Here are some suggestions to keep from panicking for guys and girls and keep that love-vibe flowing. Top 5S Romantic Gifts 5.Chocolate!Chocolate! Chocolate!: the best way to the heart is through the stomach, or the sweet tooth. 4. Flowers: you can't go wrong with brilliantly colored flowers, but just make sure they aren't dead, that might send the wrong message 3. Something Sensual: reasons why you love your sweetheart, or an IOU booklet filled with love coupons. For example: this coupon can be redeemed for one ten-minute back massage. You can have fun with this one! 2. A special, romantic, candle- light dinner (see romantic places): to melt your love's heart in your hand + 1.

Classic Dinner and a movie: go to your favorite restaurant, or the place where you two first met, then see a gushy romantic chick flick. Your love will be all over you 4. Dave and Busters: Located on the Delaware River, near Penn's Landing, this place promises great food and fun, but there is a catch. You have to be over 21 to enter with- out an adult (I learned this the hard way) and after 9 p.m., they kick out those who aren't 21.
