AND FINALLY, THE NUMBER ONE RULE:
1. Don’t rub the lamp if you don’t want the genie to come out.

A romantic date does not always have to mean going out somewhere. Sometimes, it is nice to just have a romantic night at home together. Not only can a couple relax in a familiar setting; they don’t have to worry about how to get home after a few drinks. There are several ways to make staying at home together into a romantic date.

Romantic Date at HomeFirst, you need to consider the small things, which transform a home into a very romantic setting. Creating a romantic atmosphere involves getting a few choice items such as flowers, scented candles, glass beads or stones, chocolates, music, good food and wine. When these things are all in place, romance will fill the air.

It is always a good idea to start by cleaning the house or apartment somewhat, as nobody likes a mess. Next, take the flowers and place them in the center of the table, along with some nice dinner candles. If you don’t have candleholders, use empty wine bottles. When the wax melts and runs down the bottle it looks very artistic and romantic. If you were able to get extra flowers, place them in vases in various places throughout the house. If you don’t have vases, you can use empty wine bottles again or empty jars without labels on them. To make the flowers more creative looking, you can add food coloring to the water or place some glass beads or stones in the bottom of each jar or vase.

Set your table for two, complete with wineglasses, napkins. Make the table look very romantic and inviting. Select an assortment of music for the evening. If you have a CD player that loads 5-6 CDs, load the music in advance and select shuffle mode. This way the music is looked after for the evening and you will not have to keep getting up to change the music. Try to keep the volume of the music at a level that will be heard and yet not interfere with your conversation.

If you are having appetizers, try to prepare them in advance so that you can enjoy the evening more. If the appetizers are ready to put in the oven or onto the grill, the evening commences much smoother. It is nice to have a drink together while enjoying the appetizers and talking with soft music playing. Also, it is good to have a scented pillar candle or two to place on the coffee table and in the bathroom as it just adds to the atmosphere.

When the time comes to prepare the main course, you may either have all the ingredients to make something together from scratch or you may decide to have some Chinese take out brought in. Finally in regard to dessert, you may want to either have a homemade dessert made the night before or have bought something nice from a local bakery like a cheesecake for instance. Women generally love desserts, so try to remember to have a good dessert handy for sure! Have fun with the whip cream when putting the dessert on the plates. Swirls of chocolate syrup over the dessert with whip cream can be the best!

After dinner, perhaps the two of you can go to the living room and enjoy an after dinner drink or some tea or coffee with a few chocolates. From here the evening could progress in various directions. You could either watch a rental movie together or maybe enjoy romance in the bedroom. If it looks like you are both going to be in the bedroom… it would be romantic to have some flower petals leading to the night of romance.

There are several romantic places where couples can go to spend some quality time together. Where a couple goes together depends on their interests and the type of people they are. Some people are outdoors types, while others would rather be inside somewhere, enjoying a glass of wine.

Romantic Places For the couple who like being outdoors, there are endless places to go and enjoy nature. Beaches have always been a romantic place for couples to go for a walk or a picnic. There is something very romantic about being near the water and watching the waves. Just the sound of the beach puts a person in a romantic mood. The sound of the water and birds and maybe even a foghorn in the distance if it is a foggy day, is very sensual. Keep in mind some of the most romantic walks couples can have are on beaches on a cloudy day. The sun does not have to be shining to spend a romantic day at the beach. Dress yourselves warm and start a bonfire on the beach if you can. Roast some hotdogs and marshmallows and enjoy a drink together while listening to the crackling bonfire. Share a warm hug together.

Another very romantic place to go is to a cottage in the country somewhere. If this cottage is near the water, that is even better! There is nothing like a weekend excursion to a cottage with your loved one. Pack your things, plan a menu and jump in the car and go! If the cottage has a fireplace, it is one of the most romantic features for sure. To sit by the fire and have a glass of wine and listen to soft music is extremely romantic. Don’t forget to bring your favorite chips and dip too! Snacks are good to munch on while laughing together into the night. Just watching the hot flames of the fireplace flickering in the darkness ignites passion for a couple in love.

Picnics in a park or in the woods are nice too. Being amongst the trees and flowers in the woods is very romantic. Hearing the birds chirping and having the warm sunshine down on you as you walk through the woods together enhances love somehow. There is a certain peace a couple gets by being in nature together. Being in the woods feels so natural and brings out a sort of primitive romance that can be very sexy!

Another romantic place where a couple can go is out on a boat together. Either going out on a sailboat or speedboat is very romantic. There is something that being out on the water together, away from the land that is exciting and fun. In a speedboat the wind blows through your hair and there is a certain feeling of freedom that you feel with the one you love.

There is a certain art to being romantic. Romance requires a person to be attentive to the details of love. Romance is about creating atmosphere, mood, feelings, thoughts and actions in a passionate way.

Art of Romance A romantic atmosphere is created with candles, soft music, flowers, and fragrances.

A combination of romantic items set the mood for love and passion. Wine, chocolates and a variety of finger foods all add to creating a mood for love and romance. If the atmosphere is right, romantic will follow.

When selecting candles, you may consider vanilla, as it is a scent, which appeals to most people and awakens the passionate senses. A variety of music is romantic in nature, especially classical and instrumental nature CDs. There is nothing like the sounds of nature to inspire primitive passion. The sounds of water in a brook, songbirds, crickets and other wildlife inspire and nurture love.

The wine you select can really add to the romance too. Often a good quality red wine from Australia, Italy or France is a good choice. After picking out a good bottle of wine, you should set up a nice table with wineglasses and a candle in the center. Try putting some glitter on the tablecloth as it can really add some festiveness to the evening of romance.

Also the flowers you pick out can bring passion to the evening. Roses are often the best choice of flowers as they express romance. Red roses are very popular as they have such a beautiful fragrance and represent love and passion. If you get red roses, long stem roses are the most beautiful. If you have some loose rose petals, you may want to place them on the floor or table.

Chocolate is an aphrodisiac and is certainly a must for a romantic evening. Truffles are the best, as they are so creamy and decadent. When selecting the type of chocolate, dark chocolate is the best for its aphrodisiac qualities.

Also, if you have an indoor serenity pond, it can create a very relaxing and romantic sound in the background. There is something very soothing about hearing water trickle over rocks. The sounds of nature are very romantic and set a beautiful mood for the evening. If it is a warm summer night, you may want to open the window a little bit to let a gentle breeze blow into the room. All these things create a mood and atmosphere for romance.

Embrace the art of romance. Be creative and express love in many ways to your loved one. Create an atmosphere that invites love and romance into your life. Let candles be the light as you drink a glass of wine with the one you love. Look at each other in the soft light and listen to the gentle music combined with the sounds of nature as the warm summer breeze comes in. Let love dance in the room as the candle flickers softly. Embrace love with all your passion!

What is a romantic moment? Is it a gesture? A gift? A thought? Passion? Yes, to all of the above. By learning the desires and needs of your partner you can understand what is romantic to them. The key to this is open and honest communication.

Touch Kiss Smile It matters not whether you are male or female; both sexes have a desire to feel special. Women want their men to listen to them and to take them seriously. Men want to feel that their interests are shared. Isn’t it important then to help each other and the relationship grow by sharing these things with each other? You need to take time together every week to talk about these things and learn about each other.

Discover your loved one’s interests, share them, and make them special by making each occasion unique. For example if your partner likes to dance, plan a special evening. Go the extra distance by making it a unique experience; a moonlight dance followed by a much wanted gift. Even if you have a romantic meal at a restaurant, each event should be a different occasion in itself.

Explore each other’s desires. Would he like an all over body massage? Would she like a bubble bath and rose petals on the bed? Make love until dawn and the stars turn to dust. Learning about each other should never end, even after years of marriage people change, there are always new adventures to be had.

Live each other’s dreams together. Find out what your partner’s dreams are. Help them to grow, to achieve these goals. Each of you write down five things that you dream about and exchange your lists. Talk about.

Does a romantic moment need to cost money? No, absolutely not. A touch to the side of the face, holding hands, a smile, a gentle kiss, a flower from the garden-none of these cost a dime, but mean the world to someone you love.

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, But what is more
painful is to love someone and never find the courage
to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be
and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you’ve ever had.

4. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s
also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like
someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime
to forget someone.

6. Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that
fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a
smile to make a dark day seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you
want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the
things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a
timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you
were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

Love is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it.
Love can make you happy but often it hurts,
but love’s only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.

1. Be sure that his attention is what you want. Don’t try to get a guy to look your way just because you want attention and you want to feel good about yourself. You don’t want to lead someone on. You could end up in a very awkward or uncomfortable situation–see the Warnings below.
2. Be yourself. Everyone probably says this, but it’s true! No guy wants a girl to pretend she is something she’s not. Any guy who wants a fake kind of girl is not a guy whose attention is worth having. Resist the temptation to put on a show or to do anything that just isn’t you just to get his attention.
3. Get a new look. Don’t change who you are, just try something different. Try a new hairstyle, new clothes, etc. It’s a good idea to change things up once in a while, just because variety’s the spice of life, and it might help you catch his eye. Try being that tough girl who is different from all the other okay looking girls giving him the eyes, because beauty is common, but a good outlook and a great energy are very rare.
4. Smile and make eye contact. Whether closed-mouth or open-mouth, do it. Unless it really makes you feel artificial, learn how to shoot people a reassuring smile, letting them know that you’re a happy and confident person who wants to enjoy life. The idea is to communicate that you’re inviting their company.
5. Flirt. Do it as little or as much as you want, but remember that too much flirting (especially with other guys) will likely get him to take notice, but perhaps not in a good way. If he reacts and you don’t think its real (he’s just doing it because you’re there and you’re a girl and he thinks he can do better, let him know he can’t). If he is faking it, call his bluff and say something that makes him know you don’t think he is ‘all that’. For example, if he comes close, pull a face and offer him gum. This will unbalance his ego.
6. Try to be around him often. Such as sitting near him. Take interest in the activities he’s interested in, not just so that you can get near him but also so that you can get to know him better and so you can broaden your own horizons. (But never pretend to love something you don’t even like just because he likes it! Although most guys find this cute, when and if they ever find out, it can be painful for you, and usually unnecessary.)
7. Talk to him. Try to get to know him a little by discussing things you have in common. A good way to start a conversation is to ask him a question. Listen to him and don’t interrupt him when he is talking. You could even compliment him or ask for help. A good opener is spray two different perfumes on each wrist, then go up to him and ask him his favorite. This should get him to talk to you. Also be friendly to his friends to help him feel more comfortable around you. Some guys don’t notice girls unless they talk to the guy.

1. Be assertive. You are the girl. You have the power. A lot of guys are shy and awkward around girls they like, so don’t hold back. Do what you want to do. Boys like a powerful girl. Be decisive. Tell him what you want him to do, etc.–just don’t get too bossy!
2. Make him feel special. There’s got to be a reason that you want him to notice you, and that’s because you noticed him first. Let him know–subtly–that you’re interested in who he is, and that you sincerely want to get to know him better.
3. Be brave. Stand up for who you are, and what you believe in. Ultimately, this will catch the attention and respect of someone who is going to work well for you, even if it turns out not to be this guy.
4. Don’t be a slob! It’s a real turn-off for a guy when he notices a girl hasn’t brushed her hair or wears the same outfit every other day. Clothes, makeup, and jewelry are the typical items many guys expect girls to wear. Even if you don’t fall within the typical expectations, just looking presentable is always desirable–irrespective of who is the guy or girl.
5. When you have come familiar perhaps you could touch his arm or as I’ve found very handy just when you are walking hold your hand slightly away from your body so he could hold it. Also you can lean toward him when your sitting next to him, but not too close. You could also use his shoulder as an armrest (but whatever you do don’t lean on it!!!) or place your hand upon his shoulder very gently.
6. Try to be his friend, find out about him (but not too much)and try to understand his personality!

The language of friendship is not words but meanings .

“Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends whom we choose.”

” Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.”

Looking for the perfect evening out idea?
You and your partner should spend the whole evening in the garden, with lit candles, and talking ’till dawn. It’s a good food for the heart.
Douglas
The entire day together - just us two, and only us two. Watching a movie together… Whatever. Just as long as it’s just me and my man. For dinner, we go to the beach at sunset and have a picnic there. W/ just each other, showering each other w/ our love.
Arianna
I would pick her up in a limo, I would be dressed in a tux, where inside I would have soft music playing, a chilled bottle of wine. There would be two dozen red roses for her. We would then go to her favorite restaurant for dinner, followed by a moonlit ride to a place where we could sit under the stars and I could tell her just how much I loved her.
Joe Lacey
My idea of a perfect evening out would start with a picnic on a very secluded bluff overlooking the ocean. Dinner would consist of a variety of finger foods that we could feed to each other as sit closely together and watch the waves roll in. After we would eat, we would watch the sun set, wrapped in each others arms. Snuggling, we would then talk about whatever we felt like talking about or just enjoy the warmth of each other’s arms as the stars one by one would fill the night sky. The radio would be playing softly, of course tuned into a love songs only station. When our favorite song would start to play on the radio, we would dance slowly under the stars, holding each other tightly. Letting the words of the song speak to each other’s heart, we would begin to give into our passion. And then under the stars, with the sound of the gentle waves caressing the shore, we would … well, being a romantic yourself, I’m sure that you can figure out what would happen next all on your own.
Seraya
Dinner at a nice place, he bring me flowers, red and white roses, on time have dinner go dancing and come home and have a bubble bath with strawberries and Moet.

It would have to be related to sports. First, I’d probably have a limousine take us to the airport and we’d fly to wherever the team was playing that he would be interested in that particular week. If it was an afternoon game, we’d do dinner afterwards or a night game, we’d do dinner first.
Patti
I would organize something like a romantic picnic at night, near a beautiful lake, moonlight lights at us both while slowly dancing to a romantic music holding each other close.
katy
I would take her to a very expensive restaurant, romantic, quiet and very love mooded. then go to the theater of her choice, after that the rest of the evening would consist of drinks and dancing at the night club of her choice. On the way home in the wee hours of the morning a slow moonlit ride by the water front where we would stop and kiss and talk about he evening that passed. That is how I would do it for her.
bob
My boyfriend is totally athletic and I’m not. He loves to go skating so I think I would try and rent the skating rink out for a little while for just the two of us. Maybe order a pizza and just hang out and enjoy each other’s company!
Rebekka
I would give him a rose, go under the stars and listen to our song. I would have a picnic. Slow dance with him, and hold each other close. Then we would stay there and watch the sun come up with us still holding each other so close. =)
Anonymous
Just have a dinner at our backyard with our favorite song as our background and savor the moment together. We will talk about anything that we want to talk.
Tam
I do my best to make it a complete secret and mystery to him. I’d plan something that he wouldn’t expect for an evening out, something special that doesn’t happen all the time. A hot air balloon ride, a trip to a small town an hour away that he loves to spend time in. Take him to his favorite museum then on a picnic. I wouldn’t let him in on the plans at all… just tell him where to be and when, so that when he finally realizes what we’re doing, it’s the utmost surprise to him.
Danielle
For the “perfect evening out”, I would first do all the planing and add an element of surprise, like having a great card delivered by the florist with a fresh cut bouquet. In the card would contain two theater tickets and instructions as to when I would arrive to pick her up. I would have my change of clothes at the office so I could pick her up in true dating style. I would take her to her favorite restaurant and then to the theater. During the performance I would hold her hand and flirt with her by kissing her fingers and wrist, giving her my full attention, while distracting her a little. Arriving at home, we would just sit in the driveway for a while under the moon and stars and just talk and share some private time before going in to the children.
Ric L. Baccus
We’d go rock climbing during the day-which of course promotes teamwork and total reliability on your partner. Then we’d go on a riverboat and eat and dance the evening away. After that we’d hit 9 holes of golf,go to an upstanding hotel and the rest is x-rated.
melissa wojdacz
My boyfriend loves 3 things (besides me!): food, golf, and movies. We would go to a seafood restaurant, then play 9 holes at Pebble Beach, then go back home for a movie and ice-cream.
Erin
To plan the perfect evening out with my partner I would consider what he enjoys the most. First we would have dinner at a real nice restaurant; a classy place. My partner loves the dark; night time, so I would plan on going somewhere quiet where we could look at the stars.
E. Zingaro
Well I would tell him that I needed him to come home from work on Friday a bit early. Then I would take him for a long romantic walk along the beach were we met (and now live). Then I would take him out for dinner and dancing. We would come home to a cool, dark house and well… never mind the rest of it!
§hannon
I would take my partner to a romantic candle light dinner. We would find a little secluded table in a restaurant and feed each other while listening to soft music. We would dance very slowly on a balcony, with our arms wrapped around each other. Then we would walk hand in hand through a park full of trees like lovers do, lay on the grass and watch the stars and hold each other tight, not wanting to let each other go.
Patsy
My boyfriend and I don’t have a lot of money, so going out to an expensive restaurant for our anniversary was out of the question. However, I told him that I would like to go out for dinner anyways, and that I would pick him up & we’d just go to McDonald’s or something. Beforehand, I sent my friend to prepare. She picked out a secluded table in the restaurant (be sure to do this in the smoking section, and maybe check with the manager first) and put a fancy table cloth over it. She set the table with plates and silverware and lit two candles as we walked in the door. She greeted us and told us that she would be our waitress for the night. She took our orders (two big macs and a large fry) and promptly delivered it to us, on the plates. She poured Sprite into two wine glasses and then left us to our own devices. My boyfriend spelled out things for me with his fries and fed them one by one to me. It is the most fun one could ever have at a McDonalds, and I made sure to leave our “waitress” a large tip.
Natasha Kinsley
I’d start by going to his house to pick him up, and we’d walk to an open field where I would have already set up a picnic with candles and music. After we ate I would give him a back rub and then we would hold each other as we looked at the stars and wait for the sun rise the next day!

This would be a great gift idea for those 20-something year olds that grew up with the books Choose Your Own Adventure and want to make a creative love journal. Basically, the books gave you choices and depending on your choices you would flip to different pages. They were especially fun to read because you could reread the books and change your fate every time depending on what you chose to do. I made my own for my boyfriend’s birthday based on our “misadventures” (i.e. our first date: hiking up to a waterfall then playing on the slippery rocks barefoot, only to lose my footing and have him grab me by my bra strap to stop me from slipping off the rock). The best part about creating your own book is that you end up asking yourself “what if questions” (to come up with alternate endings) and realize how lucky you were to actually have been there at the right time to meet that special someone. To get started you might want to go to the public library and check out a “choose your own adventure” book from the children’s section (you won’t find it in bookstores anymore unless it’s a used one, they stopped making them). Then start writing down your favorite memories and let your creativity run wild for alternate endings. For a twist you can make only one good ending (that you and your loved one end up together) and the rest of them that you don’t and see if they pick the right ending or it takes them a couple of tries. Don’t get me wrong, it can get time consuming depending on how detailed you want to get but it’s worth seeing their smile in the end, and knowing that they’ll never get another gift quite like it.

My boyfriend and I had been having a bad day! Well, at the end of the day he had talked me into going to his locker by telling me that he had a surprise for me. I was leaning against the locker next to his when he appeared to be pulling something out of his locker, and then told me to close my eyes. I was still upset (for whatever reason) and refused, so he covered my eyes with his hand and kissed me. It made me forget about everything and realized it was stupid for us to be fighting. It was so sweet and unexpected and to this day neither of us has forgotten that moment.
