Want to take your new partner on a romantic date? Or maybe you and your long-term lover need a way to spice up your love life? These ideas will inspire you to create a date the two of you will rave about for years to come.
Take it outside! Plan a picnic for your beloved. Include all kinds of finger foods in your basket, as well as luscious fruits. Finish off the plan with a good bottle of wine to share. Take your picnic to the waterfront, the forest, or the backyard. If you're really adventurous, meet your lover at midnight for a quiet, private dinner that really is only for two.
Remember your first date? Make it happen again by recreating as much of it as you possibly can. Wear the same clothing (or something similar), go to the same place, and do the same things. Remember how you felt back then. Were you shy and nervous? Were you trying to be the man about town but managed to only fall apart the moment she asked you something serious? Laugh about that first date as you recreate it, and reignite the passion that sparked that night.
Hit the movie theater. Doesn't sound romantic? It can be! Make sure to sit in the back row in a movie that isn't sold out, so you have plenty of room and not many curious onlookers to see what you're doing. Share a big bowl of popcorn and a soda. Choose a romantic movie that the two of you agree on - something not too "heavy action" but not too "chick flick," either. Don't forget to kiss and make out during the slow parts!
Choose a nice hotel or a house on the beach and surprise your lover. Nothing is more romantic than the feeling you get from a weekend getaway, especially if you didn't expect to go! Go somewhere secluded, where you can either hike up countless trials or dig your feet into the sand. Spend just as much time in bed as you can manage, and if you don't leave the room, that's just fine!
Have a candlelight dinner. It's the old standby - but with a twist. This time, request a private room, something for just the two of you. It will cost more but it will be worth it! Plan on a dazzling meal with every course the restaurant serves, and lavish your lover with kisses and caresses while you share a good bottle of wine. Having a candlelight dinner is beautiful, but having a private one is divine!
