It may sound cliche but who cares...it's romantic and girls love it. Candles are the perfect compliment to a romantic, evening. Set a nice warm bubble bath, candles, and rose petals (any florist should have them in a bag in their refrigerator section) sprinkled lightly. Soften the light (maybe take one or 2 of the bulbs out. Set the room up. You can go to Burlington and for like $30 get a nice set of black or red satin sheets (totally reusable and gorgeous ). Set up candles around (not on the side tables they might get knocked over...learned the hard way and totally spoils the mood). Put rose petals on the bed (something real sexy about having them stick to you while you roll around) and play soft love music from your computer or cd player. Its nice and simple and doesn't take a lot of prep work. Also if you'd like get some edible massage oil and as soon as she walks out of the tub have her lay down for a rub, kiss her neck and her back..the rest will take care of itself.
