What's your idea of a romantic date?

Edit: Thanks all for the responses, guess it's more about what's important between the 2 of you. After around a decade, things are starting to feel a bit repetitive I guess so I was trying to see if I could gain some fresh ideas.

What does this mean? Why does it have so many upvotes?

ISO 8601 is the objectively right way to write dates so they’re always sorted in chronological order.

Not only in order but also

  1. very human-obvious (international 1-1-2020 is not obvious if day-mo-year or mo-day-year)
  2. Allows for arbitrary additional levels of precision to be appended. (E.g. year-mo-day-hour-min-sec-etc)

I love it when we eat spaghetti together and our snoots touch :) bonus points if she has brown hair all over her body and floppy ears.

Any time that you spend with someone close to you can be romantic.

Some of the most memorable and romantic times I've had were just going for strolls, talking openly, and appreciating each other.

Something meaningful to your partner, not just a fancy place (those are nice too).

Close by our house is a little pho place that my wife loves. She hates the cold weather, and if it's an especially chilly day she's usually feeling "meh" but if I say "let's go get warm soup belly" her mood instantly changes and I think that's romantic :)

I like dinner out and a walk in the city, to a bar for one drink.

Home doesn't work because it's infested with kids and I would end up cooking the dinner. (I absolutely love family supper but it's not romantic).

If capital D Date is not a requirement, most romantic is waking up together and doing it again, absolutely.

I'm alright just hanging out in his or her house. Going places is nice, but you shouldn't go somewhere to have a nice time just because it's a status symbol to consider that date-like. A lot of people treat outings to venues and attractions like you're recharging the batteries on your relationship, and to me that comes off as a red flag because then the dynamic isn't flowing and is more like something that consciously must be maintained.
