There’s nothing better than coming home after a long day of work to a warm, homemade meal. Although not everyone has the cooking genes, having a little help from a friend is always acceptable! A sweet candlelight dinner and your significant other’s favorite dessert can only lead to romance. Just remember, it’s always nice to flatter and flirt, just like you’re on your first date all over again.

2. Chocolate-covered Strawberries

Okay, let’s get serious. Chocolate-covered strawberries are notorious for being a romantic dessert. And, it’s also known to be somewhat of an aphrodisiac if you’re looking for something in that realm. However, common courtesy implies that you shouldn’t expect anything from your partner just because you took the romantic route for the night.

3. Flowers

The ultimate, classic gift for your significant other is as simple as a bouquet of flowers. Even if it’s a last minute gift, I’ve never observed someone who was upset for being surprised with the seemingly small but sentimental gift of flowers. BONUS: If you and your partner consent, you might be able to spread the petals in a warm bubble bath or the on the floor for some added romance throughout the night.

4. A “Story of Us” Book

These books have been popping up more and more the past few months. There are a few websites that you can go to for templates and/or creating a professionally made, hardcover book. The thought put into even a simple storyline that follows the development of your relationship can mean the world to your significant other. Plus, it’s something the two of you can share and look over when you’re fighting to remind yourselves how much you truly care about one another.

5. Have a Drink

Let’s face it, sharing a drink, whether out or at home, can be just as romantic and special as a candlelight dinner if you’re with someone you care about. Sitting down and talking with your significant other can be just as romantic as dinner and flowers. It means a lot if you try to get to know the person you like on a deeper level. Not everyone thinks to delve into the mind of the person that they're interested in, but it shows how much you care and admire your significant other.

This is one of my favorites. If you've been in a relationship for a while, you know how hard it can be to think of new and exciting date nights. Well, here's your perfect solution! Grab some popsicle sticks and write down different date ideas. Some people color code the ends by price or whether it's a stay in date or a going out date. There are plenty of examples online of different ideas to help you code your date nights and you can even find lists of date night ideas to use! When you want to go out, you and your significant other pick a popsicle stick together and do what it prompts you to. Voilá! A date night surprise for both of you!!
