some red wine
Take
turns picking our your favorite bottle of red, get together,
sit back on a sofa and just hang out while you savor the
taste. After all, like Sinatra crooned, it is "the
days of wine and roses."
Savor
each and every one of them.

Light
some candles and talk
Sometimes
less is more and the less light the better. Think of ambiance
when you light up a bunch of candles and sit down for a
nice talk. Don't just put votives all over the hardwood
floor with only a thin blanket. They only do that in Hollywood
films. Plus, romance on hardwood is tough on the knees and
the arms!

Go
Skiing
Is
it cold up your way? Well, nothing beats a little excursion
to the slopes to make a great date. Hey, even if you live
down South, take a plane ride to Telluride, Colorado and
get some good skiing in. Afterwards, when you are chilled
to the bone warm up your romance next to the fireplace.
Need to date on a budget? Forget the skiing trip – go buy
a sled at Wal-Mart and find a hill.
You
can still do the romance thing when you're done!

Go
mountain biking
Rent
some mountain bikes or blow the dust off the ones in the
garage and head out for the trails. Visit your State's official
website for resources on where the best trails are located
in your area. This is great way to be active and romantic
all at the same time. Remember, when you are in the woods
and nobody is around, it is perfectly expected to have a
little break from bike riding and switch to other forms
of, eh, riding.
Just
don't get caught!

Text
that you are ready
This
romance tip involves a little trust, too, because you never
know where any kind of sexy picture of you might end up
(think, anywhere possible with the internet). But,
for those of you who are brave and trustful enough of your
lover, there is nothing that will get the romance sparks
flying faster than sending them a hot text while when they
are at the office. They'll be surprised when they flip open
their cell phone and find a text message picture of you
in next to nothing while they are sitting there bored to
death in a meeting.
The
risk is great, but so is the romantic reward.

Take
a weekend trip together
Nothing
can be more romantic than a fun-filled three-day weekend.
The idea is to go somewhere you can drive to. No matter
where you live, you might be surprised at all the romantic
getaways within a four hour drive in the car. In the
northeast, you can stay at a seaside cottage. In the
Midwest, drive to Chicago.
In the South, Florida beckons. The point is to do it
by throwing everything into two suitcases only and then throwing
caution to the wind. Avoid the rigmarole of the airport.
Explore
the country and you explore each other. Do
this, and you might not ever come back.

Browse
the net together – in bed
Hop
up in the bed in the morning, brew up a fresh pot of your
favorite coffee and browse the laptop together for the day's
news or the last sale you both might check out. Visit your
favorite entertainment sites or send funny emails to your
friends.
If
things go right, things might go from the electronic laptop
to each others.

Explore
sensual foods
The
right food choices can surely ratchet up the romance mood.
One of the all time classics is the strawberries dipped
in chocolate. This winning combination will surely
set the romantic mood. They are easier to make than
you think.
Go
buy an 8 oz. milk chocolate bar (pick a good one, Hershey's
comes to mind). Nuke it in 15-second intervals until the
chocolate is melted. 8 oz. will cover about 12 -
15 medium strawberries.
Use
any leftover chocolate on yourselves.
