It depends where you are in the world, is it cold or warm? If it's warm, an outdoor location with a warm blanket should be cosy enough, somewhere with plenty of stars to gaze at, take a few candles in holders (wind could blow them out), some wine maybe even mint tea, perhaps a flower to offer to your date. If it's too cold, a cosy café-bar with an intimate feel, somewhere with an ethnic mood and soft music(smouldering lights and warm colours) is perfect...also that doesn't get too full of course. All of this would work for me.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
