If you are not attracted by the prospect of evening together in the kitchen, then date each other outside. Sometimes it also brings romance in relationships: you will have to put on nice clothes and enjoy dinner together.

For example, be creative in drawing up an invitation:

Invite your partner using a telegram. Receiving such telegram at work is a special pleasure. But at home it will bring no less joy (and surprise, if you live together). If your partner reads a daily newspaper, place your invitation there.

Take menu from the restaurant where you plan to spend an evening, and send it to your partner, as an invitation for a romantic evening at convenient time (or specify a specific date and time).

Keep everything in secret until the last moment. If you know he is available, ask one of his friends to represent a driver (or order a taxi) and suddenly get him (or her) after work or at home. If a driver has to wait in a crowded place, ask him to hold a poster with your partner’s name. Warn your beloved, that something unusual expects him outside. Driver should also bring your loved one at the restaurant, not saying any words.

In the restaurant you need to make your loved one an unexpected surprise, if you want to make this evening something different from a normal lunch. Come by at least half an hour before an appointed date, and discuss everything with manager or waiter.

By the way, for a romantic dinner you should not necessarily go to an expensive restaurant. Explore local restaurants through newspapers and advice of friends, and choose a beautiful and quite accessible restaurant.

For final establishment of romantic atmosphere, prepare a gift that should be put on your loved one: jewelry (natural or bijouterie), bobby pin for tie, flower, hat or something else. Put this gift in a box along with a note requesting him to wear. If this is a familiar subject that has particular significance for you, the better. This is just a funny gesture, to add some mystery.

Write him a love letter, which he will read on the way to the restaurant. Prepare a CD (where you speak or sing), he will be pleased to listen to it on the way to the restaurant. Take a portable tape recorder with a tape or CD-ROM with your favorite song. Until your loved one has not yet appeared, scatter rose petals on the table.

Evening at the restaurant

But that’s not all. You can ask a waiter to place a single rose in a vaze on your table, along with a note: “To the most beautiful man (woman) in the restaurant from a secret admirer.”

Use more fancy. For example, to present a gift in an original way, try to put it it in food - cocktail is the best for this. In any case, such a thoughtful romantic dinner full of surprises is an excellent cause to make a proposal, and any gift will be pleasant and romantic, for example: a bracelet, put on a bottle’s the neck, plastic egg in a salad with a set of sexual lingerie, a pair of tickets to the theater or on a plane, wrapped in a tissue … Use your ingenuity! Try not to overuse!

Ask a waiter to inform that, on the rules of the restaurant, couples visiting it for the first time receive a special prize, designed as a regular menu (it is your job). The booklet should be contain several conditions, one on each page, prescribing what you need to do. You can write all you want, but here are some tips:

1. Dance waltz (even if the restaurant has no dance floor).
2. Sing a love (or funny) song.
3. Make a swan of your napkin.
4. Tell your companion why do you love her/him.
5. Kiss tenfold.

The last task should be addressed directly to him and be quite special: love sonnet, an invitation to a romantic walk, proposal, or something else that your heart tells.

If the restaurant has a dance floor, where musicians play, order a specific song for your partner. Or a dance!
