Romantic Date Planner
First things first, you'll want to make sure you have your meal prepared in
advance, so you are not scrambling around wasting valuable time you could
spend with your special man. Select a table that is small if possible , so that you
are closer to each other. Break out your best
china and crystalware.  You'll also
want a fine tablecloth, preferably light peach or rose colored.

Candles and flowers are a must, they are a great accent to look at, and also
evoke romantic aromas. You don't want to use highly scented candles or flowers
however. You do not want them to cover up the aroma of the food. Dim the lights
a bit to set the mood.

If you have a fireplace, you may want to think about setting your table up next to
it, with a warm glowing fire. Nothing adds ambiance better than a beautiful
blazing fire. Make sure your phone is on vibrate if possible, and the only
distracting noise should be a light romantic music in the background.

Don't forget to have the champagne chilled and ready to pop. Also have any
intimate supplies ( you know what we are talking about) you may need for later
stocked and easy to reach.



Now onto the most important part of the evening. What to serve. We think that
the power of aphrodisiacs should not be ignored. Here is a list of common
aphrodisiacs and some recipes with each.
Alcohol- The most common aphrodisiac, which we have all used before, it lowers
inhibitions and increases confidence. For this we suggest a fine bottle of champagne.

Asparagus - This was served to 19th century bridegrooms for its reported aphrodisiac
powers, it also has an sensual phallic shape. For an asparagus dish we suggest
Spring
Asparagus Cheddar Soup

Banana - It has a creamy, lush texture and an erotic shape that no one can deny. It also
has an enzyme, bromelain, which enhances male performance, and we all like enhanced
male performance. For a banana dish we suggest a decadent desert dish of
Banana's
Foster

Caviar- Caviar is high is zinc, which produces testosterone. That in turn increases
stamina and stamina is a good thing have later in the night. A caviar dish we suggest is

Sea Bass with Caviar Sauce
  

Chocolate - Chocolate has both a sedative which relaxes and lowers inhibitions and a
stimulant to increase activity and the desire for physical contact. And we are all looking
for physical contact. For a chocolate desert we suggest an easy
Espresso Chocolate
Mousse

Figs - These seasonal crops were once celebrated by ancient Greeks in a frenzied
copulation ritual. That sounds like something worth recreating. Our fig recipe we suggest
is
Cornish Hens Stuffed with Brandied Figs

Oysters - Some oyster repeatedly change their sex male to female and back, giving rise
to claims that the oyster lets one experience the masculine and feminine sides of love.
This is perfect for the gay diet. For oysters we recommend
Oysters Rockefeller

Radish - This spicy food is sure to spice up your love life too. For radishes we suggest a
healthy
Radish Salad


Of course the biggest aphrodisiac is you! Put on your favorite cologne, spend
some time on your hair, pick the right outfit, and be yourself!
