Probably one of the most frequented and obvious spots on the list - Highland Park offers a romantic view of the city just steps away from some of the best restaurants.

Is this too freaky? Are we allowed to say this? It always sounds like a good drunk option, but it will likely lead to you being asked to leave.

Any Major Sporting Event
It's your time to shine! Getting on the kiss cam seems like a rare opportunity, but let's all hope it goes as planned should it happen.

Butler-Tarkington | 700 38th St.
There's just something so romantic about a cemetery, right? Take your partner to one of the highest points in Indy and kiss them at James Whitcomb Riley's tomb.

Newfields | 4000 N Michigan Rd.
Maybe don't full on make out here on a busy day, but it's a great place to sneak a kiss or two while on a date.

Mile Square | 20 N Meridian St.
Some may balk at the idea of getting romantic at a cigar bar, but most concur that Nicky Blaine's can give you what matters most: delicious, stiff drinks and a dimly lit environment in which to consume them.

Once you've hit a couple of bars on Mass Ave, stop and take in the romantic views the city has to offer or dip in an alley for some quick private smooches.
Broad Ripple
Step off the beatin' path from the Broad Ripple chaos for a romantic moment on the famous rainbow bridge!

The Lawn
Ruoff Music Center & Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park
You'll always catch couples locking lips in the lawn at concerts. Sometimes it's the romantic music; sometimes it's the liquor; either way, it's a great location to fill the air with love. (Keep it PG for the kids, ya freaks!)
