You wanna cook? Let me know what you're interested in, I've got years of Cooks Illustrated magazines with recipes that will definitely impress someone.
Hell, I think my wife married me largely because I cook.
A few suggestions: Pepper-encrusted filet mingnon with a port-cherry reduction sauce served with blue cheese and carmelized onion mashed potatoes and some broiled green beans.
Or Chicken Kiev (pounded chicken breasts wrapped around a compound butter, breaded and baked until crispy) with a baked goat cheese salad.
Pick a good wine to go with the meal, and don't forget the dessert. Chocolate is always good, but since it's summer you can also go with fruits etc.
Pick something that will allow you to do most if not all of your prep well ahead of time so that you look organized and you aren't focused on the cooking instead of her.
I've got plenty of experience in this area, so go ahead and pick my brain if you would like.
