The importance of holding hands with your sweetheart

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Romantic touching is a vital element in every successful relationship, but far too often couples concentrate on just sexual expression when trying to introduce more physicality. The truly romantic couple, though, knows the importance of incorporating simple, frequent and random acts of touching throughout their day. A quick hug, a kiss on the cheek, and holding your lover’s hand are all extremely important parts of adding old-fashioned romance to your relationship.

The very best romantic ideas are the simplest ones, and you can’t get much simpler and meaningful than romantic hand-holding. Holding hands with your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband is something you can do anyplace and at any time. It’s profoundly powerful in showing your lover how much they mean to you, and is a tasteful way to be physical in public without seeming too clingy. (more…)

 

When is the last time you kissed your lover on the cheek?

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Before you roll your eyes at the title of this post, remember that frequent small, romantic gestures are far more important to building better relationships than infrequent, elaborate gestures like expensive gifts or vacations. And giving your significant other a simple, heartfelt kiss on the cheek is an extremely effective, easy way to show you love them many times a day.

While many people might think of a kiss on the cheek as something a parent or grandparent gives to a child, you shouldn’t be afraid to use a quick peck on the cheek to express your feelings to your lover when time or circumstances don’t allow for anything more. When we’re in a hurry, when we’re about to leave each other, or when we meet briefly and unexpectedly, a kiss on the cheek is the perfect way to say “I love you.” (more…)

Turn pictures of your lover into a romantic scrapbook

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Here’s a fun romantic idea I got from the special someone in my life who surprised me last year with a terrific, thoughtful gift that made me feel great. Being romantic comes naturally to some people, and she knows that showing an interest in your lover’s history is a great way to make them feel like a special and important part of your life.

If you’ve been in a romantic relationship with your sweetheart for any significant amount of time, I’m sure you’ve gotten a chance to see plenty of pictures of them from their past. Looking at baby pictures, school yearbook pictures, and silly old family photos of your lover is a fun way to learn about their past and laugh with them. And reaching the point where you’re comfortable enough with your significant other to show them your most embarrassing pictures marks a very important time in your relationship! (more…)

How to write a romantic thank-you note for your lover

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Thank-you letters are a quick and easy way to show your appreciation to others for their thoughtfulness, and few other gestures are as affordable or affective at letting someone know how much their actions mean to you. Especially in today’s impersonal, fast-paced world, a few short, simple, hand-written thank-you cards are wonderful romantic ideas that will make a person feel great.

But unfortunately, many of us limit our thank-you notes to friends and colleagues who have done something special for us, or to people who give us gifts. Sending thank-you letters to gift-givers and other people is great, but when is the last time you sent a romantic thank-you note to that special someone who does more for you than anyone else in the world?

For a more romantic relationship, don’t keep score; lead by example!

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

It’s a given that making an effort to add as much good old-fashioned romance to your relationship as possible will make your life with your significant other more rewarding, exciting and fulfilling. If you’re interested in building a better relationship with your lover and making their happiness the number one priority in your life, you’d be nuts not to make an effort to add more romantic gestures, acts and thinking to the mix. And if you and your sweetheart are both interested in being as romantic as possible, it might be fun to try to out-do each other when it comes to romance and showing your love.

But if you’ve recently discovered how addicting it is to be romantic with your partner, it’s easy to get upset if your lover isn’t as enthusiastic about old-fashioned romance as you are right away. You’re excited about adding a bunch of new romantic ideas to your daily lives and making your relationships more fulfilling, so why can’t they be? Sure, it’s understandable that you’d want your significant other to do as many romantic things as you’re doing, but keeping score on who’s being the most romantic in a relationships is the wrong approach.

Is hugging that special someone your first priority when you come home?

Friday, April 20th, 2007

The world is getting busier and faster-paced every day, and adding old-fashioned romance to your relationship can be difficult if you have a hectic career or other responsibilities to worry about.  On the one hand, part of being an old-fashioned romantic involves working hard to provide for and take care of your family.

But you need to balance that responsibility with paying enough attention to your lover to let them know how important they are to you. Your sweetheart may understand that work or other responsibilities keep you away from home longer than you would like, but do you make sure that they know how much you missed them when you were gone?

Top ten signs that you’re in love

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Falling in love with someone is a wonderful, intense experience, but it can also be more than a little confusing to someone who’s never really been in love before. Love is an easy thing to define for people who have it in their lives already, but if you’ve never experienced it before, you might have a hard time figuring what the heck is wrong with you. Are you sick? Are you going crazy? Did someone cast a voodoo curse on you?

Well, probably not. The first early symptoms of being in love can mirror illness or mental instability, sure. :) But once you learn to really enjoy being in love and get used to the idea of having a little old-fashioned romance in your life, you’ll start to appreciate these weird new symptoms you’ve come down with.

Check it out: there are about four billion guys in the world, but I know without a doubt that I’m the luckiest out of all of them.  How can I be so sure?  Easy: because I have a special person in my life who makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world.  And even if I won a million dollars or dodged a hail of bullets, I know I’ll never be more fortunate than I was the day I met her.
