Women are accustomed to most men not living up to their fairytale expectations but that doesn't mean you should sit back and let her keep on believing romance is a thing of the past. Sweep your woman off her feet with one of our four elaborate date ideas that she will remember for the rest of her life.

Night at the Theater
Purchase a pair of tickets to a local ballet or opera. Then, pick out the perfect evening dress for your girlfriend. Bring it to her the night before your date but do not tell her where you are going. Just tell her what time you will be picking her up the following day. Show up in a tuxedo the next night and prepare for an evening of romance . . . and gratitude unlike you can imagine!

Southern Mansion Delight
If you live in the south, many Southern mansions can be rented out by the public. Pick up dinner at her favorite restaurant and toss a blanket on the back porch for a night of stargazing she will never forget.

The Planetarium
Start out by purchasing a star for your mate through the Buy a Star program. Then, plan a delightful trip to the planetarium on a clear evening. Here you can show her the star that belongs to her and her alone. Then say something romantic like “If I could afford it, I would buy you all of them.”

Dancing the Night Away
Create a mix CD of her favorite songs. Then, drive down to the lake on a clear night for an evening of dancing beneath the stars. Make sure to take a blanket in case you want to cuddle up! This also works well in the backyard if you have the space and privacy. Set up a tent and bring along food from a local restaurant for dinner a la wild outdoors!
