- If you've found yourselves spending a lot of time going out and trying the restaurants and cafes your town has to offer, you might switch things up and make a meal in. You can show off your prowess in the kitchen - prepare a special dish you feel confident in making. This probably isn't the time to make a souffle for the first time, lest the whole thing collapses moments before she's due to arrive. For an added bit of fun, you can make the meal together, perhaps heading together to the farmer's market and the wine shop earlier in the day to get inspiration.
- Introduce variety into your routine by making a date for the middle of the day. A picnic in your local park or arboretum gives you time and space to communicate and enjoy amid the beauty of nature. Pack your basket, remembering cutlery, plates and a corkscrew, and don't forget to bring a blanket. Having a specific place in mind within the park can also help the process move along smoothly.
- One should tread lightly when it comes to giving gifts at this point. You've got a lot of new feelings rushing around, and you might be willing to pull the stars out of the night sky at this point for your new beau or belle. However, you don't want to go over the top, and, after all, a month really isn't that long. If you do give her a gift, focus on sentiment instead of cost, as you don't want your honest expression to be mistaken as too large a commitment.
- According to sex therapist Ian Kerner, PhD, new and exciting experiences shared can increase attraction and bonds between people. Maybe you could get your adrenaline pumping to mark your first month: bungee jumping and roller coasters are fun activities that you can share to get your hearts racing, perhaps in more ways than one.
