4. Visit an art exhibition if the subject matter appeals to both of you.

5. Browse through shops that have merchandise you can't possibly afford. Dreaming done by two can be very romantic.

6. Take a break, buy ice cream and really taste it, like little kids do.

7. Go to the first daily showing of that blockbuster that's been sold out; chances are the theater will be nearly empty.

8. Visit a unisex day spa for some well-deserved pampering before dinner.
