However, after learning a new skill, you can really get your honey's mouth to drop if you plan a very special meal just for him. Set the mood for love—buy some candles, pop open a great bottle of wine, and have a little mood music ready.

Make the setting even more romantic by keeping the work you've done under wraps. Who wants to stare at a pile of dirty dishes as they eat?

You probably won't have time to clean up before serving dinner, so if you don't have a separate dining room, set up a card table in the living room. With the lights dimmed and rose petals sprinkled around, it'll seem like a four-star restaurant.

Remember, however, that you boyfriend will be focused the most on the food. Prepare everything to perfection and be sure to keep courses hot. Enlist a friend to help you prep during the day if you're still a little nervous.

Don't worry too much though—even if you burn dinner, it's the thought that counts.

When your boyfriend get that first bite, he'll see how much effort you're putting into making the relationship work. Love is only a pork chop away.
