    Date Night Done Right
    1. Have a DIY dinner. Set up a taco bar with all the fixings or make homemade pizza. "Creating something together is interactive, so it brings you closer," says relationship therapist Sandra Anne Taylor, author of Act to Attract.

    2. Plan wine-tasting excursion and hit a local vineyard to find a new favorite.

    3. Spend a weekend day with your man. Find an outdoor bar to sip beers, eat fresh warm pretzels and people watch.

    4. Go to an afternoon Rays game. Don't know much about baseball? Nows the time to let him teach you or impress him with your sports knowledge!

    5. Go on an edu-date. Taking classes on anything from Italian to film bonds you and introduces you to new things.

    6. Grab a paddle or sail! Enjoy the Florida weather by kite surfing in Pasaagrille or near the Skyway, kayaking at Ft. DeSoto, orParasailing on Clearwater Beach!

    7. Play around-the-world cocktails. Sample one specialty drink from a wine bar, one from a pub, and another from a Russian vodka room. Take a taxi.

    8. Take him to a NASCAR-style event. Any guy obsessed with wheels (aren't they all?) will love a trip to the races. So make a day trip over to Daytona!

    9. Throw on your sexiest preppy duds and hit the golf driving range.

    10. Pamper yourselves with a couples massage at a day spa. "It's a relaxing, sensual experience that can put you in an amorous mood as well," says Janice Levine, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Lexington, Massachusetts.

    11. Book a room at a local hotel for only one night. To add an element of mystery, don't tell him where you're going.

    12. Want to know if you have a future with your significant other? Visit a psychic. You don't have to buy into the predictions, but at least you'll have a good laugh.

    13. Instead of eating dinner in front of the TV, grab a blanket, a baguette, and Brie and have a picnic under the stars. Or nibble on finger foods in bed.

    14. Test your luck at The Hard Rock Casino. Bring only a set amount of cash that you can afford to lose.

    15. Hit a playground or an amusement park. Use the swing set, go on rides, win a teddy bear-you know, have fun like you did when you were a kid.
