So, I recently got into this play and I have THE biggest crush on my characters lover. Anyways, me and him were talking about other drama things we'd done and then we got onto the topic of Shakespeare Festival and we agreed to be partners. If anyone has any good male/female duologues please post the here! Origionally I really wanted a big romantic-y scene, but now I'm more like 'you know, romantic and beautiful would be cool, but so would something that can show off my talents. So yeah, any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers everyone!

You could find something useful in nearly any of the plays. However, I'll give you a couple of off-the-beaten-track suggestions:
Queen Margaret/Suffolk (Henry VI, pt. 2 -- Act 3, scene ii). Margaret is the French woman who was brought over to be Henry's wife; an arranged marriage. Henry VI is a woefully weak King, who is in the process of losing everything that his illustrious father, Henry V, gained. Margaret and Suffolk are lovers, and this little exchange (towards the end of the scene) takes place immediately after Henry has banished Suffolk.
Benedick/Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing -- Act IV, scene i). Benedick and Beatrice have a brief exchange at the tail end of the wedding scene, during which Claudio renounces Hero. It's a very sweet scene...bearing in mind that both Benedick and Beatrice have been DUPED by their friends into believing that the other person is in love with them.

Ther is a lovely scene between Benedick and Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing"
It is immediately after Hero has been shamed at her wedding by her fiancee.
Ben and Bea are left alone, and they have had a rocky relationship previously, but now, . . .
It begins;
"Lady Beatrice, have you wept all this while, and continues to the end of the scene.
It is romantic, and funny, and hurtful. Some of Bill's best work.

It's not very long, but it's from Midsummer Night's Dream Act IV Scene I. I think this is one of the sexiest scenes in Shakespeare. Theseus & Hippolyta are looking forward to the start of their marriage & honeymoon later that night, but in the meantime they are out hunting, i.e. stalling until they can "do the deed." So if you think of the description of the hunts they speak of as the physical side of their desires, it takes on a whole new dimension.
Good luck.
THESEUS Go, one of you, find out the forester;
For now our observation is perform'd;
And since we have the vaward of the day,
My love shall hear the music of my hounds.
Uncouple in the western valley; let them go:
Dispatch, I say, and find the forester.
Exit an Attendant
We will, fair queen, up to the mountain's top,
And mark the musical confusion
Of hounds and echo in conjunction.
HIPPOLYTA I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bay'd the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding: for, besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seem'd all one mutual cry: I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.
THESEUS My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind,
So flew'd, so sanded, and their heads are hung
With ears that sweep away the morning dew;
Crook-knee'd, and dew-lapp'd like Thessalian bulls;
Slow in pursuit, but match'd in mouth like bells,
Each under each. A cry more tuneable
Was never holla'd to, nor cheer'd with horn,
In Crete, in Sparta, nor in Thessaly:
Judge when you hear.
