75 Okay, lets say youve decided to give her the complete collection
of The Moody Blues (her all-time favorite group) albums. Lets now give this gift a creative twist. Instead of simply wrapping the CDs and handing them to her, do this: Remove the CDs from their cases. Hide the CDs around the house. Gift-wrap all the CD cases separately. Attach a note to each gift Each note gives clues to the location of the CD And each notes clues are based on each albums title. Days of Future Passed is hidden in a photo album. To Our Childrens Childrens Children is in the kids toy box. On the Threshold of a Dream is hidden in your bedroom. Long Distance Voyager is hidden along with airline tickets to Tahiti.

A do-it-yourself romantic Saturday afternoon: 2
bicycles, 5 hours, 1 bottle of wine. A do-it-yourself romantic date: 2 movie tickets, 1 Tub-o-Popcorn, 2 Cokes. A do-it-yourself romantic picnic: 1 loaf of bread, 1 hunk of cheese, 1 bottle of wine. A do-it-yourself romantic Sunday afternoon: 1 canoe, 1 lazy day, 2 starstruck lovers.

78 Pay close attention to the subtle signals,

the non-verbal clues, the body language and tone of voice that your lover uses.

79 Anticipate your partner.

Is he stressed at work? Would he like a
back rub or time alone? Does she need a dinner out or a movie in? Does he need extra sleep or a surprise lovemaking session? Take extra good care of her during the most difficult days of her menstrual cycle. If some form of romance is not on your To Do list, you may want to re-evaluate your priorities.
