Romance for Seniors

With age comes years of experience.

Romance knows no age, nor does it pay any attention to mobility!

Romance for seniors can be fun no matter what your limitations are.  We’ve compiled a list of romantic ideas for seniors that will let you and your sweetie fall more in love with each passing day!

• Go to a local winery, if you have one in your area.  Enjoy the wine tasting and browse the shelves.  Then buy a bottle, and take a drive to a nearby location and buy some cheese and bread.  Share the feast together on a park bench or even in your car watching the sunset over some beautiful hillside, and listening to a romantic CD in your car.

• Check out the seniors trips in your area.  Many companies offer a nice day on the road with a visit to a special restaurant and maybe even a show.  Bring along some snacks for the bus ride and wear comfortable walking shoes and buy your love a special memento in a shop to remind her/him of the day you spent together.

• If you live close to a local park with ponds and paddleboats or rowboats, and you are up for the challenge, take a nice ride on a clear day and serenade your love by singing, if you are so inclined.  Or by bringing a portable CD player with a stack of your favorite love songs.

• Read to each other over coffee or a glass of wine.  There is nothing more intimate and romantic than reading love sonnets or a great romantic story.  You can take turns reading aloud, while your partner enjoys their wine.  Perhaps you can even play a great, relaxing classic piano CD or some nice instrumental music in the background for mood!
• If you don’t like to read aloud, get a book on tape of your favorite, romantic novel and listen together while sipping wine and watching a fire crackle in the fireplace.

• Start a local ‘date club’ with other seniors.  A good place to get this going is by attending a monthly or weekly seniors club meeting in your community or an event where you know you will run into other seniors.  Print fliers to give them information on what you have in mind or just talk to them about it.  The idea is to get a group of people together – they don’t have to be married or even in love, just willing to DATE for an evening.

Then you and others come up with ideas of places to go and meet as couples, OR to go as a group on a rented van or bus for a date.  You can start small with a local coffee shop or restaurant and a movie you all want to see, or you can have everyone over to your house for movie night.  Everyone brings a potluck dish or a bottle of wine or a dessert (if you want to do just dessert and coffee) and you enjoy the movie together.  Engage everyone in the planning so you don’t have to do all the work and watch it take off!

Whatever you can create and imagine can be done.  There are absolutely no limitations to showing  your romantic feelings at any age.  Being romantic as a senior is no exception.  For more great romantic ideas and tips, make sure you sign up for our free mini-course on the right.  You’ll get 10 lessons on more great romantic ideas to keep the romance alive between you and your soul-mate through all your years.
