Romantic Date 1 - Take a Romantic Tour

By Hot Air Balloon Take to the skies and tour a romantic sim by hot air balloon. You can board this one at Auroro (teleport). You’ll see it on the teleport board near to where you land. This is one way to take your love higher!

This is a great way to see what a sim has to offer so keep an eye out for a nice area on the sim to continue your date.

The tour on Auroro doesn’t take long so you have more time to enjoy the exploring sim. If you want to stay in the sky then there are other fun air machines you can try. Look, see the runway below?

Another fun activity you can do together involving the sky is echuting (near to the balloon base). You can grab an echute, sit down on the platform and a rocket engine propels you high up into the sky.

Then your echute opens and steer as you drift down.

Romantic Tour – On a Swan Grace the lake on a swan at Valentines on Ice (teleport)

Enjoy some amazing scenery by day or light effects by night.

Cuddle and relax as the swan takes you along its Romantic course.

Simply board the swan here

and select from lots of cuddle animations,

or try the pink swans at Calas Galadhon (teleport).

Jump in the swan and cuddle but beware the tour is a lot longer.

Then again you may have all the time in the world for your date on Valentines Day!

and select from lots of cuddle animations

The look of love? Being together, trusting each other, caught in that special moment, its what Romance is all about!

Make sure you support Romantic sims so that they can continue to create special moments like this and be enjoyed by many people.

Romantic Date 2 - A Horse Ride For 2!

Ride together on horseback and stop along the way to admire beautiful sights like this fantasy area at Valentine on Ice (teleport).

You can find the horse waiting for you at this location.

Just click to rez a horse and you can both jump on.

This is a fun way to explore the sim together and discover more hidden gems like this igloo with a nice comfy bed inside,

or stop off to ride a cable car up the mountain.

Admire the stunning views all around,

and not just scenery on the outside either (chuckle).

Romantic Date 3 - Go Ballroom Dancing You can’t get much more elegant and Romantic than Foxxies Ballroom (teleport), with roses and hearts all around.

.

Dance in the centre or choose your own private area at the side

Romantic Date 4 – Have a Romantic Meal

Wine and dine in a Romantic location such as Whisper of Silk (teleport) and what’s more it’s free so make sure you leave a tip.

The sim itself is very pretty like these waterfall steps with pretty flowers adorning them.

Wander around and find some other fun romantic activities like this swing made for 2, or teleport to different areas on the sim.

If you are looking for something less formal try the Taste of Romance Café (teleport).

You can choose to sit inside and choose which Romantic sim you want to go to, or outside to admire the beautiful beach. There are some great animations on the seats as you can see from these pictures!

Romantic Date 5 – Enjoy a Romantic dance A great place to dance is Charmed Romance (teleport).

Full of roses, hearts & rustic arches. Pure traditional romance at its best.

After you’ve worn out the dancefloor collapse together on this comfy couch,

or walk through the trees to find a cute tent, a secret rendezvous with a bit of luxury. We loved the Romantic animations inside.

Love is all around on this little sim and you can even visit a Wedding store and other Romantic shops..

If you prefer to go for a Romantic dance in the Sunset then Extasia (teleport) is perfect, very relaxing and plenty of space..

There are some excellent moves on the intan, a very good selection of dances, cuddles and kisses too!

Water flows around sandy banks which are joined together by little bridges

Go back even further and you can dance on a lit-up wooden balcony with the sunset in the distance.

Maybe you want to dance somewhere grand and luxurious, then Da Vinci Gardens (teleport) is the place for you.

Dance areas and relaxing spa baths are set amidst splendid stylish palace-like towers.

Fire lamps light the way as you walk along hand in hand.

You might even have time to watch the swans in the water below and gaze at the beautiful gardens.

Dance amongst the stars at Whisper of Silk (teleport).

Lots of great dances on the intans, even an air dance which allows you to float up and kiss in mid air!

There are many different dance areas in SL, try the marble white ballroom dancefloor at Charmed Bora (teleport)

Romantic Date 6 – A Gondola Ride in Venice

What could be more romantic than a Gondola Ride along the waterways of Romantic Venice (teleport).

The Gondola below waits for you to board, off you go!

Romantic Date 7 – Off to the Movies

The Roxy Cinema (teleport) is ideal for a cuddly night at the movies.

Grab some popcorn and a drink with 2 straws to share, then make your way up the windy staircase into a lovely cute stylish auditorium!

We loved the spacious couple seats with great Romantic animations.

To watch a film join the group for just L$50 and touch the grey square onscreen for a menu. There’s a good choice of movies to watch.

Romantic Date 8 – Explore a Romantic Sim You can find some amazing areas when exploring a Romantic sim.

Like this beautiful tree arch with hanging lights at Loch Tredach Inn & Retreat (teleport).

.

Or this pretty fantasy like dance area by some ruins

Land at The River of Love (teleport) on this beautiful decking carpeted with rose petals. Enjoy something to eat or tour the sim by boat.

.

Along the way you’ll find some nice things to enjoy. There was an event on while we were there playing tasteful Romantic Rock music.

Why not pose for a souvenir photo of your date?

.

Stop off at a nice dance area.

Romantic lamps with hanging ribbons light up your path. .

Romantic Date 9 – A Fun Romantic Date Is fun connected with Romance? Yes most definitely.

Have a fun time together on your romantic date to empower your Romance. For starters try a kissing booth.

.

Valentine on Ice (teleport) A Ripple of Romance (teleport)

River of Love (teleport)

or how about fun on your very own bowling alley sky island!

Clear instructions on the board tell . you what to do. Then afterwards walk along and teleport to another romantic area on the sim!
