Romantic Ideas--Romantic Dates to Try With Your Guy

Get Sweet

Tap into your inner Giada and have your guy over for a DIY fondue dessert night. Crack open a bottle of vino and tackle the assembly together, then spend the night snuggled up, sipping on cab and feeding each other chocolate-dipped everything.
----------------------
Bar Hop
Little known fact: Most bars offer “sample-sized” beers in 8-ounce glasses, as opposed to a full pint. Find a strip in your city with a few spots in close proximity, and embark upon your own beer tour—hopping from bar to bar with your BF, taste-testing different brews as you go.
----------------------
Play Scorcese
Rent a sexy foreign flick with your guy—but instead of turning on the subtitles, let the film run without. Then take turns guessing what’s going on in each scene, making up the plot up as you go.
-------------------
Double Date
Enlist one of your favorite couples and hit up bar trivia as a foursome. Research shows that hanging out with coupled-up friends will actually make you and your guy feel tighter. Bonus: You might even win a round of free drinks
--------------------
Surprise
Take your guy on a blind date…sort of. Tell him you have something in the works, but don’t give him any hints other than how to dress and where to meet you. Once you’re together, hit him with your surprise—like tickets to a concert or a VIP table reserved at a swanky bar.
------------
Ride Him
When it’s nice out, go to a car rental place and check out a convertible for the day. Spend the afternoon driving around, showing off your hot new ride—and at night, find somewhere open and airy to park it so you can lean back in the seats and check out the stars.
------------------------
Day Date
Take an afternoon to go roaming around a flea market or street festival. Spend a few hours sampling tons of goodies, buying knickknacks you don’t really need and letting everyone else there gawk at how damn cute you are together.
---------------------------
Tasting Time
Sign up for a tasting tour at a nearby chocolate factory, brewery or winery. Anything that engages your senses will automatically make you both feel more touchy-feely, making you feel thisclose during your date.
------------------
The Fancy Brunch
Grab brunch at a fancy restaurant. Not only will your brunch have a way more relaxed, intimate vibe than lunch or dinner would, but it’ll also be cheaper—and you’ll have all day ahead of you to spend together afterward.
