First of all, I think Chinese food can be very romantic.  A candlelit
dinner, hot tea and GOOD chinese food can create a very sensual and
romantic mood.
On the other hand, some of you may not be good cooks of chinese food, or 
you might feel that a carryout candlelit dinner is too tacky.  In that
case, I have a suggestion that I often use when I want to have a romantic
atmosphere.  Again candles, rolled breast of chicken (not chicken roll, but
a boned breast), flavored rice, a light salad (Italian dressing preferred, 
remember, keep it light!) and perhaps just a little wine.  Use good dishes
and silver, and use crystal glasses( if you have them) in which you serve
ice cold water from a crystal pitcher.  Serving just water allows you to enjoy
the true flavor of the food.  The chicken should be lightly sprinkled with
paprika, and the rice should be cooked in chicken broth to make it flavorful.
Fresh flowers on the table also make a nice touch.  Soft music in the 
background is good too.
