The all important first date – will it bomb or will it be a success?  Will you go home right after dinner or will you be offered a … nightcap?  That is the question.  With all of the options in the Jacksonville area, it’s difficult to determine where the ‘perfect’ locale is and how to plan a night of love. Here are some easy tips to make sure your special someone is smiling and walking hand in hand with you when the night is over.  Cheesy, but true.

Plan Ahead

Many people believe that spontaneity is the best way to create romance, but this not always the case.  After all, a lot of things can go wrong if you simply do things on impulse.  No matter how exciting it might seem, your date doesn’t want to wait while you try to talk your way into the hottest Jacksonville restaurant with that extra $5 bill you slip to the host.

Even if you’ve lived in Jacksonville for years, you want to plan your night out ahead of time so that there are no problems along the way.  After all, that hot restaurant that your loved one likes might be booked if you don’t think to make a reservation well in advance of arriving.  If you’re thinking about a romantic date night, you need to make your plans at least one week in advance, if not two weeks.  As a result, if anything changes, then you can adjust your plan without your special someone even knowing it.

Give Your Partner a Choice…

With JaxNightLife, you can show your partner all of the options they have.  Let them do the hard work of planning your first night out – that way, if things go wrong, it’s their fault.  Right?

Let your date pick out a few different things they might want to do so that you have an idea of what they think a romantic evening entails.  This is not to say that you couldn’t plan the night on your own, but if you’re in a newer relationship or you want to make things ultra-romantic, it’s a good idea to get the opinion of your date ahead of time.  But there’s a catch.

But Keep Things a Secret

Just because the other person has picked a few things they might like to do doesn’t mean that you are going to do them – quite the opposite.  Sure, take their suggestions to heart, but then plan an evening that will surprise them and excite them.  Since you know what they want, this is going to be easy, assuming they picked fun things to do.

A romantic night is simple to plan when you think about what you’ll do ahead of time, then let your partner in on the planning, but then keep things secret until you’re in the car together.  Gotta leave them guessing a little bit…
