<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Been dating for 8 months. We had a lot of unspoken tension between us for the past month. I finally couldn't take it and called her to talk about it. Amazingly she felt he exact same way.

We spoke for about an hour about our relationship and agreed there was something wrong we couldn't put our finger on. But we agreed it wasn't the same as it used to be and that we both felt the other person didn't care as much anymore.

She was pretty shaken up on the phone and but I could tell we were thinking the same thing. Anyways we ended up agreeing to just take a day to collect our thoughts and not talking to each other.

I'm picking her up from work tomorrow then we are going to her place. I know her roommate well and was planning on setting up a dinner with all her favourite foods and desserts in her house so when she gets home we will be able to have a nice at home date.

I was also going to tell her that I love her and just go from there (haven't said that word yet).

The dinner date isn't a desperation move, it's to take the first step in showing her I do care. Hopefully she picks up on this and puts in the effort too.

Is this a good idea or am I way off the mark here?
<bot>: There was unspoken tension between us and I addressed it. We are taking a day long break but I'm going to surprise her with a dinner date and tell her I love her (first time).
