    How to Make a Romantic Dinner for Two

    Guys, do you have a special woman in your
    life? Well its now your turn to show how
    much you care about her. One way to make her
    feel special is to make her dinner. It is
    always said that a way to get to a mans
    heart is through his stomach, well the same
    works for women. We have been feeding you for
    so long, now its time for us to eat. Its
    really easy to make a dinner for the both of
    you to enjoy. By making a homemade meal shows
    that you took time to plan the meal and took
    time to make it, so no take out. If you just
    follow these very easy instructions, your
    girlfriend or wife will feel that they are
    truly special to you. Here are a few things
    that I recommend that you get: meal
    ingredients (duh), drinks (If you are allowed
    to drink alcohol go for it; if not I suggest
    some kool-aid, water, soda or something of
    that nature), flowers, candles (non scented),
    very good music (nothing too boring or too
    uppity), and time (enough time to cook and
    get dressed).
    If you are going to make dinner for the lady
    in your life, I suggest that you make
    something that she likes. Find out her
    favorite foods or meal and try to put your
    own spin on it. If she has more than one,
    find the simplest one, especially for your
    first time cooking. If she is not picky about
    her food, then make something like a baked or
    grilled chicken with steam vegetables, very
    simple but delicious. Yes it is ok to use a
    few frozen ingredients, but do not go in the
    frozen food section and pick a frozen dinner
    out and try to past that off as your home
    cooked meal. She will not be impressed. This
    will not send the message that you want it
    to. Carefully follow the instructions in the
    recipe you have choosing. If it is your first
    time cooking something, you might want to
    have a friend come over and help you with the
    cooking part, if you need it. Make sure they
    leave before your lady comes home so that you
    may take all the credit until later on. If
    you decide to do a dessert, then you should
    also think about doing something simple and
    fun like strawberry cheesecake or go out for
    her favorite ice cream. You also consider
    going out for desert or you can buy a store
    made one. She will already appreciate the
    dinner that you made for her so the desert is
    just to make the meal complete.
    While you are cooking, with caution, (this
    means actually paying attention to the food),
    set the table. You could use a table cloth,
    do not use plastic please, if you choose to.
    Place the candles where you would like on the
    table, I suggest no more than two. You could
    also place candles around the house as well.
    The candles should not be scented because the
    scent from the candles will take away from
    the smell of the food. The table setting does
    not have to be all about etiquette, but make
    it look nice. Make sure you start the music
    too so that you could get into the mood as
    well. Remember not to choose any type of
    music that is too slow or too uppity. You
    want something relaxing but with a good beat
    to it. Make sure that you make yourself look
    presentable as well. When your lady comes
    into the house, just stand in the kitchen so
    that she will be surprised. Take all her
    stuff, put it away, and help her in her seat.
    Slowly serve the meal while you tell her what
    you have made. Just sit back and enjoy the
    smile on her face.
    Making a dinner for two is simple and can be
    fun. These are just the few hints on How to
    Make a Romantic Dinner for Two. This simple
    gesture shows your lady how much you really
    care about her. These instructions can also
    apply to first dates, females or anybody that
    really wants to show someone in their life
    that they are special to them. Making dinner
    for someone does not only show that you can
    make a meal or follow instruction, but also
    that you can express your love by being
    creative.

    Agreed 100% on the candles! It's a GREAT mood-setter. Also, some tips on the actual cooking:

    - Keep it SIMPLE. The last thing you want to do is try to overly impress your lady by cooking a souffle but ending up with a wad of dough.

    - Keep it HEALTHY. No girl wants to have a romantic dinner with drowned in a sea of vegetable oil. A simple grilled veggie appetizer, roasted chicken w/ thyme and garlic, and mixed greens with a vinaigrette is perfect. Plus it keeps your lady looking great in that nice dress she's wearing

    - Keep it FUN. Your lady will probably remember the food, but she'll DEFINITELY remember the conversation, so just relax and have fun with it!

    Good luck guys!

    Mizz thanks for posting this. My husband is a chef, working as a Pastry Chef for a few years because I wanted him home for dinner. Having his hands in food all day, the last thing he wants to do is cook for me when he gets home. As I work at home it's not really problem. But on the couple of occasions I have had a particularly trying day, he has surprised me by going all out and sending the kids to a friends or even just the family room to eat. Food somehow tastes better when prepared especially for you by the man in your life. Its not usually the most romantic in the sense of flowers and chocolate as I usually rant about the bad day, but actions always spoke louder than gifts to me. I hope the tips you wrote give a couple hubbie's the hint.
