Romantic Date Ideas for Him

Everyone likes to feel special.

Many men claim that they aren't romantic, don't need to be swept off their feet and that their needs are simple. In spite of these claims, the truth is that everyone appreciates a special gesture created and performed especially for them as this is the root of romance. Show your man how special he is by designing a special date for him.

Adventuring

Help him fulfill one of his dreams.

Perhaps you've heard him say many times that he has always wanted to go whitewater rafting, or maybe he's talked about skiing, skydiving, kayaking, hiking or climbing. Find out what he's always dreamed about doing but has never done, and act on it. Choose one of the activities that is available nearby, plan a day to actually do it and arrange everything from start to finish. Take him out to dinner afterward so you can relive the amazing experience you had together. He'll never forget it.

Camping at Home

Make s'mores in the fireplace.

Set up a tent in your backyard. If you don't have a yard or the weather is terrible, set it up indoors. A few sheets and clothespins can do the trick if you don't own a tent. Grill hot dogs or hamburgers, gaze at the stars while lying on a blanket and make s'mores if you can set up a campfire. Spoil him with his favorite drinks and a massage under the moonlight.

Comedy Club

Show off your sense of humor.

Enjoy an evening at the local comedy club. Don't be surprised if either of you are asked by the comedian to be a part of the evening's routine. There's nothing like laughing together to bring you a lot closer.

First Date Fantasy

Show him he's irresistible.

If you've been together for quite a while, it's fun to relive meeting for the first time. Give him the time and location of a place to go, such as a club or bar where people mingle and meet. Dress up in the style that you know fascinates him the most, and arrive at the location separately from him. Catch his eye from across the room and stare uninhibitedly. Approach him as if it's the first time you've ever met and invite him to sit and have a drink with you or to dance with you. Show him that if you'd never met until now, you'd choose him all over again.

Arcade Afternoon

The winner takes all.

Spend an afternoon and a bucket of quarters at the video game arcade. If you have competitive spirits, try every game at least once and track who wins the most games; the winner gets a reward.
