Have you been looking for a way to peel your significant other away from the tivo’d reruns of “Everybody Loves Raymond?” It’s time to get original!

What’s so original about a sunset, you ask?

For starters: Everything.

Every time the sun expires, you are watching an event that has never happened before in the history of the world. Sure, sunsets have occurred countless times, but how many times has the sun trailed off while you were sneaking neck pecks and playing footsies in the sand?

This is a whole and unique event. And depending on where you live, you may not even have to stay up too late to watch a sunset.

So here’s the supplies you need:

• A loved one
• Blanket (optional)
• A few stolen moments

Whisper sweet nothings and hold your loved one close. You are witnessing an event that no two other people in the entire world will experience in the same way at the same moment. You are bold and dwarfed by the awesomeness of the universe.

In the moments that the sun is sinking, pull him or her a little closer and reflect on your incredible luck that you two found one another in this great world.

Now for those who can’t be near a beach, you’re still in luck!

If you live in a city, find some roof access to your building or nearby. You’re likely to find it one way or another. This might be another romantic twist in your plot to snuggle up. Find a place that’s new and exciting and you’ll score extra romance points.

And since you’re not at the beach, why not bring the beach to you?

Bring up a portable boombox and slip in the Echoes of Nature: Ocean Waves CD. The silliness and romanticness of it all will surely make you seem even that much more endearing. 

Now relax, hug your loved one, and let the crashing waves guide you through a sensational sunset.
