First, an explanation for anyone unfamiliar with the concept. To go parking means to literally drive off somewhere, preferably private, dark, quiet, and as secluded as you can find. The traditional locales are overlooks, parks, near the beach, anywhere there has a pretty view--beyond that of your partner's eyes, that is. You may wish to keep this as a twosome ritual, visiting the same place each date. Of course, there are no strict guidelines, just suggestions for creating optimal conditions! Once the location is set, it's time to unwind for intimate bonding in the wild- -right there, in the vehicle.
OK, so there you are, with you honey in your special "make out" spot. Now it's up to you what happens from then on. Just settle in for some sharing on various levels, some physical, some verbal. It's really important to blend the two, to not only feel wonderful sensations, but to express to each other how you feel.
Options for the rest of your date include: cuddling and snuggling; touching--holding hands, caressing your partner, giving neck or foot massages, etc.; kissing; communicating, of course; dreaming aloud (planning your future, sharing fantasies, etc.); feeding each other some candy; making each other one special promise; looking into each other's eyes; watching the stars or clouds (being caught in rain or a thunderstorm is fun, too!); relaxing into each other.
The idea is just to separate yourselves from the monotony, noise, and distractions of every day life. Leave the phone, TV, the kids (with a sitter or relative), chores, and responsibilities behind for a little while. Just focus on each other, exclusively. Note: Remove or turn off the pagers and cell phones, too! Radio, heater, or air conditioner are fine if needed.
Talk about how you feel, physically and emotionally. If your relationship has experienced some strain lately, this is the perfect chance to open up and make a plan for improvement. If you live together, discuss what you most enjoyed or appreciated that week, what you'd like to do together, where you'd like to go, what you need to work on, and so forth. Just let the conversations and closeness flow as it may. Even when you haven't anything vital to chat about, being "in touch" can be quite renewing.
