It’s as simple as a blanket, a bottle of wine, and some cheese and charcuterie. Find a quaint park in your city or the next city over and enjoy the simple things in life: a glass of wine under the shade of the trees with your significant other. Get there a couple hours before sunset for optimal summer weather and to catch the cotton candy hues of the sky as the sun sets.

Sure, every couple has their go-to local restaurant that they’ve grown to love. That being said, it’s important to switch things up and treat yourselves to occasional fine dining. Go to a trendy new restaurant in the city for a romantic dinner. Indulge in each other’s company and cheers to your love for one another. Gentleman, to make this date extra special, surprise your significant other with a pair of ruby earrings that will make this a night to remember for the rest of your lives!

Sometimes the stresses of everyday life leave little time for a date that you have to devote hours to, but after a while this can really take a toll on a relationship. It’s crucial to make time to spend with one another, even if it’s just for half an hour. Park your car on the nicest street in town and take a relaxing 30-minute stroll in the warm evening air. Not only will this give you quality time spent together, but it will also help ease the stress. Finish the evening with a nightcap, whether it’s a warm cup of tea or a glass of your favorite Merlot.

#4. Spontaneous 1-Night Trip to a Local Getawayimage8

Who doesn’t love a romantic getaway? Take initiative, jump in the car, and drive to a close by destination for a spontaneous trip. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city to spend a romantic night together hanging out by the pool, cuddling in a posh hotel room, and maybe even getting a massage together. To show your significant other how much they mean to you, entertain the idea of giving the gift of a diamond pendant. After all, there is nothing a woman loves more than diamonds (and rooftop pools)!

#5. An Afternoon at the Beach

Summer is synonymous with the beach. Grab a couple of beach towels and spend your whole day together lounging on the warm sands of your favorite beach. To make this beach trip a little more special, take a few minutes to put together a playlist with each of your favorite songs that you can play on your phone or a portable speaker. Don’t forget your sunglasses and the sunscreen!
