Your last ROMANTIC date night with DH

[Deleted]

Amazing steak dinner for H's birthday two weeks ago. We spent a lot.

Dinner out... $30 for tip. It would have been over $100 before tip, but it was one of my work restaurants so it was free.

We have at home date nights on Thursdays. We don't eat dinner with DD on that night, when we feed her, we just sit at the table with her with a glass of wine. After we put her to bed, we cook a nice dinner and after dinner we drink a bottle of prosecco.

Very MM!

Unfortunately GABF is this weekend and we're going to have a packed house starting tonight, so this week is off.

"ROMANTIC" is not really a term that comes to mind for our date nights. Thursday night we went to a bar, had several drinks, and got in a fight? Does that count?

ETA: I did not answer all the questions. We spent $24.50 and there was no sex involved.

Neither of us are big romantics, but we went out for an amazing dinner last night at our friends' new restaurant. No action after, as I had to study and get up early today. Plus, I was beyond stuffed.

We went to a nice restaurant (Blue Duck Tavern) on Saturday for a belated anniversary dinner and spent $190. Our anniversary dinner is usually our one big splurge meal, so this isn't exactly a standard Saturday night for us I think it would be more appropriate to say that I gave it up afterwards - DH doesn't take much convincing. Pregnancy does not make me feel very sexy though.

What exactly defines a "romantic date?" I'm not really a romantic person, therefore I do not intentionally plan romantic dates, nor do I care for fine dining establishments that require me to dress up. DH is a romantic at heart though. He can make a mushy romantic situation out of pretty much anything. I would say many things we do on a regular basis would be considered "romantic."

Last weekend. Nice dinner out. $100. Sex before dinner. Hes always too tired after.

ummm, hmmmmmm.

for our anniversary I was stuck in the hospital on bedrest. Dh brought my favorite pizza, cheesecake, and a couple of photos of our dating years and a wedding pic for my room. And he brought a couple of the love notes we passed to each other at work when we were first dating

We watched the Royals lose a game to the Cards from my hospital bed but it was still pretty romantic!

Our anniversary was this past Saturday. We didn't really do anything over the top but we did go out to a nice new restaurant that was amazing. (We had to cancel our original plans when we found out I was pregnant)

A few weeks ago we had a great night in front of the fireplace with wine and Chinese take-out.

Last weekend we went out to a fancy new English restaurant while ILs babysat.

It was fun, tasty, and mm (only $65 including tip and a 1/2L of wine). I was pretty tipsy by the end and was ready to give it away when we got home.

Unfortunately the date was cut short when MIL called begging us to come home because ds had been crying since we'd left

We don't really do romantic dates. I actually don't remember a single "romantic" date that we have gone on.

That's so sweet! Your DH seems wonderful!

Two weeks ago in Vegas. We did the private tasting menu plus wine pairing at e' by Jose Andres at the Cosmopolitan Hotel.

25 course tasting menu and wine was just over $800 including 20% gratuity.

We went back to our room in a food coma.

Romantic? Umm. Well we tried to go somewhere in little Italy, but it was kind of crappy. So I don't count that. Before that? Probably sailing the inner harbor back in June. Lame!

We went for an overnight date to Annapolis, probably 2 months ago. Had lunch and drinks with friends, then went off on our own. Got crepes for a snack, took a boat ride, took a "nap" (got lucky), before dinner drinks at the hotel bar, dinner at Lewnes, and an amazing brunch at Miss Shirley's the next morning.

No clue how much we spent, maybe $600? Probably more. We got a great deal on the hotel though, and the before dinner drinks were included with our room.

H and I don't actually do date night. Almost every night we sit in front of the tv and watch tv shows together if that counts haha. Tonight we spent $10 on a cheap bottle of wine.

Actually going out, we went to Horizons at Grove Park last weekend. It was $190 for dinner but we had a $100 gift card. I had no idea it was that expensive there or I would have chosen a cheaper restaurant there haha.

There is so little romance in our house, but I guess it's ok since we're on the same page.

I would put our anniversary on the list though. We went wine tasting, I drank and h drove. Came home, took a picnic to the beach. I'm sure there was some luck at some point that day, but since it we five months ago I'm foggy on the details.

[mrshandy]

My birthday, back in June. :-( It's been a busy few months.

I think we spent around $120ish. We had a living social deal. DH had been there before and liked it, but apparently they had changed the menu and it wasn't that great. We had fun nonetheless.

We do romantic fancy dinners for anniversary, valentines, and birthdays. Outside of that though, it doesn't happen. We go out to dinner a lot just the two of us, but wouldn't call it romantic. On the other hand, we are very sweet and romantic to each other on a daily basis.

Last romantic date was going to be our anniversary in August. My parents took the kids and we were going to go out to a nice dinner and have the evening to ourselves.

We ended up going out, but I got into a car accident on my way home from a week of work travel. The car wasn't driveable and we had to postpone our dinner 3x and didn't get to meet until 9:30 that night, after work sent someone to come retrieve me. So we didn't have the romantic, stress-free dinner we wanted, but at least I was okay. We had reservations at a really nice Japanese restaurant by us and got the chef's tasting. I had a few glasses of wine and he had sake. I think we spent around $200.

Since I was a wreck and we were child free, he "gave it up" the next morning
