The best ways to create and plan a way to a perfect love life
Send your Loved one on a Scavenger Hunt
Send your loved one on a scavenger hunt to be remembered! He or she will visit places that are significant to your relationship, like where you first met, where you first kissed, your first date. You are waiting at each place ahead of him or her to give them the next clue. End the hunt somewhere romantic over a bottle of good wine.
Send your lover on a scavenger hunt throughout your home to find a gift. Start with a clue that will lead them to the kitchen, and then strategically place clues all over your home. Make yourself available for lots of kisses and hugs as they progress. For a playful touch place a gift of an edible oil for massage in the final box and prepare to have lots of romping fun!
Create clues to hunt for a gift according to special events the two of you have enjoyed. For example, "the place we first made love," "the place we last made love," "where we hide on the kids," "where we always kiss in the morning," Your partner will have fun remembering!
Plan & Prepare for a Romantic Meal
Romantic meals will work well any day of the week and aren't only good for Valentine's Day and anniversaries. The key is in the planning and preparation.
Make a Great Impression
Send a handwritten invitation to your loved one rather than inviting them over the phone. Include the date, time, location and any type of dress code. So that he or she is well prepared, forget about surprising them. You want them to be hungry to eat a fabulous dinner.
Choose your Meal
Your best bet is to simply ask. Ask him or her what their favorite foods are, if you don't already know. No point serving them something known to be an aphrodisiac if you don't know that they will like them.
Search the Internet for creative love recipes that includes your lovers tastes. This is your way to their heart, after all! Preparing their favorite meal will be far more meaningful than simply selecting something interesting out of a cook book.
Fancy Schmanzy
Tell your loved one to dress fine! You should dress to knock their socks off, too! When you want to impress with a wonderful, love inspiring meal, be sure to dress the part, just the same. This will nicely set the mood.
If you like the idea of serving a dessert, it works well for you to prepare it earlier the same day. This way, you wont be too busy with preparations once your guest is dining with you.
Check with your loved one to see if he or she prefers alcohol or not. You can buy very nice non-alcoholic wines to serve with dinner.
If your loved one offers to help with the preparations, take plenty of time to fool around! In between simmers and chops and dices, don't forget to sample and nibble on the neck, as well! Setting the mood involves the romance department, too!
Set a Romantic Atmosphere
String very tiny and soft white lights along the fireplace, around a door frame or window frame. This will set a lovely, peaceful mood!
If your romantic dinner is set to take place while it is daytime and you prefer the dark, cover your windows so that no light will come in.
When featuring candles, consider using the non-scented types. This will highlight your savory aromas from your meal.
Mood music playing softly in the background will further enhance a romantic atmosphere. Plenty of really good radio stations found on the FM dial offer commercial free softer jazz and ambient sounds.
Set up your meal in front of a fireplace if possible. The last place you want to eat this romantic meal will be in your kitchen. If you have to, just this time, rearrange the furniture. It will pay off in spades!
Setting a Romantic Table
Use fabric napkins over paper. Be sure they are spic and span clean! For a romantic flair, use flower buds, dried or fresh and after rolling the napkin, attach the bud with a small piece of fancy ribbon.
Make this a no interruptions night. This means no phone, cell phone and most all, no pager.
Use a lace tablecloth and sprinkle it with gold and silver stars and moons for added flair. He or she will notice every last detail!
Fill a decorative flower vase with water and then place an assortment of colorful tea candles to float on top.
Hoping that your dinner will lead you to another room.......prepare it well with scented candles, flower blossoms sprinkled throughout and crisp and clean bed linens just ready to be jumped into!

Movie Night in and out
This is the main stay of any romantic couple, so be sure to not neglect this one. So long as you are watching a good variety of interesting flicks, and cuddling up and smooching as you watch the movie together, you are doing just fine! Plan for some yummy snacks!
Check out to see if there is a drive-in movie theater within driving distance and if there is, go out often!
Spend a Romantic Evening in
Order in something delectable like Mexican, pamper yourselves in a steamy bath together complete with bubbles and candles, take turns massaging each other with scented body oils and of course, make delirious love. If you are not doing this on a regular basis -- why not?
Go House Browsing
The women especially will love this! Take a casual drive, or walk in a neighborhood you consider ideal and dream a little. Together, pick out your favorite dream house. On the weekends you might take this one step further and visit open houses. Just be sure to set the ground rules first, (i.e. this would be my fondest dream with you....)

Every good love life needs a little of this. Catch an independent film or attend a street fair, kick up your heals at a square dance, or sit in on a new book reading.
