Men can be terrified by the idea of romance. But not for the reason most people think. A lot of men like the idea of candlelit dinners and sunset picnics in the park. It’s the idea of planning these romantic get-togethers that makes men so reluctant. Having to think of what their other half will and won’t like, what will make their eyes light up with excitement and what will make them roll with disappointment, is what piles the pressure on men. Not to worry though, because The Heart Bandits have compiled the three, tried and tested classics that, when combined, will help men to pull off the ultimate romantic date.

Candlelit Dinner

In the introduction, I mentioned the idea of a candlelit dinner. This dependable classic is a great way to show your partner that you are really making an effort to give them some romance. Pick an overtly romantic setting in advance; perhaps a nice, classy restaurant, set in beautiful, eye-catching surroundings; something that will really wow them. One of the best ways to create romance is with the element of surprise. If you don’t tell them what you’re doing or where you’re going to be going it builds suspense, so that when you finally do reveal your romantic surprise to them, they are shocked and delighted all the more.

Whisk Them Away

Candlelit dinners are all well and good, but against the backdrop of bleak, drizzly rain they can sometimes lose a little sparkle. Which is exactly why surprising your partner with a romantic trip away to sunnier climates can provide the perfect environment for the ultimate date. Taking the initiative and spontaneously whisking them away is a great way to inject some romance into your lives. As we’re sticking with the classic moves, why not stick with the classic romance hot spots? Paris and Venice are all fantastic destinations to whisk your partner away and create the perfect location for the most special and memorable date.

Recreate Your First Date

Recreating your first date is a great way to add a personal touch and show your partner how much they have meant to you from the very beginning. Obviously, you cannot recreate everything; your first date might not have even been that romantic anyway. But you can create a similar atmosphere to that of your first date. Playing the same music, recreating memorable moments or simply reminiscing can be a fantastic bonding experience for the two of you. Showing that you distinctly remember romantic elements of your first encounter and that it felt significant to you will display to your partner how much you care.

By themselves, these date ideas are great and almost guaranteed to re-light or enhance the love in any relationship. A combination of these however, would certainly create the ultimate romantic date. Take these tips on board and provide your partner with an experience she will never forget. Don’t panic about whether things may go wrong, enjoy the moment with her and remember those little mistakes may make for a uniquely entertaining evening you can look back on and take humor in for years to come!
