What is Romance and How Can You be More Romantic?

Whether you've been in a relationship for a long time, or whether you're single, learning how to romance and love can be one of the greatest skills to learn (and believe me being romantic takes a lot of skill, for both men and women!). But what exactly is romance? I mean if you don't know what romance is, then how can you ever be romantic?

Being romantic is more than just a bunch of red roses and a box of chocolates, it is showing your partner that you love, respect and admire them for who they are and it is form of showing them how much they mean to you. Romance comes in all shapes and forms, big and small, from that small gesture of giving them your last rolo, to that romantic getaway. The most common misconception about being romantic is that you have to spend a lot of money. Money should be no factor in being romantic, as true romance doesn't mean you spent loads of money on them, but that you put long hard thought into how you could really 'woo' them.

Red Roses and chocolates is a very popular and good way of being romantic, as all women love them, but instead of just giving them to her, why don't you go that bit further to really impress her. Set a scenario for giving these gifts. Good scenario's would be the place you first kissed, where you went on your first date, or even where you first met. None of these places cost, but they show her how dear this place is to you, as it was a milestone in your relationship.

Ring her. No matter how busy you are or where you are, ring her to let her know that you miss her and are thinking of her. Ask how she is, what she's up too, is she having a good day. Take real interest and show her that you care. This means so much.

Set the scenario in the bedroom. When she's out, set up the bedroom to create a romantic atmosphere. This can include tidying the bedroom, changing the linen, set some soft music, light scented candles, dim the light, get massage oils and get a chilled bottle of wine. Create a relaxed setting where you can really cut off from the outside world, and be together. Give each other massages and talk. Show them physically how much they mean to you.

Overall there are no rules for how to be romantic; it changes from person to person. Just be personal and think of what would they want the most. It's all about showing your partner how much they mean to you and it's your form of telling them. And remember, actions say more than a thousand words ever could!
