#3. Have a book date

It may sound a bit unusual, but it is a great idea for a date. Especially if you and your partner are bookworms and love reading. Pick up two copies of the same novel, and read it while cuddling up next to each other. When you both are through with one chapter, speculate about what is going to happen in the next one. And, who ever is right most of the times, gets a special treat at the end (and we expect you think naughty here).

And while your partner does the work, you can simply hug him/her from behind and whisper naughty things in their ears.This will surely add extra flavours to your food.
