Yes we would all love to have a romantic picnic on a deserted Caribbean beach with the person of our dreams but romance begins closer to home with tips such as these:
- 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
- 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
- Listen to the clues your partner gives you, such as things they like and books they read and buy little gifts
- Keep being romantic. In a good relationship, romance never ends
- 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 and invest quality time doing the things you share and both enjoy
- 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
- Don’t be a cold fish. Learn how to hug, cuddle and make physical contact. Touching without sex is far more romantic but don’t always hug without kissing!
- Kiss your date and learn to appreciate the finer qualities of kissing for its own sake
- Dance together when the occasion arises and show them special attention
- Hold hands and do anything make your partner feel close to you
- Hold and hug your partner in bed, especially after sex
- Talk chat and converse about anything and everything
- Allow your partner to breathe 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 my friend. 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. I’d rather receive a handmade card any day than an expensive gift
- Anticipate your partner’s wishes and desires to show them you are listening to them and that you care
- Expect rightfully that romance is a two-way process though the romance you provide is simply giving of yourself
