My husband loves stuff pork chops, with a veggie, and cinnamon apples. Just take the pork chops and make slits down the center (I perfer boneless pork chops). Take the cook stuffing and stuff the pork chop. Place in a baking dish and put tin foil on the top bake at 350 for 35 minutes or so. Until the pork chop is fully cooked. Cinnamon apples you slice up some apples and add sugar and cinnamon and cook it up until the apples are soft. Maybe it is not so romantic but it is something different and I know my husband enjoys it.

yum! that apple recipe sounds great... did you know that men are attracted to food smells? as in, most men prefer cinnamon and donut smells to expensive perfume. silly boys!

No I didn't know that but I could only imagine they rather smell some type of food then some perfume. Where I know I much rather smell cologne. haha

yessss... first dish: pasta! choose the pasta you prefer (short is better) boil it as usual and in anther saucepan put some cream and salt it, then join smoked salmon cut in little slices. When pasta is ready, put it in the saucepan with th cream and salmon. Let the elements meld and serve!

Have you thought of maybe doing something with chicken, or maybe like cornish hens? You can get those easily at the supermarket. There are some great recipes at allrecipes.com. You might also try typing romantic dinner ideas in too your search engine. You might be surprised at what you might find.

I always find it is good to do something light as you don't feel so heavy and tired later in the evening. How about trying some asparagus with heart shaped crisps (http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk/asparagusgingersatsumaandheartcrisps.html) it is what I cooked for valentines evening. If you have a look at that website in the valentines section there is a whole host of valentines ideas which might help you get some ideas for your romantic meal.

oh that looks good! thanks! it'll be a bit of a splurge since asparagus is pricey here at the farmer's market, but it sounds wonderful

I don't know if you and your boyfriend like seafood but a nice meal could be crab legs, lobster, or shrimp. Another finger lickin good idea is ribs, maybe served with twice baked potatoes. My husband loves lasagne but I see that someone already beat me to that suggestion. Good luck and have fun!

When I treat my girlfriend to a meal out we usually try a different place each time, but any indian or chinese meal is usually really good.

You can always make what you normally make during your romantic meals, but make it better or dress it up. If you make steak, do you have steak sauce? That makes it a lot better I think. Or what about adding some red peal mashed potatos and steamed carrots. I love lasagna so that's a thought since you say you always make pastas and things with chicken. I love Rachel Ray's cooking, look into her recipes if you haven't. She's got a lot of neat ideas.

Fettucine Alfredo always does it for me. I like it with bacon and peas.
