Light the Path to Love

Pin It

Candles, check. Hot water, check. Soft music, check. Ok, let's get ready for some sexy.

The next time your partner comes over, have a note waiting on the front door that reads "Ring the doorbell and come in." "Why?" you ask in wide-eyed wonder. Because you'll already be busy in the...wait, I don't want to ruin the surprise. Ok, so your partner sees the note and does indeed come in where they're greeted by a line of candles snaking off into the darkness. Following the trail to a closed door, they notice flickering light leaking from below and quickly lick their lips in anticipation before reaching for the knob. Can you picture that big grin spreading from ear to ear as they realize this will not be an ordinary night? Inside is a room bathed in candle light, soft music, and you soaking in a bubble bath with a glass of champagne in one hand and not much else in the other. "Care to join me?" you say in a Hollywood-sexy voice. They reach for the champagne and smile, because life just got good.

When I sat down to write this one up I was torn between the finale being you waiting in a bubble bath or standing next to the bed with an interesting outfit and massage oil. My gut tells me it's better for a guy to be waiting with massage oil and a girl to be in the bath, but your gut may disagree. And I'm guessing neither will be a failure. Just be careful placing candles around the house. We're shooting for no fires here people. Safety first.
