51 romantic ideas for every day
Romance: 51 Romantic Ideas for Every Day
Valentine's Day, First-Date Anniversary, Tuesday -- whether you're a to-be-wed or a newlywed, just about any day is a perfect excuse for sparking romance. Any time you feel the need to connect with your sweetheart, these ideas are perfect -- no holiday necessary.
1. Stuff a little love note in your sweetie's pocket, sock, or shoe. For maximum impact, try all of the above.
2. Secretly load a photo of the two of you as the desktop wallpaper on your honey's computer.
3. Burn a CD with tunes from your dating days and include your first dance (or favorite) song.
4. Sign up for dance lessons and specialize in sexy steps like the tango.
5. Find a hill, grab a sled, and go sliding by the light of the moon. Then warm up with some hot cocoa.
6. Create your own power-outage. Unplug all the lights and the television, then light candles everywhere. If you have a fireplace, toast marshmallows.
7. Buy a heart-shaped cookie-cutter and use it to make toast the next morning.
8. Make a romantic meal, then eat it together from one plate, with one fork and one knife.
9 Look up the date of the next full moon and celebrate with a champagne toast.
10. Learn to ice skate or in-line skate together. This works best when both of you are beginners -- the more clinging to each other, the better.
11. Leave a message on your sweetie's answering machine saying simply, "XOXO."
12. Meet for a lunchtime rendezvous and feast on each other in a secret make-out session.
13. For an inexpensive indulgence, rent four romantic movies and order in from your favorite Chinese restaurant.
14. Hate basketball and your main squeeze's addiction to it? Get tickets to a game. Despise musicals? Surprise your sweetie with tickets to a show. Go against the grain, and endure with grace and cheer.
15. Spend the day at a museum, holding hands.
16. Shop for a new bed or new mattress or new sheets. Be sure to whisper in your lovebug's ear something about the best part of your new acquisition.
17. Forget breakfast in bed. Have dinner in bed (and don't worry about the crumbs).
18. Write your vows (or recite them again to each other).
19. Take each other back to the place you first kissed/met/got engaged. Recreate the scene of the crime.
20. Give your sugar ten little cards, each describing a different lovable something about him or her.
21. Go to bed early. No books, no magazines, no remote control.
22. Tell a secret -- it'll bring you closer.
23. Create your own cocktail together. Then make up a name for it by combining your two names.
24. Write "I Love You" on the steamy mirror while your beloved is in the shower.
25. Make your cookie's favorite childhood meal for dinner.
26. Take turns reading aloud to each other from a great book -- one chapter each night.
27. Go to a bookstore or music store together, then split up. Your mission: Buy something you know your sweetie will love. Then, wrap and exchange.
28. Write and rehearse a toast to your beloved and use it at the next opportunity (your wedding, engagement party, family dinner, birthday...).
29. Have a picnic. It doesn't have to be outdoors, it can be on your living room floor.
30. Absence is an aphrodisiac. Spend a weekend without each other (substitute your best pal, your sister, your old college roommate) and plan to meet back at your place after 48 hours apart.
31. Teach each other about something the other knows nothing about. He can teach her all the rules of chess, or how to make a perfect omelet. She can teach him ten phrases in French and how to use the digital camera.
32. Play rock star and sing a love song to each other.
33. Get away from it all close to home -- spend a night in a very luxurious hotel or cozy bed-and-breakfast in your own city.
34. Find a beach and take a stroll together.
35. Play "tickle tackle." Everyone wins!
36. Get in a car together, pack your favorite music, bring along all of your maps, and just drive until you find a place you'd like to stop and explore.
37. When she is sleeping, slip a new necklace around her neck or a bracelet on her wrist.
38. Borrow his or her car and take it to a car wash for a full detailing job.
39. Get dressed together -- choose each other's attire (for work, for dinner out, whatever). Then, later, get undressed together.
40. Find your sweetie's car in the parking lot and tuck a love note under the windshield wiper.
41. Go to a movie. Sit in the back row. Smooch liberally.
42. Get tickets for the biggest, scariest roller coaster you can find and cling to each other for dear life with every plunge.
43. Have a professional portrait taken of you two together, in your favorite place.
44. Can't manage to meet for lunch? Have a phone lunch: get take-out, close your office door, and spend an hour munching and catching up with each other over the phone.
45. Write (yes, by hand, with a pen) a love letter. Then, mail it -- even if you live together.
46. Play footsie under the table.
47. Call your honey's favorite radio station and dedicate a song when you know he or she is listening.
48. Send each other a romantic email at the office.
49. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac. Be sure to put your sweetie's favorite variety on your pillows before bedtime.
50. Make a date. Get dressed up, flirt, and go out to dinner together (even if it's only out for a burger).
51. And finally, our favorite anytime, anywhere, romantic tip: Stop whatever you are doing and give your hotlips a big, wet kiss. Then walk away (with no explanation).
