Understand what romance means and why it is important, and
learn what romantic aspects there are to your own character.
No one has a heart made of stone, however tough their exterior.
Understand that romance
is not the sole domain of women and that men who are romantic
are far more successful when dating
Romance has nothing whatsoever
to do with masculinity. In fact, being romantic can enhance
your masculinity and reputation with girls.
Not all women are naturally
romantic either, but that doesn't have to be the case.
The key to being romantic
is thoughtfulness. So start being a little less thoughtless
and selfish.
Communicate with your
partner on every level and anticipate their desires and needs.
Look at your partner when
they are talking and hold their gaze
Learn that mood, location,
situation and ambience can heighten romance with dramatic
effect
Phone just to say hello,
I love you, and surprise your partner
Learn to say, I love
you and mean it. Don't say it ever, if you don't mean it
Send them notes and small
cards telling them you are thinking of them – don’t
discount coat pockets and lunch boxes as great receptacles!
Be spontaneous and do
little deeds that show you are thinking about them
Start going for walks
together, whatever the weather
Put
your partner first, particularly as a surprise with a spontaneous
trip away
Think creatively and
plan a surprise weekend away
Buy flowers any time
of the year, nice ones not just roses
Remember birthdays, anniversaries
and landmark days such as the day you first met and plan something
Plan a weekend in the
country at a picturesque hotel – log fires, four poster
beds and champagne do wonders!
Give your partner a book of love poems, suitably inscribed.
Even better if you can recite some of it.
Listen to the clues your
partner gives you, such as things they like and books they
read as a guide for appropriate little gifts
Compromise. Putting yourself
first is not romantic.
Write him/her a letter
and let them know that you love them and you mean it.People
send far few letters these days. Use good quality stationery
too.
Watch romantic movies
together
Make cards rather than
buying them. It shows thought and inspiration.
Take your partner on
a picnic to the park or beach and prepare in advance without
involving them. Initiative illustrates romance nicely
Do you like the idea
of a picnic outdoors but the weather is awful? Why not have
an indoor picnic and have a romantic afternoon in your own
front room!
Don't be a cold fish.
Learn how to hug, cuddle and make physical contact. Touching
without making love is far more romantic.
Kiss your date and learn
to appreciate the finer qualities of kissing for its own sake
Dance
together when the occasion arises – knowing how to waltz
is very impressive!
Hold hands and do anything
to make your partner feel close to you
Hold and hug your partner
in bed, especially after making love
A delicious breakfast,
served in bed, is very touching – don’t forget
good presentation and a flower!
Talk, chat and converse
about anything and everything
Allow your partner breathing
space, and do separate things to heighten the sense of romance
when you are together
If you don't cook dinner
for your date, start learning. A surprise dinner with candles
is romantic
Buy small gifts spontaneously
that show great thought in what they enjoy. But not too many
otherwise it has the opposite effect
Remember that romance
is often about giving of yourself, even if it is simply your
precious time when you could have had other plans. Making
your partner a priority is vital
Do things that make you
both laugh. Laughter and romance go hand in hand
Remember that romance
is in the small details and does not need to be expensive
in any way.
Anticipate your partner's wishes and desires to show them
you are listening to them and that you care
Run a bath, using luxury
bath products, ready for your partner’s arrival after
a hard day’s work – decorate the bathroom with
lots of candles, and have soft music playing. Champagne on
ice might be nice too.
Blindfold your partner
and take them for a drive to the places that are special to
you. Drive them to the place where you first met, the place
where you became a couple, the place where you got engaged,
or anywhere else that is special to you. Explain to them why
each place is special to you, and then arrange your trip to
end at your favourite romantic restaurant for a nice meal
together.
Create a CD-ROM on your
computer of music that is special to your partner. Using a
microphone on your computer, record a personal message to
your partner about how much you love them and what they mean
to you. Insert the audio track of your voice in between the
musical tracks of the CD and post it/give it to your partner.
They won't be expecting to hear you on the CD and should be
bowled over!
If your partner has to
go away, make them a going away present. Write or get a poem,
and cut into phrases. Put it into little envelopes and write
the date for each day he/she is gone on each envelope. Tell
them for every day they are gone they will get to open a different
envelope and see a little sentence of love. By the end of
their trip…they will have a romantic poem.
Put a single red rose
on the seat of your lover's car before they go to work.
Trust each other. Without
trust, there is no love and no relationship. Deceit and love
cannot coexist.
Compatibility is vital,
yet it is something that many relationships lack. In a relationship
you must know your own needs, plus the needs of your mate.
If one is not satisfied a strain will be felt in the relationship.
It is impossible to like everything your mate does, however
too many different interests and tastes will weaken the bond.
Compatibility will never
be perfect. We are all imperfect, and have faults. Some of
these faults we see early, and others not until later. The
couple that is truly compatible and have developed a friendship,
will deal with problems accordingly. The love must be strong
enough to endure, and the good must outweigh the bad. This
results in a strong, solid foundation.
Have a journal in a prominent
place. Write each other love notes about anything, including
what you love about each other, memories of your first date,
or a thank-you for completed chores or tasks.
Laughter is the best
medicine. The couple who laugh together, stay together. Keep
humour in the house and don’t take life too seriously.
You might as well make it fun.
