meeting

Ho già una lista di posti dove portarti.

I already have a list of places to take you.

Confidence and enthusiasm — you have been planning ahead

Non lasciamo passare troppo tempo.

Let's not let too much time pass.

Urgency of reunion — the gap between dates should be short

Cultural Note

Planning the next date while still on the current one is a sign of genuine enthusiasm in Italian dating culture. Italians appreciate this kind of expressive commitment — it says the time together is wonderful and you want more of it.
