    Something meaningful to your partner, not just a fancy place (those are nice too).

    Close by our house is a little pho place that my wife loves. She hates the cold weather, and if it’s an especially chilly day she’s usually feeling “meh” but if I say “let’s go get warm soup belly” her mood instantly changes and I think that’s romantic :)

    I’m alright just hanging out in his or her house. Going places is nice, but you shouldn’t go somewhere to have a nice time just because it’s a status symbol to consider that date-like. A lot of people treat outings to venues and attractions like you’re recharging the batteries on your relationship, and to me that comes off as a red flag because then the dynamic isn’t flowing and is more like something that consciously must be maintained.

    I like dinner out and a walk in the city, to a bar for one drink.

    Home doesn’t work because it’s infested with kids and I would end up cooking the dinner. (I absolutely love family supper but it’s not romantic).

    If capital D Date is not a requirement, most romantic is waking up together and doing it again, absolutely.

    Any time that you spend with someone close to you can be romantic.

    Some of the most memorable and romantic times I’ve had were just going for strolls, talking openly, and appreciating each other.
