Uncover the Romance Impaired
As a charter member of the romantically impaired, I need all the aid I can get before birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day for the mother of my children, and any other day my significant other designates is ripe for romance.
10 Instant Romantic Suggestions:
1. Build a love montage by collecting some pictures of you and your lover, maybe a few ticket stubs of places you have visited and any other small odds and ends that possess special importance to you both.
2. If your significant other is going on a trip, pack a small gift into the corner of her suitcase that she will locate when she is away.
3. Always listen for things that your partner reminisces about and write them down somewhere. For instance, perhaps she speaks about the ice cream she had from a particular shop when she was a little girl. When a special occasion comes along, check your list of things your partner talks about and try to recreate one of them, such as buying that special ice cream.
4. Organize a mystery outing for you and your partner. A number of travel agents will manage mystery packages where the destination of the trip is kept under wraps until you are actually on the plane or arrive at the destination.
5. When your significant other is ill at home, take a day off to attend to her. Rent some dvds, make her soup, wrap her in a blanket, and simply be with her.
6. If your lady has a pet, on Valentine's Day, Christmas, or her birthday, include a small gift for the critters.
7. Jot down a note saying "I thought of you and it made me smile." Leave the note somewhere where your partner is sure to find it, or text it to her phone.
8. If your partner has long hair, take the time to brush it using long slow strokes, especially after she has enjoyed a shower or when she is getting ready for bed.
9. Above all if you are married, you definitely must have a date night, even if only once or twice a month. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it must exclude kids, and can include friends where you can show her off.
10. If your significant other has voice mail at work or on her cell phone, leave a message saying "Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you." She will welcome this anytime but in particular when she is going through a tough period.
10 suggestions are not a large amount, yet it really is more than adequate to keep me occupied for a couple of years.
