Thanks to globalization, the many cultures of the world are at our fingertips more than ever.

If you're looking to spice up your love life, use globalization to your advantage and travel around the world in seven great dates.

Go Salsa Dancing
Shake those hips and glide your partner across the floor! Sure, you many not be ready for Dancing with the Stars, but dancing together is a great bonding experience. Some dance studios offer one-time lessons for beginners that you can take advantage of. Or, forgo the lesson and show up at a Salsa club. There's no need to know exactly what you're doing - just follow the crowd! Even if you can't dance, the atmosphere of the place will make for a memorable night.

Make Some Pasta
Show off your domestic side by cooking up an Italian specialty. If you live near a shop that makes pasta, ask if they'll give you a tour and show you how they make their noodles, then buy a package to make for dinner. Don't have a specialty store near you? Chain stores like Wal-Mart sell pasta makers- muddle through the directions together and you're sure to have an interesting dinner! Mange!
