If you have a significant other, I highly recommend you keep the spark
of your relationship alive by finding ways to show your partner how
much you appreciate him or her every day.
Lets look at a couple of very important points about being romantic.
The following paragraphs will help you understand how to be romantic.
Weekly datesI recommend you have at least one date every week
with your partner. It doesnt have to be an expensive one, but at least
find some way to spend a couple hours of time together.
CommunicateRomantic gestures dont take the place of real
communication. Take time to talk about your goals, your dreams, your
plans for the future, things youre happy about, things youd like to
work on, and things youre grateful for.
Forget ValentinesBoycott Valentines Day because it makes people
think they should be romantic only on special occasions. Instead, do
something sweet or romantic every day.
