Dr. Romance’s Creative and Romantic Date Nights

by Good Clean Love Staff September 27, 2011

by Tina Tessina

1. You can repeat some of the things you did when you were first dating: go back to the first place you met, watch a DVD (complete with popcorn) of the first movie you saw together, go out for lunch at the little café near your old job, or wander through the park.

2. Try water. There’s something very soothing and seductive about water.  Do a tour of fancy fountains where you live, and if you can find a restaurant with a water feature, go there.  Or, order a catered picnic and eat it during a ferry ride, or enjoy it on a warm evening at the beach, complete with wine.  Here in Southern California, we have gondola rides, complete with a singing gondolier, and an optional repast.  You can get a catered lunch from a fancy caterer or from your local hamburger joint.

3. If your town attracts tourists, do what you’d do if you were a tourist there.  See a show, have dinner in a nice hotel with cocktails afterward in the piano bar, or see the attractions, museums, the aquarium, open house night at the art galleries, dinner at a sidewalk café.  If there’s a great outdoor site: a ski lift (scenic even in summer)  a botanical garden, a beautiful lake or a zoo, spend some time there.  Some towns even still have drive-in movies — the most romantic date ever!

4. Look for local talent: Search out the small theaters; college events and speakers, even high school plays and sports.  The energy in these less-commercial places will inspire you and give you a lot to talk about.

5.  Ask your friends: canvass your friends to find their favorite things to do, an try those.  If friends like ice hockey, and you’ve never seen it, try going with them so they can explain it to you.  If they have a fave restaurant, or hideaway, try that.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, here is an idea that not only promises to make the holiday more enjoyable, but also has the potential to benefit your relationship for months afterward: working with the contradictions in your heart by finding balance and even synergy between seemingly opposing emotions.

3 Ways to Not Ruin Valentine’s Day

by Wendy Strgar January 24, 2019

Most people are unaware that Valentine’s Day is one of the biggest break-up holidays of the year. It seems like an oxymoron that the holiday of love would be the one that often breaks the camel’s back, but that’s what happens when we expect a single day to make up for the benign neglect that our relationships are too often steeping in.

3 Ways to Impact Your Intimate Life

by Wendy Strgar January 10, 2019

I was having lunch with one of the students from my old positivity club the other day when he surprised me by telling me that what means the most to him now is learning how to feel. I asked him what he meant, and he said, “I used to think my feelings. I thought I was ‘sad’ or ‘angry’, but it never quite registered in my body. Now, I know I am feeling when it happens in my gut or my chest. When I feel most alive is when I can’t not feel what is happening.”
