Ideas for Romantic Monday Dates

The start of the work week. The end of the weekend. For most, ideas for romantic Monday dates do not coincide with what the day usually means to them. Surprise your sweetheart by turning this no fun day into a night to remember with these tips. Since a lot of people are lagging on this day, do not plan a big night out. Keep things simple when planning romance on a Monday.

The Menu
Pick up her favorite takeout, whether it be Chinese or Mexican. Don't forget the paper plates and plastic silverware for easy cleanup. Not having to do any dishes after a long day is a gift in itself for a romantic Monday date.

The Main Attraction
Stop by the video store and rent a classic old favorite or new release to watch together. This is one of the best days to be able to pick up a popular new release because most people have returned them from viewing them over the weekend.

Before Bed
Run a hot bath for two, complete with oils or bubbles. Sit and relax together while you wash her back or hair for her. Read a few passages out of a poetry book or sultry novel. Have a couple glasses of wine chilled just for romance on a Monday.

In Bed
Give your lady a sensual relaxing massage before falling asleep. Light some scented candles and slightly warm some coconut or olive oil beforehand. Have the bed already turned down and her pillows fluffed before she enters the room.

For a true romantic Monday date, keep things at just a massage. Do not try to get things to go any further. Let her drift off to dreamland under your magic hands. Then again, if she responds by with wanting more, who says romance on a Monday can't end just like it would on a weekend night? The important thing is to let her decide.
