In my town there is a place called the Pavillion, which is an area with pillars/flowers/etc in the middle of a riverfront park. If the date is going well, I will take her there after sunset and sit with her. Hard to describe the area.... but it is beautiful.
I find art museums to be very romantic places to be. A romantic date to me would be long, not rushed with quality conversations and surrounded by tranquil beauty. I don't find hotels romantic, but it's nice to end up there. I don't find movies romantic as one can't talk to each other at them. But going to an opera might be romantic if it's one of those Italian love story operas.
I am a firm believer that the best things in life are free. Put a blanket in the yard, take a chilled bottle of bubbly out there and keep it on ice in a pail - doesn't have to be anything fancy. Gaze into the stars from the comfort of your back yard or back patio. Have very few if any lights on and enjoy good wine, good conversation, a perfect star gazing night and two points from your date who will think of you as being ever so romantic.
What do you deem the "best" place to take a date if you want to be romantic?
Is this like a first date - or someone you've dated for a while? Not really sure a hotel would be a good idea for a first date - unless she really, really liked you ... a lot!
A lighthouse overlooking a tranquil New England beach.
A ballet.
A thousand miles from nowhere, sprawled out in the back of a pick up looking up at the night sky, sharing all of your dreams and insecurities, opening up like you never have with anyone else before, and thanking God for bringing someone so special into your life.
A brookside picnic in the spring.
A field of bluebonnets
A porch on a house on a hill, overlooking the surrounding countryside.
Appalachia in the fall, when the leaves turn every shade of red, yellow, orange, brown, and gold imaginable.
Sitting around the fire, enjoying hot cider on a cold Rocky Mountain winter evening.
Snuggled up in bed, listening to the sound of the rain on a tin roof.
Watching the sunset from the Chisos Mountains of West Texas, with ole Mexico just to the south.
Yeah, I'm a romantic dreamer. Wonder if there are any women who appreciate this kind of stuff?
I voted resturant. Great conversation can lead to many things!
Edit: And by resturant, I'm not talkin' Denny's or anything like that. I'm talkin' a nice, quiet, possibly a tad expensive (if not down right expensive) place.
But I may be a little odd. I went on a date once where we went to a street that is in the flight path for planes. As the planes are landing (big jets, not little prop/ commuter planes), they pass over this street and you can swear your gonna get hit by a plane wheel they're so low. As the planes would come in, they' were SO loud that we would scream our lungs out and no matter how loud you screamed, you couldn't hear yourself. It was awesome! For some reason, it's been a date that's stuck with me for over 10 years. One of the all time best!
