Bonjour Romancers,

We are back with loads of ideas to help you woo the person of your dreams or keep the romance alive in long term relationships.

A romantic dinner for two can be lovely; especially by candlelight with long stemmed flutes of champagne.  This type of dinner can be expensive to go out to or difficult to create on your own at home–and sometimes it seems a little too much for just wanting to spend some nice time together.

**Keep in mind, taking your significant other out for surprise fancy dinner is very romantic, especially if it is a “just because” reason.

Something you and your lovely partner can do together that doesn’t require as much dressing up as the romantic dinner for two on the town is to make dessert together.

After your typical (and maybe even boring) meal together you can nonchalantly pull the hiding ingredients from the refrigerator.  Begin stirring up your chocolate syrup and enticing your partners sweet tooth with smells of the liquid chocolate.

Chocolate covered strawberries are decadent.  Buy some big, fat ripe strawberries from your local market, wash them up and let them dry.  Dip them into your hot pan of chocolate and watch the chocolate goodness thicken into mouthwatering dessert.

This romantic date idea can be used for those of you looking to spice up one night in a row of mundane nights.  You can do this for first dates too!

Aslo, make sure you have other foods that go well with chocolate (what doesn’t go well with chocolate!)

Although I love chocolate strawberries, your date could have a strawberry allergy.  Be equipped with pretzels, raspberries, marshmallows and banana.  Chocolate covered ANYTHING is delicious!
