Ban all Media - take a day and dodge all distractions from the outside world. No TV, no video games and no computers. Light candles and incense around the house and put on some music. This will force you to find a way to entertain each other. Be it board games or a deck of cards or simply getting lost in conversation under a blanket. You might learn something you never knew about him/her.
Photo Album - this will make for some good ol’ reminiscing! To relive good times that you’ve shared together is always a fun and makes for some good hearty laughs. So go through your photos and put an album together. If you don’t have many or any pictures together, make a point to take your camera with you places and add the photos to the album.
Mirror Messages - keep a dry erase marker in your bathroom drawer and leave notes for your boo. Even if you don’t live together it’s a fun way to stay in touch. They could read something as simple as, “Hey sexy! Have a good day, xoxo!” Or it could be something as racy as “I can’t wait to _____ you tonight.” Whatever it is, it will be appreciated and it will also spark good thoughts.
TiVo - Fellas, search through your cable listing and TiVo movies that you think she would like to watch or her favorite movies without her knowing. Ladies, do the same with the action flicks but go the extra mile and be sure to catch those games he mentioned he’s going to miss and the next time he comes over turn it on for him. He’ll love you for it.
Whisper Sweet Nothings - whispering will awaken all senses in no time for both him and her. Your boo with see you inching closer, then catch a whiff of your cologne/perfume, then hear and feel your voice vibrate in their ears if only just to say, “I missed you today.” It’s the little things.
Corny is the New Black - if you can make your lover laugh, you’re golden. Who cares what it is! Fellas, if it’s your falsetto renditions of her favorite songs that keeps her in stitches, do it! Ladies, if it’s your moments of oblivious ignorance to all thing alpha-male, fire away with those quirky questions. Laughter is one of the best cure-alls!
Dance - whether it’s a slow dance in the kitchen every once in a while or an 80′s dance contest. There’s never a bad time to be romantic or silly with your significant other. Chest to chest and cheek to cheek or doing the “running man” to Guy’s “Groove Me” are moments that aren’t easily forgotten.
No Sex - okay, it’s hard. But do you remember your teens when you would make out for hours without even thinking of having sex? If you enjoy kissing your loved one, then make a night of kissing and fondling through fabrics! It’ll be fun! And is brings a sense of innocence to your love.
Take a Walk - walking and talking are synonymous. There’s something to be said about fresh air and clarity. If your lady/man had a bad day, make the suggestion to take a walk! Let him/her let loose in the open as opposed to within four walls. Best not to contain the negative, literally. Afterwards, go home and do one of the above!
Play Chef - the kitchen is the nucleus of most homes where families and friends tend to hang out, talk, eat, drink and be merry. So agree on a dish or a recipe that neither one of you have tried and prepare it together! That way if it’s an epic fail, there’s no one to blame. If nothing else, you’ve tried something new together!
