I’m sitting here in my study, looking out the window at the drizzle (yes, it’s that kind of day again) and pondering how to be romantic. Is there such a thing as one simple method to win your love interest over?
Some would say yes; others would say no. But we can definitely agree that there are things you can do to become more romantic.
How can I be romantic in a relationship?
Romance is not about pretty words or expensive gifts. Well, it can be, but that’s not the most important thing – not by a long shot!
To be romantic you need to go beyond the “classic” expectations of dating and relationships. It’s not just about what he should do for her or vice versa; it needs to be more than that.
Romantic gestures are often spontaneous and therefore cannot always be prepared in advance. So follow your heart and dedicate yourself to finding out how to be romantic. Ask yourself this question every day: How can I surprise him/her? And then act accordingly!
You don’t have to spend lots of money on presents (or other lavish items), but the thought behind them will be remembered long after the price tag has been forgotten. I’ve seen expressions of love that cost nothing but are deeply felt.
Some men think that if they buy expensive gifts for their girlfriend/wife, she will be happy. But it’s not about the money – it’s about how you make her feel! Everyone wants to know they are loved and appreciated, so why not tell your partner? Your words don’t have to be flowery or poetic, just sincere. Tell her what makes her special to you; how much she means to you; why she is irreplaceable in your life. Be creative with the language though – show her that you put some effort into it.
Romantic gestures can be physical ones. Holding hands is a simple gesture, but it goes a long way. A kiss is the most basic of romantic actions, but it demonstrates your love and affection for your partner.
Any little thing you can do to show that you are thinking about them is romantic! Send her flowers or buy her favorite chocolate on his way home from work; give him a massage when he comes back from a hard day at work; call him on his cell phone just to hear his voice. These may seem like small things, but even the smallest gestures mean so much.
How to be Romantic – Tips for Women
Romance begins with yourself. If you’re confident in who you are as an individual then this will shine through in everything you do and say. Don’t try too hard to impress; you need to be comfortable with yourself before you can hope to please someone else.
Take the lead. When it comes to romance, women often let men take control of what should be a mutual effort (and pleasure). Don’t wait for him to come up with ideas; that’s not taking responsibility for your relationship! If you like something then tell him – he’ll appreciate the fact that you’re willing to put yourself out there and make an effort.
Being romantic is about showing how much you care, not always telling. Men are from Mars and women from Venus – we communicate differently! We all know that, but why do we forget it when it comes down to relationships? Use actions as well as words to show how you feel.
Romance is not just about sex – contrary to popular belief! You don’t have to jump into bed with him or her as soon as you get the chance; a long, lingering kiss will do just as much for your romantic feelings. Sex can be a great way to show your love, but it’s only part of being romantic.
If I could give one piece of advice to women it would be this: Don’t criticize his efforts. Men are simple creatures at heart and they need encouragement from time to time if they are going to keep trying. Be positive and tell him what you like – he’ll appreciate that more than you know!
How can I be romantic to my boyfriend?
Romance is a feeling and the best way to show this feeling is through actions. The art of romance comes from within so use your heart, not your wallet!
Be honest with yourself and think about what you want out of your relationship. If it’s love, then express that; if you’re looking for something more casual then don’t be afraid to say so. Your boyfriend will appreciate knowing where they stand and won’t feel pressured into doing things they can’t or don’t want to do.
Having said that, romance doesn’t have to mean anything serious! Everyone loves flowers – buy him your favorite kind next time you go grocery shopping; cook him dinner wearing an apron with nothing underneath (you could even burn the food to add to the excitement)!
How to be Romantic – Tips for Men
Romance is not all about the ladies; it’s a two-way street! Males need to put in just as much effort if they want their partners to feel special and loved.
Be creative with your words – you don’t always have to use words of endearment, but using romantic phrases will show her that you care enough about her to learn some lines from a book!
Don’t think that actions don’t speak louder than words. Find out what makes your girlfriend happy and do it! You don’t have to spend a massive amount of money; sharing an ice cream after dinner is as romantic as taking her out to the movies (and way less expensive!).
When you’re with her, make eye contact and listen to what she’s saying – we all know that men won’t be spending their time watching chick flicks anytime soon, but if you give her your undivided attention when she talks then this will mean more than any words could say.
Romance isn’t about sex; it’s about intimacy. This doesn’t mean getting physical; it means connecting on another level. The best way to show this is by listening to her when she talks and making her feel special.
Romance doesn’t have to be expensive; the best way to show your girlfriend that you care about her is by putting in the effort. Whether that’s cooking dinner or giving up the TV remote for a night – she’ll love you all the same!

How can I be romantic to my girlfriend?
Being romantic isn’t always about gift giving! If you know what your girlfriend likes then it’s easy to be romantic, but if you’re not sure then the best way is to spend some time with her doing things that she enjoys.
If she loves shopping, take her out for a day of window shopping and lunch at the local tea room. If music is her thing, find out where all the local bands are playing and offer to go along with her (this will also mean that you’ll be able to check out cute guys as well!).
Doing something different can be just as romantic as going down on one knee and asking for her hand in marriage; booking a picnic or going fishing together or even visiting a museum – there are plenty of fun things to do that are just as romantic as the movies!
One of the most romantic things you can do is spend time together. That’s right, it doesn’t necessarily mean getting physical; although if you want to… well, go for it! Be there for her when she needs you and make sure that she knows how much she means to you. It sounds like a cliché but saying ‘I love you’ never gets old (and neither does watching Titanic with your arms wrapped around each other, trust me).
Here are some tips for both men and women on becoming more romantic:
· Just because the weather is bad, doesn’t mean you should stay inside all day long. Step out into the rain — for just a minute or two – and people will remember how brave you were when you got drenched rather than complain about it later. Romance isn’t always staying in bed together, sometimes it’s making an effort to keep one another entertained even if it means braving the elements.
· Surprise your date with something small but thoughtful, like making them their favorite meal for dinner or including a gift certificate to his/her favorite restaurant along with your other presents. They will appreciate it a lot more than you know and you’ll stand out from the crowd because your date probably won’t be expecting something like that from anyone else, either.
· Find out what turns your love interest on. Is it having their back rubbed? Receiving sloppy kisses? Figuring this out gives you a definite advantage over all the other guys/girls they’re dating. Make use of it!
· Give them a little quiz about yourself every once in a while, just to see if they can spot the truth or not. This one definitely makes for an interesting evening and brings a personal touch to your relationship which is very important for romance to survive.
Make sure you don’t quiz them on anything too personal, though. Remember, you want them to like you for more than just your encyclopedic knowledge of the world around us…
· Be creative with each other. Always try to make time for one another because it’s easy to get caught up in work or school and forget what really matters; spending time with someone who means a great deal to you. Surprise them at random moments with gifts (and not necessarily bought ones) like little notes that say important things like “you’re hot” or “I love your laugh” because these types of gestures are what keep people together through all sorts of struggles; boredom, stress, etc.
Conclusion
Overall, being romantic is all about putting a smile on your partner’s face and doing things that make them feel special. If it comes from the heart, then people will appreciate it ten times more than anything bought with money could ever express. Follow these tips next time you want to be romantic or feel free to come up with some of your own because everyone has a different way of saying “I love you” without actually using words.
