Date Ideas: Romantic Dates
Take her somewhere where there is a spectacular
view...by the water or on top of a hill overlooking the city or town where you live.
------------
Go somewhere by an airport, sit in the grass, have a
picnic and watch the airplanes take off and land. It's really romantic.
------------
This might only work on the east coast. Take
your girl/boyfriend to the beach and watch the moon rise. It is very romantic when the
moon is full, and it turns the ocean orange.
------------
Take a bike ride in the country and bring along a picnic.
------------
The most romatic evening I ever had was like this: Men rent or wear a tuxedo, and tell the
girl to wear a really nice dress/gown. Take her into a downtown atmosphere. Walk into a
semi-formal or formal restaurant. After dinner rent a carriage ride through the city. With
big buildings, lights, and music... It's the perfect romantic setting.
------------
Economical: Picnics, star gazing, camp fires and
marshmallows - No-Budget: hot air ballon rides, jet ski rental and head for
the lake.
------------
Find an old barn and sit on the roof. Try to pick a night when the sky is clear and the
stars are visible. Bring a picnic lunch or just talk.
------------
The drive-in movie is a long, lost art. Tell your
date that you are going to the movies, but previously have set up a TV/VCR outside. Thus,
when you drive up to your set-up, you can roll down the windows, crank up the volume on
the movie, and enjoy a romantic evening. Note: you will need to do this near your home so
you can access extension cords.
------------
Drive her out into the middle of nowhere. When she asks you what you are doing, play a
slow song in your tape deck/CD player, turn it up loud and ask her to dance.
------------
Rent a paddle boat. Some cities (like Montreal in
Canada) have very romantic canals to explore.
------------
Go on a carriage ride pulled by horses.
------------
Go to the beach on a warm night. You can sit in the sand and talk and it is very romantic
to listen to the waves and watch the stars.
------------
If you really want a cosy, romantic atmosphere, find out if your city has gondolas. You
rent them and the company provides the gondolier so you can relax and talk with your date.
Bring along wine and snacks.
------------
Go to the beach at night. Bring a blanket, music and talk.
------------
Some companies offer evening cruises aboard a boat that resembles a large houseboat. Some
have restaurants in them that look out over the water, and music playing on the roof and
decks. This boat is not the size of a cruiseship and there are other people on it with
you, so the prices are very reasonable. Very romantic at night!
------------
If you own a sailboat take her
sailing in the evening. Bring a picnic dinner to have aboard the deck. Around dusk it will
be very romantic.
