As a member of the male fraternity, let me tell you, being a guy isn't always about being rough or tough. At times we do like it when our girlfriends go the extra mile and do something for us that is straight out of a Mills and Boon. Also, unlike the opposite sex, we aren't exactly high maintenance. Therefore, it doesn't usually take a superhuman effort to please us or melt our hearts. Simplicity, genuineness and a bit of creativity can work wonders. In fact, the more creative the girl's gesture, the more it works for us. And this applies to a lot of things - dating, date ideas, proposals, and in general, romance. So using this as a guideline, here are a few suggestions for your consideration.

Let's start with a movie date. But no, not at the same old multiplex. It's time to do something different. You can have it at the nearest drive-in theater instead. Let it be a surprise for him. Plan it well in advance. Stock your car with some food, popcorn, cola and a nice warm blanket. Then, pick him up from his home, and when he asks you where it is that you're going, keep mum. Let him discover it for himself. I assure you, a drive-in movie experience under the starlit sky, amidst the cool night breeze, can be a truly lovely romantic date idea for him indeed.

Keeping in line with the surprise element, plan a surprise 'couple's day out' for the two of you. You can pack a nice picnic lunch and head out into the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can sit under the shade of a mango tree, on the banks of a nearby river, or at the edge of a clear blue lake, and spend some quality time with each other. Alternatively, if your guy has an adventurous streak to his personality, consider a day of river rafting, para-sailing, or something similar. He'll be over the moon, that's for sure!

If you reside by the beach, then this one's for you girl! Freak out for a whole day at the beach with your guy. Enjoy the sun, sand and the surf. Zoom around on those jet skis, enjoy a couple of salty ocean dips courtesy those fun banana boat rides, and if you're up for it, go snorkeling! Then, when you think you need a breather, chill out with a cool drink in a comfortable hammock under the shade of a coconut tree. Post siesta, enjoy another nice dip in the ocean, followed by a nice walk around sunset. Finally, top it off with a lovely candlelit dinner at a beach-side shack. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, if it happens to be a dull, rainy day and you end up being stuck indoors, do not fret. There's lots of stuff you can do indoors. Call him over to your place (or vice-versa). Make some hot chocolate, and a bowl of hot, steamy noodles (or some caramel popcorn), and snuggle up on the couch to watch a lighthearted romantic flick. Additionally, if both of you have a sweet tooth, you could also try your hand at baking a cake, or some chocolate chip cookies.
Well, these were a few suggestions, and quite romantic ones at that. Make his day by trying any one of the above-mentioned ideas. He'd be blown away, believe me. Enjoy and have a nice time!
