Garden Structures Make Perfect Settings For A Romantic Date

By Gardening Editor

An outdoor garden structure can help you create a perfect dating and romantic environment ...

So, you've been on a few casual dates in the past couple of weeks. You really feel like you've hit it off with this other person, and you want to do something special for your next time together. You want to invite your date over to your house, but you're unsure if that's a good idea. After all, a house is just a house, and perhaps inviting that special person to your place is a bit unoriginal. You like this person, and you want to make a good impression. So, what is a good romantic spot that's nice and original? An outdoor garden structure is a good bet for the perfect dating environment.

So how would you go about setting such a date up? It starts pretty much the same as any date. You would want to invite your date over around sunset and have dinner almost ready. While it's sometimes hard to judge the time of cooking, you'll probably want about twenty minutes to spare before the food is ready and done. That'll give you a bit of time to spend with your date but won't leave them waiting and getting hungry.

Ask your date if he or she would like to have a glass of wine before dinner. Bring up the idea of heading outside to seem spontaneous and grab two glasses and the bottle of red wine in passing. Walk to the gazebo, where you have two chairs ready and two unlit candles waiting. You and your date will be surrounded by nature and the cool night air, and the environment starts to take on that romantic allure. You are different than every other date this person has known. You're the knight in shining armor or the mysterious princess. There is nothing more romantic than being outside by candlelight with the sun setting in the background.

After sharing the glass of wine, suggest eating outside and bring plates and such while your date relaxes outdoors. Give the person time to be comfortable and have a few minutes alone to think about just how wonderful you are sharing this experience.

From there, the rest of the date is almost academic. You bring out the meal, which has been no doubt carefully prepared by you to your date's tastes. You'll eat and have nice conversation. Once dinner is done, clean up the plates, and if your date is worthy of you, he or she will offer to help with the clean up. If you've gotten this far, sweetly refuse the offer of help - suggest your date relax for a minute. Then it's dessert time. If you're playing your cards right, your date will be filled with romantic feelings when you bring out one desert and two forks. You can share the dessert as the candles burn low. And, perhaps as you finish, you can lean over to steal a kiss. Ah, the perfect end to a perfect date - all because of a moment outdoors!
