If you were to plan a romantic evening that did not include sex, what would it be like?
From “If 3…Questions for the Game of Love” by Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell

BigBlueBall.com ModeratorInteresting question…there are so many ways to create a romantic mood. Let me start by thinking of my favorite ingredients:
- A special person, whose hand you love to hold in your own
- A warm summer evening, slight breeze blowing
- Walking in the twilight, and watching the sunset
- Candlelight
- A bottle of wine
- Maybe a jacuzzi to soak in…under the stars
- oh yeah…and no kids!
Stir well and serve!
Hot tub.
Candle lit room.
Soft music.
Bottle of wine.
Flower petals floating on the surface.
Many hours of free time to enjoy the company of that special person.
Fragrant massage oils.Ahhhh .. Romance!! That and the opposable thumb separate us from the rest of the animals. Hot water, cold wine and music are wonderful, but not critical.
Romance can be as simple as a sofa, a good movie, and popcorn with extra salt and butter..(All the better to lick off their fingers!) It is the mood of the couple, more than the ambience of the situation. To sit together, her right side of body, dissolving into his left, head on shoulder, hands held gently, fingers silently tracing knuckles and wrists and the valleys between each finger. A shared laugh, a sigh, and a sideways glance, just to reassure yourself, that he/ she is real.. and yours.
Sweat pants, or silk blouse, expensive perfume, or… ivory soap, candle light or fluorescent, matter only incrementally. Romance is in the heart. And the heart has a knack for bathing each couple in the perfect light, air-brushing away blemishes, bumpy noses, love handles, and receding hair lines.making soda taste like champagne, and slathering you both in pheremones, that cause your upper lip to sweat, your brain to buzz and your heart to pound. Romance is a feeling, that transforms us, makes us beautiful, and graceful and interesting, and sexy and confident, and …. Ahhhhhhhh.. Romance!!
Sandi, beautifully put.
I have 2 opposable thumbs. a Jacuzzi and a bucket of popcorn.
A bumpy nose and 2 bottles of soda.
I’m free on most evenings. 😀Soooooooo.. I hear that Australia is very pretty in the Winter, spring, summer and fall..
A gazillion miles and a big pond? What’s that when there’s the promise of popcorn and hot jets of water?
You are a doll.. Mwaaah!
FOR A ROMANTIC EVENING I WOULD START OFF WITH A CANDLE LIT DINNER AT A NICE RESTAURANT,THEN MY DATE AND I WOULD PROBABLY GO SEE A MOVIE HOLDING HANDS,THEN AFTERWARDS COME HOME AND MAKE LOVE ON A BED OF NON THORNY ROSES ALL NIGHT LONG
MY DATE AND I WOULD HAVE A NICE CANDLE LIT DINNER,MAYBE SEE A MOVIE,TAKE A WALK HAND IN HAND, AND CUDDLE AFTER WE GOT HOME IN FRONT OF THE TV:)
Ahhhhh that shadow we call Romance. That emotion or experience that we seldom get in our day to day lives. Everyones different so heres a couple of my ideas of a romantic night….
Forget the kids for one single night, and give me twilights stars
Forget the candles, give the full moon to see my loves eyes
Forget the food, give me my mans full lips to sup upon
Forget the bathtub, give me deep blue water in which to bathe him
Forget the bed, let me lay with him on a blanket of warm sand, to have the nights sky as our canopy
Forget the music piping through the radio, let me sing to him my sirens song
Forget words that don’t need to be said, let me kiss him as passionately as I did when we first metOr my romantic date could be something like this too ……(Ahem, with the “right” man of course……)
KIDS? – Whose? Mine or his?
PLACE – Now does that really matter when your with the one you THINK you love?
LIGHTS – You know those cheesy red tavern ones? …..Or the ones accompanied by sirens?
FOOD Meat AND potatoes (IF you catch my drift) Cut through the veggies and get to the real stuff.
MUSIC – Any (My man singing off key suits)Note: There is one single thing these both have in common – Neither require talking.
My husband…a bag of pop corn (extra butter)…soda…fuzzy slippers…flannel shirt…and backgammon. 🙂
When you’re up to your nose, keep your mouth shut.
A romantic evening without sex…mmmmm…Possable?…Oh yes…I loved what everyone has said about this about there idea of a romantic evening. And I love all of those things…so I will just add the naughty and nice of my idea of a romantic evening.
1. Cuddled up to someone special watching a good movie OR…
Playing a game of strip poker…hehehe (no touching)2. Together eating a nice candle light dinner OR…
putting a piece of food in your mouth and having him take it from your lips… (Strawberries work well for this)3. Going for a nice walk on a summer night OR…
Skinning dipping in the pool, beach, lake, or pond… (just about any place privite will do)4. Going out and dancing with that special person OR…
giving him a privite showing… (Striping clothes off slowly required)5. Laying on a bareskin rug in front of a crackling fire sipping wine OR…Laying nude wrapped IN a bareskin rug talking and laughing in front of a crackling fire…(bareskin rug not required).
6. Sitting and listening to your favorite music holding hands talking OR…refer to number 4 and apply…hehehe
7. Last but not least…Just enjoy your time with one another. Sometimes words are not needed BUT…It is nice to hear sweet things and to tell someone how you feel about them…Lonelieness is deafining, make sure that person knows without a doubt that he or she he so very special…Talk, laugh, be playful, just enjoy those special times with that person…

I agree wiv everything seds here, especially just being with The one that your Love.
For me i would say that just sitting up all nite long talking about everything that you can just getting to know about that special person. I would say that theres nothing more romantic than being able to just talk to that person and being able to tell them everything they want to know and more.
And even if this does lead to other things then thats fine but its not escential. I also find that giving my special women a message is romatic, along with cooking a 3 course candle lit meal for her.
Unofrtunately ive just broken up wiv my Girlfriend who i was very much in love with, but she cheated onme with one of my mates and now i dont even want to be around her. So if u love some one try to keep hold of them as long as you can cos if you do lose them you’ll still cherish the good moments that you ad with them
we would be alone , not a word would be nessessary between us, just being together sharing thoughts with our eyes , maybe some wine, and listening to some soft music, exchanging smiles……untill the wee hours of the morning, then together we would find our way to our bed, and just lay side by side .only sound we hear is the beating of our own hearts , as we hold eachother through the night as we drift off to sleep wrapped up in eachothers arms.
