Experience small towns.


Another great and fun thing to do is to get out and experience small towns. Not just drive through them get out and walk around their main drags. Get to feel how they feel as they you walk and talk with them. Experience the small places to eat and the local shopping. Don't under estimate the feels of welcome that a small town has to offer. When picking a place you might look for towns with a college and enjoy their campus also. This is a great way to get to know the lay of the land and maybe find some new places you might want to return to some day. Look for walking trails the weave through the city and get you places out of the way. Then enjoy all the sights hand in hand and heart in heart.

Go out and pick up trash.


We all want a cleaner earth but how many of us venture out of our house to help out. Being green is very romantic and believe me your partner will feel the same way. Suggest that the two of you go out for a hour a week on a walk with the intention of picking up all the trash you see on the way. Make it a challenge to see if you can fill a bag or two bags. Keep track of how much trash you pickup each and every time and make a chart to show how much help you are giving the earth. You could even set a goal of a romantic evening out once you get 50 bags of trash. Nothing is more romantic than saving our home planet so start today and hold hands as you are searching for that trash.

Do your outdoor exercises together.


Chances are that one or the other of you in your relationship does some form of outdoor exercise. Weather it is jogging, cycling, or just walking I hope at least that you are doing so to stay in shape. This activity to me is on of the most romantic ways to get your exercise in if you include your partner in the activity. Jogging and Cycling are a little tougher then Walking, because of the difference in fitness levels. The partner in better shape doesn't want to leave the other partner behind. That would negate the idea of exercising together. Plus, in cycling and jogging it is a littler harder to talk to each other. On the other hand you can push each other and it gives you someone to relax with after the exercise is over. Walks are great and a little less stressful on the body if you are just starting out. The also allow plenty of time to talk without being out of breath. Next time you get a chance invite your partner along on your outdoor workout or today would be a great day for the two of you to start getting fit. Starting together would be a great romantic gesture on both of your parts. It says I care about you and I want to you to be around for a long time.

Experience a new town.


Want to go on a romantic adventure? Well if your funds are limited like most people today, why not just go someplace that you have never been. Pick a near by town you have never been to maybe they might be having a festival or a special event going on that you can check out. You don't have to have an agenda. Just go explore the town, walk around downtown and experience how the community works. Find the local hot spots and pick a local restaurant for lunch to get a better feel for the town. Take your time and spend a good portion of the day taking in the sights, finding parks or trails, take in all you can and bank it for future references. Who knows you might find a place that you would like to move to at a future time. Make sure to take your camera and document your findings, heck make a scrap book of your adventures.

Can you walk the talk?


How often do the two of you just go out for a walk to talk. Getting out of your normal setting and speaking to each other as you stroll along is a great way to stay connected. Find a not so crowded place to walk in your neighborhood and get some exercise while you converse with the person you love. It seems a little easier to converse when you are out in the open as you are not facing each other and you already have your blood pumping from the exercise. Here is a great way to strike up a conversation if you don't have anything to speak about during the walk. Pick something out of the newspaper or find a article in a magazine and then discuss it during your walk. Think up ideas about the subject they can be serious or silly as long as they get the two of you thinking and/or laughing. Stimulating your minds is a great activity to do together now you are adding exercise into the mix so you can't go wrong. Think about it spending time with the person you love, exercising and diving deep into thought what else do you need?

Get some sun.


Want something that will help you romance well get some sun. The sun light is great for your overall mood and it is an important part of life. About this time of year everyone is getting cabin fever and wanting to get outside to soak up some sun. If we are not able to take a vacation during the colder winter months then it has probably been quite some time since you got to enjoy the warm summer sun. The next time you find the sun out make sure to get out in it. Walk to work, or just take a walk and let the good sensations the sun can create start to chip away at that bottled up feeling you have had since winter started.

Zoo it up!


One of the most romantic places to take a date early in your relationship is the zoo. This may seem a little silly but think about it. You get to walk around all the time, with no agenda you don't have to be a the lion cage at seven o'clock for your reservation. You have lots of things that can visually stimulate a conversation, with the animals, obviously. You can also talk about the crowd and the children as well as other things around the zoo. As you walk you have many chances to get away from the crowd and get some one on one time. Just find an exhibit that not many people find interesting and you can sit there and talk about what ever you feel like. Being at the zoo also gives you and your date a feeling of freedom. You are not enclosed like the animals and you are free to roam about the entire facility. You can even find a bench just to sit and enjoy the day. The next time you are wondering where to take a date early in the relationship don't look past the zoo, it might just be the place where the two of you will hit it off.

Festival Time


It's that time of year where festivals are all over the place. This is a great romantic weekend get away that give you time to see some neat things yet allows you to walk and talk the day away. Get up early drive to your festival and enjoy the day. Browsing through the booths and partaking of the local food and flavors it not only romantic, but can also save you big money. Finding treasures or something special to mark your relationship is a great thing to look for. You can spend a little or a lot depending on your mood but the air is clean you can walk hand in hand and enjoy each other company while you weave in and our of the festival.
