Best thing to cook for a g/f for a romantic dinner?

Ok... yes, by all means, know what her favorite foods are, and list them as your options.  DON'T make anything that would be a potential mess (i.e. spaghetti is just an accident waiting to happen to that beautiful dress/shirt she bought to wear just for you!).  DON'T pick anything you haven't tried cooking before.  What if you cook it exactly according to recipe and it looks great but tastes terrible?!  DON'T try anything too elaborate either, you don't want to stress yourself out trying to impress her.  It's romantic already just by the fact that you're making it for her.  Grilled is always a good option.  And make sure you are romantic!  Tell her she's beautiful, give her flowers, play romantic music, get the door and the chair for her, make sure you have good lighting. ( Just candlelight while your eating probably isn't a good idea. Add candle light along with either light from outside or from another room in the house. )  So that way, even if the meal's not the best, she won't hold it against you!  What ever you cook, put a lot of TLC (Tender Loving Care) into it!  I promise she'll love it!!

How about a nice romantic candlelit dinner, followed up with some relaxing music. Than maybe go for an evening stroll outside when all the stars are shining bright n' the moon is out. Than propose.\nThat's just an idea.\n\nGirls love that stuff though. IF you don't wanna go to the extreme, like annoucing will you marry me up in da sky or at a baseball game. Than the first thing I mention would be a special moment between the two of you.\nDon't forget some flowers! We love that too...

Gosh, this is a loaded question!  It all depends on so much!  Do you have kids, howz your sex life...how creative do you want to be?!  The romantic dinner is a GREAT idea to start with!  There are some very romantic sexual games you can play after to spice things up. ("An Enchanted Evening" as an example)  To really save money you could make him a wonderful "coupon book" that he may use all year (Until your 7th anniversary)  Including back rubs, hugs, kisses, sexual favors, picinic lunch, his favorite home cooked meal....

I think it's a great idea if you know how to cook and a bad one if you don't.  Don't make a huge meal, a simple gourmet meal is the best.  Get a bottle of wine as well, but drink it in moderation.  This is, after all, a FIRST date.  Good luck!\n\nEDIT:  I find it hilarious that people did NOT read your question thoroughly!  I keep seeing SHE this, SHE that.\n\nAgain, good luck with the date!

set up a nice candlelight dinner for her with roses around and nice mellow music playing. during dinner just look into her eyes and tell her what u feel and how u like the fact that she's around....surprise her with flowers sent to her job with a love letter on it (or the invitation for the dinner) a nice stroll on the beach is nice too. Just as long as it comes from the heart.

Go out for a nice romantic, candle-lit meal and a few drinks. Come home and have a hot bubble bath with the man/woman you are with, then a sensual massage using aromatherapy oils, and then if the mood takes, make mad passionate love all night !

Prepare his favorite meal, or in case you don't cook order it in his favorite restaurant and have them deliver it to you. \n\nSet the table really nice, and don't forget the candles!!!!!!\n\nIf you like to dance you can do it at home, just turn the stereo on (romantic music, of course).\n\nAnd then, if you are married or live together, take a bath together before going to bed.  Fill the bathtub with warm water and add lots of red rose petals to it (and I mean LOTS of petals!!!!) don't add anything else, the petals will give you a magic and romantic essence.  \n\nNow, while you are taking a bath, you can turn romantic music on, place candles around the tub, turn the light off and have a glass of your favorite wine and ENJOY YOUR NIGHT!!!!!!\n\nHAPPY VALENTINES DAY

find out what her fav foods are and try that. or if there is a dish that you've had alot of practice on and you consider good then do that (unless she's already tried it.) ultimately most girls are going to be touched (if not laughing) that you went through the trouble of cooking for them.\n\nanother suggestion would be to change a recipe that they know how to make by making improvements to it.\n\ni.e. my gf had eaten curry before and knew how to make it. i introduced her to putting tofu and mushrooms in it (absorbs the flavor) and minimizing the water content to give it a more gravy like consistency. she was amazed (which had me laughing), that it tasted so good. sometimes its the simple things that work out.\n\nheck, even making something as simple as spagetti to eat is cool if you give it a cool setting, think disney's lady and the tramp. low lights, candles, music in the background, bf made spagetti, garlic bread, and a nice setting on the table and something cool to drink (maybe alcohol, or something else that might compliment the food if you're not into that or too young)

Maby if the weather is nice you can suprize her with a nice pinic lunch out side just the two of yous.Light some candles and make it real romantic.

I couldn't of asked for anything better.

k, I'm a chic, so listen up ... no bad-breath causing foods, onion, garlic, sausage, that sort of thing, and nothing too salty. You'll both have dry mouth shortly after eating and won't be in the mood for smooching ;)\n\nA nice, simple but interesting salad would do fine. Try having a sort of "buffet" where she can make her own. Impress her with some designer salad dressings (that you can buy at any supermarket, just look on the top shelf). Boiled shrimp would be nice as a topper, or even some oysters, yum. Cheeses, fresh mushrooms, cucumbers, bacon, and so on. Just make it fun ... and for dessert ... \n\nGet a bunch of strawberries ... or splurge and do the blueberry, raspberry, strawberry thing, even throw in some mangoes and kiwis ... top that with a little vanilla sauce a.k.a. vanilla cook-and-serve jello pudding. Keep it warm on the stove or in a fondue pot until you're ready to use it.  A little dollop of whip cream would look awesome too.  You could even melt a little chocolate too, in case that's her thing. And you know how good chocolate makes you feel ...\n\nA nice bottle of wine, or her favorite drink. Don't forget the glass of ice water too. Freeze a raspberry in the ice cubes and you'll get laid for sure :) (just a little tip there) ... \n\nMake her feel at home, don't have too many lights on ... girls are a little self-conscious when we eat even if we don't admit it ... and play some good dinner music. Al Greene, Luther Vandross, whatever you like, just don't have it so loud that you can't talk. \n\nI guess it's not so much about the food, but the way you present the whole package that counts! Good luck.\n\nps, absolutely NO spaghetti !!! yikes !!! dragon breath for days!

Hi Lenny, well if it was the right time of year I'd say raid a rose garden. My ex did that for me one year. I had roses everywhere! He almost got busted though. How about take her for a Sunday drive in the country. Stop and take pictures of the scenery and eachother. Snuggle if it's cold. Also, I've always loved dinner by candle light. Can you cook? You can snuggle on the couch and watch a romantic movie with her. Take a walk in the moonlight and talk about your future plans and dreams and include her.

I'm hosting too.  Here's a list of what will be on the menu:\n\nTurkey\nStuffing\nMashed Potatoes\nGravy\nRolls\nCorn\nMy wife's famous baked broccoli/cauliflower casserole\nCandied yams (sweet potatoes)\nCranberry sauce\nPumpkin pie\nApple pie\n\nOK, so it's very traditional and pretty boring, but hey...it only comes once a year and my family likes the traditional dinner, so it works for us
