户外冒险

Outdoor Adventure:
Horseback Riding is a classically romantic thing to do with your lover, so if you don’t know how, find stables in your area that offer lessons. After you learn how, you can take romantic rides with just your partner. Plan an entire day around riding. Start in the morning and explore nearby woods or trails. Take a break to pick flowers or have a picnic before heading back.

户外冒险：

骑马：和恋人一起骑马是种经典的浪漫行为。如果你们不会骑，去找找附近教授马术的马场。在你们学会之后，就可以一起浪漫的骑马啦！做好全天骑马的计划。早晨开始，去探寻附近的林荫小径。再返回之前休息会儿，摘点野花或者进行野餐。

A Day of Sailing
Taking a lady sailing is the perfect way to romance her. Just a few tips from an instructor and you’ll be ready to impress. Taking a lesson together is cool too, because you are both learning new skills and it’s relatively inexpensive. How about free sailing? If you call local sailing clubs, you can usually arrange free crewing on regatta days. It’s a great way to meat new people and sailing skills are not always expected. Lastly, try composing a message in a bottle with your date and send it off together; you may be pleasantly reminded of the date by mail months or years later!

全天航海

带女士去航海是让她感到浪漫的完美方法。只要在指导书里看点儿注意事项，你就能整装待发啦。一起上课也很帅，你们能一起学到新技能而且花费相对不贵。自由航行呢？要是你打造访当地航海俱乐部，通常能在赛舟日遇到自由的船员。这是个结交朋友的好办法，而且通常不需要具备航海技能。最后，和你的恋人一起写张便条装进漂流瓶里，也许在数月或多年的漂流后，它还能让你们愉快的回想起这次约会。

Target Shooting: Learning to shoot is really fun. Use already-made targets, posters, or set up an outside course with balloons (water balloons are fun!) to shoot at. Compete with your partner to see who is the better shot and have a reward for the winner!

全天射击

打靶：学习射击非常有趣。射击已有的目标、海报，或者在户外用气球（装了水的气球更好玩！）。跟你的伴侣比赛，看看谁射得更好，还要为胜利者准备奖品！

A Day at the Range
As crazy as it sounds, taking a date to a rifle range is very romantic! Don't let her know where you are going, but of course make sure she isn’t afraid of guns. Bring or rent a variety of guns. Its a different experience and something she would never expect. I brought my girlfriend to a gun range and had her to shoot some of the guns and she loved it! It was the first time she had ever shot a high powered rifle. This is also very fun when done with other couples.

全天射击

听起来很疯狂，去步枪射击场约会非常浪漫！别让她知道你们去哪儿，但得确定她不害怕枪支。带上各种枪，或者租一些。这是她从未感受过的、绝然不同的体验。我曾带女友去射击场并让她试射了一些枪支，她很喜欢！这是她第一次用大威力步枪射击。与其它情侣一起这样玩也是很有趣的。

Healthy Living and Physical Fitness:
People who are physically active are happier and able to deal with stress better than people who aren't. We don’t often think of the state of our bodies as effecting our emotions, but it really does. Introducing healthy living practices into your life can make a lasting difference in the way that you deal with life’s challenges as well as giving you more energy to do what you want to do.

积极运动的人比不爱运动的人更开心，还能更好的应对压力。我们常常以为身体情况并不影响我们的情绪，但它确实影响着。把健康的生活方式实践于你的生活,将为你对应生活挑战的方式带来持续的不同，当你做喜好的事情时还能为你带来更多的能量。

No matter the age, people have strong physiological reactions to skin-to-skin contact, suggesting that it is a natural need, not just a desire.

按摩：你可以从专业按摩师那儿学到按摩技巧并为你的伴侣服务。必要的时候你们可以相互为对放松或者复健。同样，你可以学习如何使用反射理论减轻痛苦和压力。如果你们有孩子，考虑一起参加婴儿按摩班吧。无论多大年纪的人，总是对肌肤接触有强烈的反应，就把它当作自然的生理需要而不只是欲望吧。
