Creativity makes the world, and then keeps it going ‘round and ‘round, and a dose of artistic originality can launch your dates into orbit before they have a chance to crash and burn under the force of boredom’s gravity. Plus, originality is attractive, and if you express some of yours to provide a romantic and fun experience for your special someone, they will credit you with having that rare form of sexy intelligence we all gravitate toward in life.

Creativity equals sex appeal on a date, and it usually doesn’t cost much to be innovative; it just takes a little time to think about things and come up with a recipe for success.

combining good eats with good conversation is the perfect way to hit it off on a date.

While on the subject of recipes, why not get creative and combine your date with food? The culinary arts have a long and seductive history, and combining good eats with good conversation is the perfect way to hit it off on a date. In fact, most restaurants and bistros admit that the majority of their weekend evening clientele is couples on candlelit dates.

Picnics are one of the most romantic ways to enjoy time with someone, and they are much less expensive than dining in a restaurant. For that reason, it is possible to splurge on the ingredients, and make your picnic a gourmet meal. Plus, you don’t have to make reservations, worry about getting seated at a table you don’t particularly like, or leave a tip.

Recipe for Success

The recipe for a good picnic is simple and twofold: one part ambience to one part flavor. Once you have mastered the art of one picnic, other variations on the theme are a cinch, and with just a little tweaking of the fundamental ingredients, you can create an entirely different setting, mood, and culinary adventure.

Here are a few ideas regarding location for a romantic picnic date.

Is there a rooftop nearby? Maybe you have a friend who has access to the top of a building where they live or work, or maybe you can scout one out on your own. Even something as boring and mundane as a public parking deck can be transformed into a romantic getaway, if you can find one that is not used at night and has an interesting view of the city or the countryside.

If there is no rooftop, then search out any place with a good high-altitude view: a place to pullover to the side of a mountain road, a spot near a bridge over a waterway, or a convenient hillside will work just fine.
