You can Be Romantic.
Why is it that so many people believe that they don't have time
or take the initiative to be romantic? Maybe most people don't
believe that they are creative enough to be romantic. Everyone
is creative! The definition of being creative is having the
ability or power to create. The word create offers a much
broader definition than most people accept when it comes to the
process of being able to come up with something original or
simply well thought out.
Gifts that are considered to be traditionally romantic like
candy and flowers are wonderful, but sometimes you need
something that goes one step further. If your spouse enjoys
flowers, you don't have to settle for roses because they can
sometimes become unexciting after a while! Present him or her
with something completely original such as a daisy or another
flower where petals can be counted. Ask him or her to play the
childhood game of 'they love me, they love me not' and watch
them pluck the petals as they go. However, don't allow for the
possibility of him or her arriving at the 'they love me not'.
Count the petals before you present the flower to your spouse
and trim it so that there is an odd number of petals for the
right outcome!
Arts and crafts used to be a fun break from the monotony of the
school day, but believe it or not, it will come in handy when it
comes to creative romantic gestures. Instead of promising that
you will love him or her forever, show them. Take a piece of
paper, ribbon or other material you choose and write "I love
you" on both sides from end to end. Twist the paper 180 degrees
and connect both ends of the paper until you have mad what looks
like the figure eight. Tape or glue to ends together. You can
present your love with a symbol that shows them your love for
them is an endless love.
Creativity comes in many different forms! Being creative can
mean creating an atmosphere. If you want to plan the ultimate
romantic evening but funds are low or you simply don't want to
have to leave the house, shut down the electricity and imitate a
power outage (it's up to you whether or not you tell him or
her!). You won't have any distractions or heat, so it is up to
both of you to keep the other warm and entertain each other.
Maybe romance is on your mind, but he or she is going out of
town. Did you know that people on airplanes are typically
hopeless romantics? Any flight attendant would be more than
happy to make sure that your spouse receives a special present
after the flight has left the ground. Simply approach a
crewmember after he or she boards the plane and they are usually
more than happy to oblige a hopeless romantic like you! (You
might want to make sure that the gift is unwrapped or keep it to
a single rose due to heightened security.)
Creativity doesn't have to come in the form of gifts every
single time. Gestures like getting up and dancing with your
spouse when a special song comes on the radio is quite creative
and incredibly romantic! Whenever the mood strikes you, allow
your creative juices to flow!
