Sizzling Romantic Tips and Ideas...

I have observed so many romantic dinner for her - Caribbean style - and so now I shall like to put my observations down on paper.

Ok, I've worked as a waiter/bartender at the Hotel Tower, Georgetown Guyana while still in my teens.

I've had the opportunities to serve folks from all walks of life, and I must admit, each one possessing his or her own set of characteristics and peculiarities ...ranging anywhere from the upright and courteous, right down to the weird and wacky.

But a romantic dinner for her was what usually gets my attention ...in particular, the dress mode of him from Mars, and her from Venus ...as well as the eating habits of these two alien species.

Ok, the dress mode first:

Because of the warm climate, guys rarely dress in suits for dinner, but almost at all times, their shirts are unbuttoned ...mainly exposing chests with hair or lack thereof.

The bottom line is they're mostly casual or less than casual wear.

On the other hand, romantic dinner for her is a study in vast contrasts. She's mostly dressed to kill ...very formal and looking exceedingly feminine and gorgeous. As always ...a very nice hairdo and a sizzling hot number hugged each curve.

She probably spent a fortune for the matching shoes, purse and earrings.

...And the fragrant perfumes! Hhmmm!

One is almost tempted to loiter a bit longer in serving the vegetables ...just so to take in the whiff of the sweet lingering smell.

I'm sure I did that on more that a gazillion occasion ...trying to be discreet of course.

The last thing you want is for the guy to get suspicious and deposit the vegetables and steak on your face. No need to ruin a scintillating romantic dinner for her, eh!

Sidebar: She exudes an air of high-class sophistication ...he displays a casual down-to-earth style.

Now the part that intrigues me the most is the menu choice.

Romantic dinner for her is a selection from the most expensive part of the menu.

You know ...

...The whole enchilada.

Of course, he's giving "thumbs-up" approval.

Whether he can afford it or not, or will kick himself afterwards is ample food for thought.

Meanwhile, his selection would probably entail a cup of coffee or something light ...perhaps a beer.

Now, with that expensive menu choice, one will imagine that this specimen from Venus will dig into the dish and enjoy every bit of juicy steak.

But NO!

Almost always - and I kid you not - she'll pick a piece of tomato from the plate and nibble on a few leaves of lettuce.

The rest of the time she's toying around with the main dish ...every now and then taking deliberate glances in her front view compact mirror ...adjusting a stray hair here and there.

All the time I'm a discreet keen observer from a strategic position.

She's chatting away and he's puffing on a cigarette.

I doubt whether he's listening to her in the first place.

After what normally would seem like an eternity, he'll pay for the romantic dinner for her, and as I clear the table, I'm saying to myself. "Hmmm. What a shame! Such succulent steak and not a bite from it".

Had I not had my fill of hotel food, I'd probably shuffle the meat away for personal use.

On some few (maybe rare) occasions, these creatures from Venus would wolf down the meal. You can almost tell that she's a voracious eater at home, or is one "hungry-belly girl" thanking her good fortune someone has come along to buy her a meal.

But it is my observation that generally, a romantic dinner for her is just the mere delight of dining out in a Posh Hotel and enjoying the atmosphere.

And...

To heck with the food!

So, what's your observation?
