Ten Starter Tips for Romance Every Day of the Year
Wondering how to be romantic and creative with your
partner or date? Perhaps you are single and interested in dating
someone and want to show your interest. Maybe you are in a
committed relationship and feeling burdened by work and don't
have time nor the funds to whip up a second honeymoon. Either
way, you care about your partner and would like to show it, but
may not have a clue as to what you should be doing. Good news! I
am here to provide some romantic suggestions that work for both
genders. Once you read a few, you'll be able to come up with
your own ideas - inexpensive, more original than flowers, more
memorable than a Rolex - and suitable for every day of the year.
1. Grocery shopping for dinner with a new date? Remember what he
or she likes, then plan to have some of the same items on hand
for your next visit. Hold hands at the checkout counter. 2. In a
traffic jam? Even if you two are simply waiting for the light to
change in the car or crossing the street, lean over and give a
kiss. You'll get a smile a response. 3. Busy schedule? Meet your
mate at the door with his/her slippers, bathrobe, and a soothing
drink. 3a. Same as number 3, but add wearing your own slippers,
bathrobe, etc. 4. Little spontaneous notes can be packed in with
lunches, placed near the coffee pot, left on a pillow, even
taped to the bathroom mirror. 5. Always unlock the car door for
your partner. If you are the driver, open the passenger door
first. If you are seated in the car, reach over and unlock the
other door. 6. Can't afford a romantic getaway? Enjoy a cozy
evening at home - just the two of you - and PLAN one. There is
much fun to be had in the planning. You'll see. 7. Call him/her
when you witness or think of something funny during your day.
(Note: don't have a cell phone? It is time to get one.) 8. Share
a picnic. If the weather isn't cooperating, spread a blanket and
big, fluffy pillow on the living room floor and have a picnic
there! 9. At least once a day, find a reason to thank your
partner. Whether it is for taking you on a date, taking out the
garbage, being your best friend, or simply just for making you
smile, say thank you. 10. Sit or play outside together. It
doesn't have to be a sunset cruise to be memorable. You don't
have to climb Mt. Everest for excitement. Let nature take its
course. It is easy as gazing at the stars.
The above covers only a fraction of the possibilities. It
should, however, be enough to get you started. Try a few. You'll
find that you come up with your own ideas easily. Best of all,
your relationship will stay fresh and be enhanced as well. So,
let's get creative, shall we? Here's to your romance!
