Step 1
Clean your apartment or house. Clutter may be fine when you are by yourself, but it quickly cuts into the romance factor when you are trying to impress.
-
Step 2
Know your partner's likes and dislikes. Carnivore or vegetarian? Food allergies? These are important considerations as you plan your menu.
-
Step 3
Find recipes online or in cookbooks. When you know what is on the menu, make a list of all the ingredients you'll need to make it. Also, check your cooking equipment--do you have the right materials?
-
Step 4
Do your food shopping for all those ingredients you do not have on hand. Make sure you bring your shopping list! (Adding a few candles and flowers to the list will help your romantic setting.)
-
Step 5
Organize your ingredients and cooking materials. When you are done preparing something, get the mixing bowl or pot or pan out of the way to avoid a cluttered workspace.
-
Step 6
Closely follow the recipes you chose. This is not the time to improvise.
-
Step 7
As your dinner is cooking, set the table and arrange your dining space for maximum romantic effect.
-
Step 8
Change into your romantic dinner outfit, and have a great evening!

This is great advice. Ladies like men who cook. I've tested it, and it works.
