Make Dates Extra Special With These Personalized Ideas

Wow him or her with something out-of-the-box, like star-gazing in a graveyard or a weekend trip to somewhere unconventional. Side note: completing a 1,000-piece romantic puzzle in your SO's honor is recommended, though taxing.

If your date's a little anti-dates, cook his or her favorite meal and binge-watch Netflix while sipping wine. Pretty much a no-fail.

Go to an exercise class together. Climb a mountain (or a rock, if you're feeling less ambitious). Camp in the woods. Take a hike. Run a marathon. Play Dance Dance Revolution (what? That game is STILL fire).

One word: cuddle. Cuddle hard and long into the night. Soft music in the background is a plus. If you'd rather go out, see a lighthearted rom-com at the theater. Be sure to lift the arm-rests up so that, yes, you can hold your partner close.

So you've got a romantic on your hands. Go big or go home, eh? See the opera. Go ice-skating. Swing dance at a jazz restaurant. Toast marshmallows over the fireplace. Feel free to combine.

Easy — get your SO a cat. They're basically spirit animals.
