A successful first date usually means that you found some sort of connection. Either that or you just felt sorry for the other person and simply could not refuse when they asked you out again.

Since you are reading this article, I am going to assume that you are definitely interested in the person you are dating. So how do take the second date from ordinary, to extraordinary?

Easy - amp up the romance with these 5 strategies for a sexier and steamier date.

1. Take a Latin Dance Class Together
There is nothing steamier than getting up close and personal with your date in a Salsa class. The Latins really know how to amp up the romance with moves that will have your hips shaking and knees rubbing together for the entirety of the class. There are tons of drop in Latin dance classes in every major city, so be sure to check one out.

2. Visit a Hot Tub Spa
Water is one of the world's greatest aphrodisiac and the spa is a great place to enjoy the playfulness of getting half-naked with each other. There are plenty of mineral pools and spas that offer hot tub experiences. So tell your guy/girl to bring their swimsuit for a date they will never forget.

3. Take a Workout Class Together

Not only is it extremely sexy to watch your date work out in tight clothes, scientists have found that exercise increases the sexual appetite of both men and women. This is due to increased levels of testosterone produced during an exercise routine, a powerful hormone that increases sexual desire for both sexes. So the next time you consider doing your aerobics routine before that date, you may want to consider dragging your date along. You will not regret it!

4. Erotica-fy the Date
Feeling adventurous? Take your date to a whole new level and explore the wonderful world or erotica. Visit the adult section of a local bookstore, go to an X-rated comedy show, or pick a movie on TV that features various scenes of soft-core sensuality. If this does not steam things up, I don't know what else will.

5. Create the Romance
Take the time to show that you are more than just a great looking package. With a few candles, a home cooked dinner, and a nice bottle of wine, you can seriously amp up the romance on your second date. This may sound simple, and cheesy, but the reality is that almost 90% of what people find attractive in a person on the second date is conversation related.
