- While walking in the city, take moments to appreciate your surroundings and each other's company. Also, watch out for popular landmarks and make sure to capture some romantic photos against the setting sun.
- Finally, remember that the whole idea of the date is to enjoy and communicate. Even if your paella didn't turn out perfect, laugh it off and enjoy the meal. Relax, put on a genuine smile, and show appreciation for your partner during the date.
