Damon asks Elena on a date in exclusive \'Vampire Diaries\' sneak peek

With all the drama surrounding Kai, merges, and Bonnie’s whereabouts on

, Damon and Elena have struggled to find time to rekindle their love. At this point, Elena has finally admitted that she’d like to reconnect with Damon, despite the fact that she previously erased their love from her memory. So now, the former lovers are just looking for the right opportunity, and it might come their way this week.

In an exclusive clip from Thursday night’s episode, Damon finally puts his foot down and makes official plans to take Elena out to a proper dinner-and-a-movie date. Only when she realizes that he’s simply recreating something they’ve already done in the past, she shuts the idea down. But that’s not to say she shuts the date down.
