The at Home Date
An at home date is often much more impressive than the traditional type. For it to go off without a hitch involves some preparation. First set the scene.
Make sure the house, or at least the room for the big date is tidy and clean. Low light is notoriously romantic. Dim the lights then create soft lighting with candles or white Christmas lights. If the sun is setting open the windows. Simply controlling the lighting will cast a romantic glow on the evening. Turn on background music loud enough to set the mood, yet soft enough to allow for conversation and sweet nothings in her ear. Ignite her sense of smell by sprinkling perfume on the light bulbs or use scented candles. However, if cooking dinner allow the foods aroma to arouse her senses.
Don't forget to drop your kids off at the sitters. You don't want to go through all this work to have your lover switch into Mommy mode. Once everything is set, hop in the shower, put on some suave threads, and her favorite cologne. After all, you are the most important part of the scene.
Here are a couple of ideas to start your creative juices flowing: 1. Watch a romantic movie. Grab a blanket and snuggle on the couch with a dvd she's been dying to see. Or pull out an old favorite that has special significance. It doesn't matter if it is a drama with subtitles or is an action adventure. As long as it is chosen with her taste in mind, it can set off a perfect romantic evening. 2. Cook a romantic dinner. This old standard will never go out of style. Plan a simple menu with foods your spouse enjoys. Now is not the moment to experiment with a new recipe. Include an appetizer and a light dessert to complete the picture. 3. Have game night for two. Stay in on Saturday night and laugh and bond over a game of scrabble. Have a bottle of her favorite label on hand and use the good wine glasses. Share a relaxed, quiet evening at home and you never know how the night will end. 4. Use your environment. Clear a spot in the living room, put on a cd and ask your date to dance. While you are entwined in each other's arms whisper something sweet in her ear. Dust off the fireplace and light a fire. The soft flames, champagne, a blanket and cushions on the floor are very intimate. Or light candles around the hot tub or swim in your pool by moonlight. The point is to use what is already there, and create an experience, even if it means putting her hand in yours and embarking on an evening stroll.
