There are lots of definitions for romance, but those that refer to feelings of excitement associated with love are the best. This excitement can be very playful or intense. If you are a natural romantic, you have it within you to keep your relationship going strong for a long time to come. If you aren't, it can become second nature with some practice.
1.) Hundreds of years ago, love letters and love poetry were an artistic production. They are unfashionable now, but things old fashioned and romance seem to go together. Buy a book of love poems, pick one poem and alter it so that she'll think that it was penned by you.
Place it inside of a box of pricey chocolates and gift wrap it.
2.) Go and do something completely unexpected. Women like to be surprised. The thing about surprises is that you are going to do something that you normally wouldn't do.
It may mean getting out of your zone of comfort a bit. If you are the stay-at-home type then try spending the evening (or weekend) on a well planned romantic outing. Planning in advance is important because without one, you'll just rely on the same old routines.
Doing the same old stuff isn't what a surprise is about. There's nothing more unromantic than saying: "So, now what?"
If you're the pragmatic, unromantic type, this can be especially hard to do. However, you have a major advantage over the more practiced romantics: any romantic gesture coming from you will be huge to her since it's the least likely thing that she's expecting from you. The element of surprise is in your court.
3.) If her work week was very stressful, then get up early on Saturday morning and cook breakfast for her. Carry it to her bedside on a fancy tray for some breakfast in bed. Depending on her level of exhaustion, you may want to allow her some quiet time reading her favorite book or magazine.
4.) A simple fireplace is a potent ingredient for a romantic evening especially in the winter. A cheery fire combined with wine, champagne, a comfy love seat, and dimmed lights will produce the ideal ambiance for romance. This works even better if it is part of a getaway such as a skiing lodge, a log cabin, or a high-class hotel.
5.) When you're dealing with romance, you don't always have to hit the ball out of the park. Big, grand romantic gestures certainly work but can be hard to keep up on a daily basis. This is when frequent small gestures are used.
Women value the small gestures and the large gestures equally. So keep up with the compliments, kisses, caresses and expressions of appreciation. - 15784
