By Susan Lancaster
When you are planning a romantic meal out with your partner whether its the first date or you have been intimate for years, there are so many vital things you should be doing to make the evening just that little bit special. Try and be the best person you can be to help the other person feel really appreciated and listened to, it’s a sure fire way to get into the romantic zone.

Do's


Always complement you partner on how they look and pick something specific like jewellery or shoes to complement so they know you have actually looked at them properly.

Be polite remembering your pleases and thank yous and not burping or picking your nose as you would do at home is essential, along with being polite to the staff as your date will undoubtedly be watching how you address other people too.

Dress to impress, take the time and make a bit more effort, more to boost your own confidence than anything else.

Think about what you want to say, there is a lot of time between eating and being served to talk but make it meaningful and pleasant, if youve been together a while dont discuss your latest grievances and if you havent don’t discuss the recession or religious politics.

Do Not's

Drink an excessive amount of alcohol, even if you are feeling nervous or think you can handle it, it’s just not a nice impression

Don't eat the other persons
