You might have heard that when it comes to spending time with the one that you love, the best way to somebody’s heart is through their stomach. Romantic dinners are a great way to get to know somebody special a little bit better, or even to bring life to an long-term relationship. When it comes to romance and love, dinner dates are the only way to go. Sure you could go to the movies, but let’s face it: You can’t really talk in a movie. Where will the chemistry come from? While movie dates are great, they are definitely no competition for a romantic dinner for two.
A romantic dinner for two has the ability to bring two lovers even closer together. As you sit down in a fancy restaurant across from a small table, face-to-face with the one you love, anything is possible. You’re close enough to touch but far enough away to make your date pine for your touch. You can look intimately in each others’ eyes as you speak. However, all too often people make the mistake of not giving enough thought into the planning of their dinner date. Here are some tips to make sure that your romantic evening is nothing less than perfect.
Nothing beats a home-cooked romantic dinner for two. You have the privacy of the home, candles on the table and rose petals throughout the house (maybe a bit overboard, but you get the idea). There’s something truly sensual about preparing a home-cooked dinner with someone. Trying a new, spicy recipe will make your bond that much stronger.
Road Trip
There might be some really nice restaurants only a couple of minutes away, but you’ll make your date even more special when you choose a place that is at least an hour away. After you pick up your dinner companion, you’ll be able to spend an extra hour together before the restaurant. The longer commute will inspire curiosity and a sense of adventure in the two of you (major aphrodisiacs). Then you have plenty of time to eat and get to know each other even more before taking the scenic route home.
Backyard
You would be amazed at how romantic it can be to prepare a candlelight dinner in your backyard. Unlike inside the house, you can put a lot of effort to decorate the area where you will be sharing your meal. Regardless of whether you make the food yourself or grab take out, you can turn your backyard into one of the most whimsically romantic places on earth.
Comedy
For those who get nervous about keeping up the conversation, it might be a good idea to make dinner reservations at a comedy club. While this may not seem as romantic, a might at a comedy club definitely has its advantages. After all, there’s nothing like sharing a laugh (or ten) to bring you closer together.
