Indulge In An Intimate Eatery
Celebrate your relationship through fine dining! I love it when a man schedules reservations ahead of time at a white tablecloth restaurant that bolsters a beautiful atmosphere and an expanded wine selection. If your girl is anything like me, she’s been itching to get dolled up for a romantic date night. Treating your girl on an occasion is a sure-fire way to spark up sexy time. Below are some fancy yet affordable date night spots in Chicago.
