When it comes to romance killers, nothing works faster than pressure. Of course you want your romantic evening to go just as you planned, but it's far more important to roll with the punches rather then freak out and start crying if dinner gets a little burnt or if at the end of the night you just feel like cuddling.

This also goes for the pressure you place on your partner during your romantic rendezvous. At the end of the night what really matters is that you spent time together just enjoying each other's company as a couple. While dressing up and redecorating your living room for the evening can be fun and help get you in a romantic mood, the idea of "escaping" your daily life is so you can concentrate on each other instead. Keep your focus on that simple fact and you can create a romantic evening at home anytime.
