You’ve been dating your partner for a couple of weeks and are ready to move things forward. A romantic dinner for two might be the perfect way to do that! Not only does this sound like a great idea, but it also lets you both share special moments. You’re waiting for him, so pick your outfit and put on some makeup (if needed). What are the ways how to prepare for a romantic date?
Research shared interests
Ask your partner what their favorite things to do outside work or with friends are, what TV shows they watch, and what kinds of books they read. That will help you find common ground to talk about on first romantic dates.
Do something spontaneous
Plan an impromptu date by getting close friends or co-workers together for drinks or dinner one night and letting both parties enjoy it without any pressure. Remember that this is only appropriate if both parties have been dating for several months.
Go to a place of your choice.
Never let an opportunity to spend time together slip off your hands by staying home, watching a movie, or having a lazy day. That can be done by going for a walk, having brunch, having a picnic in the park, or having dinner at a restaurant around you.
Tell each other what you think.
Lying is never calm, and no matter how hard you try, it is always possible to blurt out something that will remind someone why they don’t like them (that being said- there’s nothing more romantic than admitting that you’re wrong!). As awkward as it may appear to say this, you should find the perfect chance to address each other’s flaws by telling them how you feel about their appearance or mannerisms. The best part about this is that people generally take this as a sign of affection and will be more likely to open up to you during the romantic date.
Be open with each other
If there’s one thing that most people have in common, it would be that they don’t want to talk about their personal lives while out on a date unless they trust each other (and even then, they won’t tell you anything either). Therefore, stick by your partner’s side like a good wingman and listen attentively when something interesting is being said without interrupting. Be sure to coordinate your impressions later on in private to make sure you’re both on the same page, and be truthful about what you think (all this will help your partner feel more at ease around you).
It can be hard to plan a romantic date. It’s not easy to find time alone with your partner, and finding a topic of discussion can be challenging. Whether you’re trying to plan the perfect first romantic date or the perfect anniversary, the above tips will help you get ready for one of life’s little pleasures:
