Romance is... What?


 

 

Romance is simple to some but complicated to most.  Since the definition of romance seems to vary  from person to person, the person that really counts is the one with whom you're trying to be romantic, you partner.  So ask yourself, what's their definition of romance?


The answer could be found in the many books and magazines that have been published to date, or... you can simply ask your partner.  Asking doesn't seem the least bit romantic but it's clearly the shortest path to romance, if done right.



 

You don't have to be a romantic, to be romantic.


Why not put your time and energy into your approach.  Try this.  Find a relaxing time to strike up a easy going conversation about romance.  Put on your "listening only" hat and ask your partner for their definition of romance.  Follow this up by asking for specific activities that they feel are romantic.  Once this is done, stifle any desire to have it make sense to you, remember romance varies from person to person.  Accept what was said as "their" definition of romance and kindly allow the conversation to progress naturally.  Next, after a few days, weeks or months, pick one of their romantic activities and surprise them by doing it.  Here is a key point to remember, you must commit fully to the activity.  Again, don't try to make sense of it.  If your mate senses any reluctance on your part the moment is tainted and back to square one for you.  That means that it may take some self-control and sacrifice on your part but if you succeed you will be pleasantly surprised with the result. 


The interesting thing about romance is that romance begets romance.  In other words, the sincere attempts of one parner will lead to sincere attempts on the part of the other.  So don't be surprised if your partner is willing to do the same for you.
