Do you rarely change dates?
I've never changed dates in the last 10 years, except on business trips. My holidays are about as predictable as the date of Easter.

If you want to lessen the inconvience, which can be huge if you're doing "tentative booking", I'd advise to book all your trips as two one-ways. If you want to leave one day later or before, you'll lose only on this leg of the trip.
