* Whatever you want, just make notes to help you define it.

Way to be Romantic

The ways of be romantic listed below are loosely based on the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. Romantic tip number one: Read the book together and discover your love languages.

Just Called to Say Love You

One of the easiest ways to be romantic is to tell your partner that you love her, but instead of saying the words without much feeling, consider some more interesting alternatives:

* Write a love letter and mail it to your partner. If you live together, make sure your lover checks the mail when it arrives.
* Call your lover in the middle of the day just to say you love her.
* Sing a love song for your partner.
* Send flowers along with a short love note.
* Tell your partner all of the things you love about them.


Time After Time

Spending time together seems like a given in a relationship, so how could it be romantic? Well, just how significant is time spent sitting together in silence, watching TV? Think quality time instead—and here are some ideas to help you get started:

* Go for a walk together in the park.
* Turn off all of the electronics in the house and focus on each other.
* Make reservations at a fancy restaurant. Ask your partner to dress up for dinner but don’t mention which restaurant you are taking her to.
* Plan a date for the afternoon and keep the activity a surprise until you arrive.
* Participate in a hobby that your partner enjoys or attend an event that you know he enjoys.
* Have a game night. Play board or video games with each other.
* Take turns reading to each other.
* Listen to music and dance in your living room.


Material Girl

Some people love to receive gifts because of the thought involved in selecting or making the gift. If your girl (or boy) is into material things, here are some ways to impress:

* Buy some small gifts and give one to her each day for a whole week.
* Take her to the mall and observe carefully the items she is interested in. Go back to the mall without her, and buy an item as a surprise.
* Make a card for your partner.
* Use your artistic or craft skills to make a special gift.


Everything I Do…For You

Who could’ve known that taking out the garbage is a romance starter for some people? Your acts of service don’t have to stop there. Once the trash is emptied, come back inside, wash your hands, and then get started on some of these suggestions:

* Make her breakfast in bed.
* Cook a romantic candlelight dinner.
* Take his car when he isn’t using it and have it washed and waxed.
* If your partner normally does a household chore, do the chore for her.
* Hire a cleaning service for a month to give your partner a break.
* Make cards that list a duty you will perform and explain that card can be redeemed at any time.


Lets Get Physical

Finally—the good stuff! Various forms of physical touch are likely a part of your relationship already. Over time though, the romance can be lost when you kiss or have sex. Rekindle your love for each other with these tips:

* Hold hands in public.
* Give your lover a massage.
* Take a bubble bath together.
* Rub lotion all over her body.
* Make-out but refrain from having sex. Focus on all the other ways you can do to give each other pleasure.
* Sit apart from each other in the bedroom with the lights off. Take turns explaining what you would like to do with your lover. Then turn the lights back on and perform what you just talked about.


Conclusion

There are countless ways to be romantic. The best ideas come from recognizing what feels the most special to your significant other. The clues are all around you--simply take time watching and listening to discover them.
