Also, no movie night is complete without snacks, so stock up on popcorn, soda, and all of her favorite candies.

Candlelight Dinner

A candlelight dinner is always so romantic, and it’s even more special if you cook the meal yourself.

You don’t have to be a Michelin star chef to whip up a meal she’ll love. The video above shows you four different dinner ideas that are so romantic and impressive, with step by step instructions for each.

Really not feeling like you’re up to the task of cooking? In a pinch, you can order from her favorite restaurant and plate everything up really nicely. It’s the thought that counts after all.

Cook a Meal Together

An alternative to a home-cooked meal by you is to plan to cook dinner together. (Just be sure to make this plan ahead of time so she doesn’t expect you to do all the cooking!)

Make this super easy by gathering up all the ingredients and recipe ahead of time and laying them out. Grab a bottle of wine or mix up some mocktails, and set the mood with a fun playlist. Then team up and put your meal together.

Even if your dinner doesn’t turn out perfect, you’re going to have a lot of fun and make memories. Plus, you get to have a romantic meal together after all of your hard work!

Have a Board/Card Game Night

This is one of my favorite date night ideas to do with my s/o. We both love to play board games and card games, so we grab some snacks and drinks and gather around our coffee table with one of our faves.

This is a really fun date because you’re guaranteed to laugh and chat for hours. Plus, a little flirty competition is always good!

Need some ideas for what to play? Some of my favorite two-player games include Ticket to Ride, Pandemic (okay, maybe too close to home) and Exploding Kittens. And there’s always Twister if you’re feeling extra flirty.
