Things You'll Need:
- Music
- Music player
-
Step 1
Check your equipment to make sure it works (the music player, Lothario) and then get to work. You'll want about 45 songs to be sure you don't have any repeats through the night, and you'll also want to diversify your portfolio to keep it interesting.
Remember that if you play slow songs as you cuddle next to a fire in a beautiful silence, you'll awaken to find the combination put you to sleep. If you've moved onto the making-out portion of the evening, you don't want Jefferson Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" breaking that mood. -
Step 2
Assuming you've got 45 songs, you'll want no more than three of those songs to be joke or parody songs, unless you're both into that kind of thing. While funny songs are delightful, they can be distracting when setting the stage for a night of love.
Although you might not be a fan of your lover's music, throw their songs in there with yours. It will score you points, guaranteed. -
Step 3
Start the playlist out with higher energy, faster tempos and then slow it down to some of the classics of love. Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross or Barry White are all behemoths of love songs.
Make sure your tempos go in cycles, this will facilitate changes in mood and keep your listener eager for more. Go from fast to slow to fast and positive music for two cycles. -
Step 4
To keep your love playlist from just being an oldies playlist, be sure to mix in some songs your other melts for, maybe you even hate the song, but putting it in the rotation sends a powerful message of being a great listener and an unselfish partner. Make sure to avoid overly tired or cliched popular songs, unless you're aiming for those kinds of groans. Add songs that express your true feelings, if you haven't told this person you love them and don't plan to, than avoid songs focused on the word.
