Romantic Gondola Rides

Many Americans have dreamed about visiting Venice and taking a ride in its most iconic mode of transportation, the gondola. But a lot of us are too busy to drop everything and go abroad; fortunately, there are gondoliers in many stateside cities who specialize in bringing a little Venetian romance and relaxation into your life. 

We were asked to share this article with you and we are pleased to do so, but we also wanted to share a couple of places that were not mentioned.  Here they are:

Notice changes in your mate

One thing you need to put focus on is watching for changes in your partner. Have they been working out, did they get a new outfit, or change their hairstyle. Noticing these simple little changes tells your partner that you are paying attention to them. Try to keep track of things such as hair appointments, and workout times that your partner keeps. Compliment them on their changes or progress often. This helps them keep motivated to keep up the workouts or trying to impress you! As hard as it is sometimes be honest when they ask your opinion. However always be positive about something they are doing. Sometimes it takes a while for a new change to grow on you. Reserve your right to your opinion for a later date if you are unsure. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that when your partner changes something drastically it might just be because they want to catch your eye. With that said the next time your partner gets a drastically different hair style, new clothes, or starts working out (especially in front of you), they might just be looking to catch your eye. Maybe you need to step back and see if you are giving them the attention that they need. I love when my partner changes something about her it makes me take even more notice of how much I love her.

Lawn Chairs and Boat Drinks

It's time to enjoy summer.  So lets break out the lawn chairs and boat drinks.  You can enjoy the sun and spend some time together no matter where you live.  If you live in the city take your island paradise up to the roof of your building and hang out suntanning and drinking.  Just don't get to close to the edge of the building.  If you live in the secluded country you can just find a spot where the sun is available and pitch your little set up there.  If you way out in the boondocks you could even remove you suits for an all over tan.  Make sure to use sunscreen, because burn genitals are not fun or fashionable.  Make up a pitcher of your favorite beverage and just sit and sun.  Enjoy the sun, the booze, and that wonderful person sitting beside you!
