How to arrange a romantic dinner?

Sunday is over and you and your husband go to bed. The thought of another hectic work week starting tomorrow, another five-day race for survival … just kills. Everything will be as usual: work, work, work, dinner, watching a TV series or two, and then bed. After two years of such a life, you begin to pester your mother with calls with complaints that you and your husband have nothing to even talk about. And this is despite the fact that on the weekend you always try to get your slobber out into nature, to the cinema or to a restaurant.

One of the wonderful ways to diversify the routine of your family life is a romantic evening. It's trite, but it works! Of course, there are such thick-skinned men who only giggle at the lyrical exercises of the spouse. There are others who, for some reason, are mortally afraid of even a hint of romance ("Why are we going to be" pink snot "here?). But such uncles just on the contrary spur us on in our desire to portray a banana paradise in the "Khrushchob", don't they? So supper will be!

Just do not resort to this meal too often, otherwise it will become a routine, and the husband will go to work like a holiday.

Let's start:

Now let's take a closer look at how to arrange a romantic dinner? After all, planning a holiday is like a holiday in itself. And a detailed analysis of romance is not a hindrance.

If during your stay you managed to make a loud-voiced child, then, no matter how much you love him, you will have to remove the child. He knows too much. Well, not quite, of course, to remove, but so, to granny, let's say …

Next, you need to prepare the territory. You can surprise your spouse by draping the room in black silk and placing many candles in the corners (just make sure that the candles are stable, not threatening to inadvertently burn the thin fabric). If there is no money for black silk, then you just need to draw the curtains, remove as many objects reminiscent of everyday life as possible from the field of vision, and not place all the same candles around the room, but place them on the table.

In general, it will be useful for you to remember that candles are a dangerous attribute, and men - for the most part - are awkward and bulky. So calculate the dislocation of the luminaries from considerations of maximum distance from your spouse.

Serving the table is also not showing figurines to sparrows. A properly selected tablecloth and napkins (it is better to use plain ones), by the way, can create a very appropriate mood. But a cheerful cheerful drawing from teapots and pretzels will only contribute to excessive gigginess and will not help intimacy in any way.

So:

You cleared and dressed up the area - now you need to take care of the actual dinner. You should never turn it into a party for two. Remember that dinner is just one of the components of a romantic evening, and perhaps not the main one. Therefore, buckets with Olivier salad, fried chicken legs and mashed potatoes with cutlets will be absolutely inappropriate here. First, the dishes must be unusual and delicious. Secondly, they are light. Thirdly, a man who came home from work tired as a dog and just wants, I apologize, to eat, should please!

It would seem that it is almost impossible to combine all this, but the many years of experience of organizers of romantic evenings suggests: it is possible. The salad can be made light, from vegetables, with vegetable oil instead of mayonnaise, adding a handful of chips and crab sticks to it for piquancy. A good option is a cocktail salad. You will need two glasses or transparent bowls. There you can arrange a Swiss-style cocktail salad. For 2 servings you will need: 50 g of hard cheese, 50 g of pineapples, 40 g of cashews, 20 g of cottage cheese, 40 g of sour cream, salt to taste. Cover the bowl for a salad cocktail with a green leaf of lettuce. We spread carefully in layers (do not mix) finely chopped cheese and pineapple (you can take it from compote), finely chopped nuts. Fill the top with a dressing of cottage cheese pounded with sour cream.

Think well how to arrange a romantic dinner, or you can do without a salad at all - why do we need commonplaces? Pay attention to light, original snacks. For example, make ham balls. You will need 400 g of ham (sausage), 5 boiled eggs and a large onion, mayonnaise. Cut everything into small cubes (onions - preferably the smallest), add a little (just to combine the ingredients) mayonnaise and mold balls about the size of a large apricot. Dip them in finely chopped walnuts, put on a dish and sprinkle with parsley. You can put an olive tree in the middle of such a ball. In general, the imagination from the manufacturer is welcome!

In place of the main dish, let there be fish baked in the oven (or shrimp in dill and sour cream), and stewed eggplant as a side dish. It is possible that you will want to use the following recipe: Flounder with rice and vegetables. You will need to take 200 gr. rice, wash and boil in a large saucepan for 10 minutes. Cut 2 large cucumbers into cubes, put them on rice, season with salt and pepper and, covered with a lid, simmer for ten minutes. Cut 500 g flounder fillets into small slices and put on rice with cucumbers. Season with salt, sprinkle with chopped dill and pour with a mixture of 200 g cream and 2 egg yolks. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp. tablespoons of lemon juice. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. And finally, decorate the piece with eights of tomato and dill.

If, arranging a romantic dinner, you decided to pamper yourself and your friend with a dessert, then you will not find anything easier and more convenient than bananas in coconut flakes (fruits are simply rolled in chips and fried over high heat) or peaches with yogurt (fruits are cut in half, start with yogurt and inside throwing almonds).

It remains to lay out the sliced cheese beautifully on the saucer - better "Maasdam" or another similar one. A bottle of red wine. Everything. When laying the table, try to arrange the maximum number of objects on it, so that later you do not run every minute to the kitchen for matches, a corkscrew, glasses, etc., etc.

An important nuance: when you have this most romantic dinner, please do not turn on the TV. It just seems that you have nothing to talk about: the conversation will flow by itself. Also, do not turn on the light, even to find something or turn the cassette in the tape recorder. It immediately kills the whole mood, and then it is difficult to return it.

by the way

About music - I hope you understand that even your favorite "Disco Crash" is unlikely to fit this evening. Get a couple of cassettes at home for such an occasion: you can buy Toni Braxton or some "Romantic Collection".

Remember to help your partner relax. Psychologists have noticed: men who have to fight for life in the service all day, make responsible decisions and deal with urgent matters, tend to choose more passive roles in their sexual fantasies. Simply put, to be not a leader, but a follower. This, of course, does not mean that you have to pretend to be the autocratic leader of the process and intensely command the parade. Your task is to create an atmosphere in which your loved one would feel absolutely calm, relaxed and safe; so that he does not have to defend his position and fight for a place in the sun. This is more than enough for him at work!

You've had a romantic dinner and it's coming to an end. In no case do not rush to wash the dishes in the kitchen, eager to put everything in order so that "your soul does not hang over your head." This is not the case. Husband's pedantry is also best nipped in the bud. All you have to do is to pull the covers off the bed with a spectacular gesture, and then … well, it's not for me to teach you, everyone has their own tricks. Plus, I'm sure during dinner you did not forget to periodically show your partner a lace strip of stockings. By the way, about clothes. Neither a robe nor an overly evening gown is suitable. You need to wear something simple that could be easily removed, but at the same time, so that it is not a floral print sarafan. For example, a black wrap skirt and an unpretentious blouse will do.

Anyway, I see you are already in bed. Therefore, further it is up to you, and I tactfully retire, having previously warned about one more important point. It may sound strange, but while lying in bed next to your loved one, try not to think about intercourse at all. After all, the main thing in intimacy is not actually copulation, but precisely intimacy: tenderness, trust, joy of communication, the realization that a loved one is next to you. And also - the confidence that all problems are solvable when you are together. Forget about what happened before and don't wonder what lies ahead: just enjoy the present moment, here and now. Rest in the arms of your beloved: you and him have nowhere to rush, you have a lot of time for everything, everything, everything. Caress each other like the first time - reexamining the body of your loved one. Caress yourself - but not in order to "turn on" him, and not in order to be sure to bring yourself to orgasm, but simply because it is pleasant. Do whatever you and him like - and it will definitely help you both tune in to the right wave. Well, everything else is in your hands.
