Creative Anniversary Date Ideas

March 15th, 2008

When you start dating, she will love any gift you give her. However, as your relationship grows she will expect you to give her things that are more meaningful. The following are some factors to consider when thinking about creative anniversary date ideas. Often it can be hard to think of creative anniversary date ideas that will be meaningful and different from your usual routine. Here are a few ideas of ways you can celebrate your past, present and future together.

The Past
Show her you’ve been paying attention to her and you know what she loves.

-If she loves the opera or a band, get tickets.

-Does she love adventures and outdoors? Plan a hike or canoe trip, get a picnic basket and a fishing rod.

-What is her favorite kind of food? Make reservations at a restaurant you’ve never tried, or cook her a meal.

-Do a tribute to your past together with a compilation of small gifts that represent the best things about her and your relationship.

-Make a time capsule box with special mementos from your relationship. Bury it in your backyard so you can dig it up later to add more items, or walk down memory lane together. Read the rest of this entry »

Romantic Gestures Matter

March 14th, 2008

Romance is easy. Especially when you consider that it is the little romantic gestures, every day that make the big difference. Women are relationship driven, when men are sexually driven. Small romantic gestures should be tailored to your lover, considering their gender. Little romantic gestures are important for several reasons.

Together
Small romantic gestures keep your love alive. In a world where things are always going wrong and it’s hard to depend on anyone, you know you can rely on each other. A romantic gesture says “I love you, enjoy our time together, and we’ll make it through”. Those small acts help us get through each day together. When you get to the end of the day, leave the disappointments behind, because your lover is waiting.

Affirmation
Reaffirm your love with small acts. Love is like a campfire. One night there are huge flames of passion, the next night it’s dark and cold. Avoid putting the fire out. Fuel the ambers with small romantic acts. It will be a lot easier to feed the fire than build it again. Providing steady romantic gestures makes your relationship more stable and keeps the flames of love alive longer. Read the rest of this entry »

Intimate Encounters: Setting The Mood

February 24th, 2008

In the first stages of a relationship sparks and chemistry were all you needed for intimate encounters. There was rarely a time when the two of your weren’t in the mood. After time, these things start to fade as you get to know one another and settle into a routine, intimate encounters become fewer. This list has small details that together will work to set a romantic mood in a big way and help create some intimate encounters.

Ambiance
Bright lights make for an industrial, commercial feel. No light at all can be awkward. However, low lighting is perfect for setting the mood. It is intimate and romantic. This is why candles are so often associated with romance. You do not have to run around lighting candles to set the mood. If you have a dimmer on the light, turn the lighting to a soft glow. Small lamps or bulbs with lower wattage can also help set the mood.

Sounds
Background noise plays a big part in setting the mood. Noisy distractions and some TV programs do not enhance romantic feelings. Soft music or romantic movies can be great for adding to the mood.

Scents
Fragrances have more to do with setting the mood than you may think. Any foul odors can put a damper on setting the mood. Flowers and candles add to the fragrances in the room. However, a diffuser or plug-in air freshener will spread an inviting and pleasant scent. Read the rest of this entry »

Romantic Bath

February 24th, 2008

For an intimate and romantic evening, try a relaxing bath together. Celebrate your relationship and your love by preparing for this special event. To make sure your romantic bath makes a splash we suggest you take care of a few of the basics. Spring clean, set the mood and relax in your romantic bath for two.

Clean
Dirt and grime never have a place in romance, for a girl. Make sure to wipe down the inside of the tub, around the edge, shine up the faucet, wipe down the floor and shine up the mirror. Take the time to prepare the space. For those who do not clean well or do not have a tub, consider making reservations in a hotel suite or at a bed and breakfast.

Candles
Turn off those bright bathroom lights and create a softer glow with tea light candles. This intimate atmosphere is inviting and relaxing.

Music
Play some music. Classical, jazz, or your own love mix will create a great backdrop for relieving tension and setting the mood.

Scented Bath Balls
Have some effervescent bath balls close by. They release romantic fragrances as they fizz and bubble. Some even have dried flower petals that add to the bath mix. Read the rest of this entry »
