Forget about the hustle and bustle of getting dressed up, hiring a sitter and paying a sky-high tab for a fancy dinner out with your special someone. Having a romantic dinner at home is a great way to save money, eat what you like and make your way into his heart via his stomach, as the old saying goes. It doesn't have to be any old meal - why not cook up his favorite meal? And if you're not sure what to cook, then go with a few old standbys, like roast chicken or pot roast - something that'll really stick to his ribs. Fondue is always a fun, sexy dish to serve up. Melt cheese and dip breads, veggies and whatever you like. For dessert try chocolate-dipped fruit! If you have no idea how to get around the kitchen, then there's no shame in ordering his favorite dish from a restaurant and picking it up. You can plate it beautifully once you get home on that china you save "for special occasions" that, in reality, you never use. Consider a change of venue for your special dinner. Instead of eating at your sticky old kitchen table, move things into the dining room. No dining room? No problem. Fashion a coffee table into a Japanese-style eating experience complete with comfy sitting pillows - which may come in handy after dinner! Use those great placemats you save for the grownups and serve a grownup beverage. Pick a wine the two of you have never tried before, or go all out with the tried-and-true sparkling wine or champagne. Don't forget the candles and romantic music. After dinner, he'll be all yours!
