We have all seenromantic movies with the candlelight dinners and we've all heard the stories but a candlelight dinner for two really doesn't need to be that cliche. Why not have it at home? Cook together with abottle of wine? That's a whole lot more romantic than a cliche movie moment.
2. Stargazing on the Roof

There is something very oddly relaxing about laying on the roof and looking up at the sky. It makes you feel like a part of something bigger. Why not share that with your honey? Bring out some cocoa and get to talking. You'll be out there all night with the stars shining brightly above you.
3. Go Dancing

Pull your special someone close and sway to somegreat music. This date is romantic because although it doesn't allow A LOT of talking, it does allow some and you'll get to hold each other close all night. What could be more romantic than that?
4. Picnic

This is especially fun if the two of you arenature lovers. When you take your significant other out camping you really begin to understand the saying about the rest of the world falling away. When you're out there all alone with just one another it really makes you appreciate the other person. Even sleeping bags and bulky camping clothes won't stop your budding sense of romance.
7. Movie Night

This is romantic in a very domestic way. What's better than being able to sit with someone you love and be completely and totally relaxed? So snuggle up with a blanket and enjoy your movie night. I usually like picking scary movies since it offers the possibility of some extra snuggling ;)
8. Nighttime Cocoa Stroll

Nighttime strolls are definitely more romantic than daytime strolls because you'll begin to feel like you have the whole world to yourselves. Walk along the streets sipping cocoa and admiring the stars and you'll see for yourself just how romantic it can be.
