Have you ever wanted to impress someone with an unforgettable date, only to fall short? Well, don't sweat it. 95% of dates are easily forgotten, and the memorable one's are often achieved by accident. Here are some tips for designing a date to remember. nnnThe most romantic date ideas are the ones that excite the senses most effectively. When your date becomes excited in this way, you will seem more attractive because your date will be buzzing with joy, and you will be associated with this heightened reality. Lets go over a typical date, and talk about how to heighten senses to your advantage.nnnnnDinnernnnWhen you take a date out to dinner, go to a place that has interesting food and good wine. Order many small dishes instead of just getting two large entrees. Then, share each others food in order to experience the largest amount of unique tastes. Accompany this with good wine or beer that complements the food well. The alcohol will also help to prime the senses.nnnnnMusicnnnConsider going to a jazz club, or a lounge that will have good music. Music is one of the most important elements in setting a mood. So, depending on the temperament of you and your date, pick a place that will complement the way you feel, yet transport you to an elevated state of being.nnnViewsnnnI'm not sure what it is about sweeping views, but they excite the senses, and are very romantic. Try incorporating a good view into your date. If you live in a city, go to the top of a building that has a bar, and enjoy the view over drinks. The height implies danger, and as we know from every Harris Ford movie, danger makes you seem more attractive. I mean, who would actually be attracted to Harris Ford otherwise? nnnYou know that tingly feeling you get in your fingers when you're up really high? That's how you want your date to feel, and that feeling will be associated with you.nnnnnFirennnIf you can include some sort of fire in your date, you should. Even if it's just real candles at the restaurant, fire is very romantic. Sort of like heights, fire turns on all of our senses. This developed from millions of years of humans getting burned, and realizing that fire is pretty much a magic thing.nnnFireplaces, fireworks, bonfires... See if any of these can be included in the itinerary of the date.nnnnnTouchnnnLast, but not least, use touch to your advantage. Grab your date's hand early on in the date, and periodically massage the palm and finger tips throughout the date. Or, find times to massage your date's scalp. Everybody yearns for human contact. Fulfill this desire in subtle ways throughout the date, and the whole affair will become more romantic. nnnnnnnIf you're smart about it, you can benefit from heightening the senses of your date. Your date will be lifted from the usual grind of life, transported to a world where everything is more vibrant, where everything seems more real. And, you will be the one associated with this new vibrant existence. Your date will want to return to you, without knowing exactly why.nnnOut of all the romantic date ideas you can think of, pick the one that will allow you and your date to transported to a heightened reality. This heightened reality is where romance is born, and it's where you can find it.n
