You can serve some wine with the food and play pleasant music in the background to create a romantic mood while eating.

Why do I need a candle?

Community Answer

Well, you don't really need a candle. It's just mood lighting. It makes the atmosphere more intimate.

Question

How can I tell if someone liked the dinner I made them?

Community Answer

If they compliment the food and eat all of it, they probably liked it. Of course, there's no way to know for sure, but even if they didn't absolutely love it, they definitely appreciated the gesture.

Question

How do I choose a plate for a dinner date?

Community Answer

Keep it as simple as possible. Use china of shades between white to tan if you are decorating your table with rose. Red and white are the best colors for an romantic evening.

Question

What kind of food should I prepare for a surprise romantic dinner for my parents?

Community Answer

Think of something the ‘chef’ in the house makes often that everybody loves. Obviously remember what your parents like and dislike. maybe recall an old family story about a dinner your parents had where they loved the meal. For me, spaghetti and meatballs are a romantic favorite for my parents.

Question

I'm organizing a surprise dinner for a vegetarian and for someone who eats meat but not fish. What is a good idea for a meal?

Skylar Wilson

Community Answer

Pasta is a good choice. Find out what pasta dish is their favorite, and prepare one vegetarian sauce and one meat sauce.

Question

Can you use fake flowers or plants?

Community Answer

Flowers and plants are great, even if they are fake, but real ones are more romantic. They can set a very nice mood.
