There’s a good reason why Hollywood movies screen all their most romantic moments at night and not during the day. Dinner is always a more intimate rendezvous than any other meal or time of day.
There’s plenty of reasons for the preference of night time for amorous activities, a few highlighting ones are;
1. There’s a lot less distraction during the night. Noise is at a lower level and even the brightness of light is at a lower level, forcing individuals to pay more attention to their dates than the screeching car on the road outside.
2. Dim lights are a catalyst to a fundamental psychological process that leads to sexual relations; idolization. In simpler terms, newly hitched couples experience a sense of deluded and often exaggerated perception of their partners. This involves portraying them as more attractive, intelligent and charming than they actually are. What better way to let your imagination run wild than under dim lights.
Having established the importance of scheduling your dates for dinner instead of lunch it might be a good idea to brush up on a few night time dating basics, from location to activities and conversation starters.
Here is the list of nightlife essentials to woo her into having breakfast in bed.
1. Find out her taste in music. Music has a way of setting the mood for dates even when the people involved aren’t the smoothest operators. The positive feelings aroused by her favourite music will no doubt rub itself off on you. Date ideas that capitalize on music are concerts and musical shows in addition to pubs with themed music nights and even night clubs playing a certain type of music.
2. Conversation is one of the most difficult parts of dating someone new. Sometimes it’s just impossible to come up with the right things to say. It’s a good idea to ask her whether she stays out late at night usually. This will serve the purpose of gauging her comfort levels as well as giving her a reason to keep talking about her experiences on other night outs. But the important thing to remember is that in a place with loud music there’s very little conversation that really takes place. Make use of the music whenever you’re drained of conversation topics.
3. Dress the part. The most important element of dim lights and night time is to make a statement with your fashion sense. More often than not the shadows and the lighting will make you look more attractive by complementing your positive attributes. For thin guys the shadows have a way of making the body look fuller while for chubby guys the lights help take the attention away from those unflattering areas. However it’s important to dress appropriately since the most visible areas of your body will be clothed and the clothing will make the impression for you.
4. Karaoke singing is a brilliant idea for a night time date. Dinner followed by some good spirited musical notes will help create more rapport while also taking the pressure out of the situation and any awkwardness that comes with it. This is also a perfect time to impress her with your vocal range. Even if you can’t sing to save your life, both of you can at least bond over the memories.
5. Be sure to smell good. Cologne and mint are mandates for any date and not just night time ones. Especially on dates that involve close range dinner setups for two and dancing, it’s compulsory that you smell your best, for obvious reasons.
6. Theatre and stage play are also very good date ideas for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is the ample space it provides for conversation later on. Both of you will have plenty to discuss about the details of the play you just watched.
