Going on dates is a great way to reconnect with your partner, but sometimes you want to do more than just spend quality time together.

A steamy date night can be just the thing to add some spice to your relationship and keep things exciting.

Whether you're a new couple or have been together for years, here are six ideas to make your date night a sexy one.

1. Have a Candlelit Dinner

A candlelit dinner is a classic way to set a romantic mood. Even if this dinner takes place at home, don’t show up at the table wearing your pajamas. Dress up! Style your hair! Make it clear that you’re making an effort. Dim the lights, don’t forget the wine–and it’s a bonus if you and your partner cook your favorite meal together. You can enjoy your meal, talk, and connect with each other in a simple but intimate way. It’s a cliché for a reason!

2. Plan a Massage Night

A sensual massage can be a great way to relax and connect with your partner on a deeper level. Set the mood with candles, dim lighting, and soothing music. Use massage oils and take turns giving each other a massage. You can also try incorporating some tantric techniques to deepen your connection. Plus, the massage will likely take place in your bedroom, which is the perfect place for things to heat up.

3. Go Lingerie Shopping

Shopping for lingerie together can be a fun and sexy activity. Go to your favorite lingerie shop, browse together, and pick out something that you and your partner both like. You can surprise each other with your choices and wear them later in the evening. This date will rev up the imagination and leave you both hot and bothered before you even try the pieces on!

4. Have a Game Night

A game night can be a great way to add some fun and competition to your date. Choose games that have a sexy twist, like Truth or Dare, Strip Poker, or a steamy board game designed for couples. Set some ground rules, and have fun exploring each other's bodies, fantasies, and desires. It won’t take long to forget all about the game–and both you and your partner will be winners by the end of the night.

5. Plan a Weekend Getaway

A weekend getaway is a fail-proof way to add some excitement and adventure to your relationship. Choose a destination that's romantic and secluded. Rent a cabin or pack up a tent. Make sure there are limited distractions! Spend the weekend relaxing and reconnecting with your partner . The whole point of the trip is to spend time with each other–and only each other! 

‍

6. Take a Bath Together

A hot bath can be a great way to relax and connect with your partner. Fill up the tub with warm water, add some essential oils or therapeutic salts, and light some candles. Take advantage of the small space–it’s the perfect excuse to cuddle. Enjoy the intimate and sensual moment together. You likely won’t stay still for long!

A sexy date night doesn’t have to be luxurious and extravagant. Simple is just as good–better, even! It’s not as difficult as you might have imagined to add some excitement and spice to your relationship. With these date ideas, you can reconnect with your partner, revive your romance, and create sweet (and hot) memories together. Don't be afraid to try new things!
