Romantic date ideas

Romance can have different meanings for everyone, so it can be important to know your partner and to understand her idea of romance. For example, if she is not a fan of the outdoors, a walk in the park, horseback riding, or picnic on the lake may not feel that romantic for her. So, try to consider her likes and dislikes when you’re planning a romantic outing and trying to show your love. With that in mind, here are a few romantic date ideas to consider:

1. A Candlelit Dinner For Two: This is a classic, elegant option that many people find very romantic. To make it even more special, try to take her to a place with a cuisine she likes or with a unique ambiance that she will enjoy and remember.

2. Go Parasailing: For some people, going on adventures together can feel extremely romantic. You can add a little adventure to your relationship by doing something for the first time as a couple. If neither of you has been parasailing but often talk about it, you can make plans to surprise her with the adventure. If parasailing doesn’t sound like a fun date, rock climbing or kayaking could be some fun alternatives.

3. Cook Dinner For Her: You don't have to go out to eat for it to be romantic. You could prepare her favorite meal at home or bake her favorite dessert. To make it more special, you could try to create a romantic environment at home with candles and music. You can also take an online cooking class together or end the meal by playing a board game she loves.

4. Plan A Weekend Away In Her Favorite City: Who says a date can only last for a few hours? Taking her to her favorite city for a few days or the weekend can be very romantic. You can enjoy exploring the city together and plan romantic things to do as a couple, like going to a comedy show downtown or doing a scavenger hunt around the city.

5. Tour A Winery: Wineries often have a romantic feel and can be conducive to a special, romantic date for the two of you. If there isn't a winery locally, you can find one nearby, and make a trip out of it. 

6. A Spa Day: If your partner enjoys going to the spa, you could schedule a spa day for the two of you to enjoy together. You could do couple's massages, facials, and other treatments that might make you both feel special. 

7. A Picnic By The Water: If your partner enjoys time outside, you could pack a picnic and choose a nice quiet spot near the water. Water can often add a romantic element to a date, so sitting by the water while enjoying her favorite foods that you’ve prepared could feel very special. 

8. Breakfast In Bed: A romantic date can begin before her day ever starts. You could cook her favorite breakfast and bring it to her in bed. It can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like, but this can show her that you want to add a touch of romance to her day.
