* Have a movie night--with a twist.
Rent one of these five amazing date movies that you'd never expect, and cook up a batch of popcorn. But instead of adding melting butter, try your popcorn with parmesan cheese OR a sprinkle of sugar (that's how the French do it). Then curl up on the sofa under a blanket and trade off giving each other back rubs or hand massages (they're surprisingly nice!) while watching the film. It can't help leading to your own big-screen-worthy kiss...

* Guys love dogs.
So take your fella to a park or dog run near your house, or borrow a dog from a friend for an afternoon walk. Running around with a puppy will get you all cheery, and then, once you drop off that little floppy-eared friend, you'll both feel energized for a little friskiness yourself.

* Head out for a bike ride. Bust on your knit hats, and rent a tandem for an hour, borrow your friends' bikes or bring our your own clunky Schwinns for a ride around town. Now's the time for spring blossoms, so admire those budding trees and stop by the cider mill for two warm donuts. Feeling chilly after all that riding? I'm sure he can think of a way to warm you up...
