Do your outdoor exercises together.

Chances are that one or the other of you in your relationship does some form of outdoor exercise. Weather it is jogging, cycling, or just walking I hope at least that you are doing so to stay in shape. This activity to me is on of the most romantic ways to get your exercise in if you include your partner in the activity. Jogging and Cycling are a little tougher then Walking, because of the difference in fitness levels. The partner in better shape doesn't want to leave the other partner behind. That would negate the idea of exercising together. Plus, in cycling and jogging it is a littler harder to talk to each other. On the other hand you can push each other and it gives you someone to relax with after the exercise is over. Walks are great and a little less stressful on the body if you are just starting out. The also allow plenty of time to talk without being out of breath. Next time you get a chance invite your partner along on your outdoor workout or today would be a great day for the two of you to start getting fit. Starting together would be a great romantic gesture on both of your parts. It says I care about you and I want to you to be around for a long time.

Pictures Pictures Pictures.

One think I cannot express enough is that you need to document your relationship from the start. Maybe this might not be the relationship that is your last but what if it is? Wouldn't it be nice to have pictures from your early days together to share when you get older. Ones that would jog your memory and let you relive those wonderful days all over again. Cameras are great today you can make and save all your prints right at home. No worries about wasting film or having to take the film to the drug store to get them processed. You really have no excuse to not be taking pictures at every event you attend. If you have children you have to take pictures so that when they are grown and gone you can still remember them when they needed you most. Make an investment in your future and buy a good camera and start documenting everything that you can in your relationship and life.

Balanced Life

A Balanced life is one that is filled with all the things you want and need. You can't ignore any part of your life if you want your romance to skyrocket. For example you cannot put all your energy into being romantic, that you forget about other things. Things like taking care of your health, or focusing on your profession. It is hard to be romantic when you are so out of shape you or that you don't have any money to be romantic. In turn you also have to have balance in your relationship, it can't all be romance you have to do the basic things to like the chores around the house or helping your partner with things they have to do. Once you understand that romance fits into that balanced lifestyle, then it just gets better and better. Always make sure you remember to be romantic but never forget to live the other parts of your life.

Live a romance novel

Does your partner read romance novels? If they do her is a fun thing to do that might just get you a little action. Secretly borrow their book and read ahead of where they are going to be reading. Making notes of anything exciting or sexy that happens in the book. Make sure you make specific notes about the pages that your excitement was on. Then watch carefully to see when your partner has passed that part in the book. After they have read past the part you have made notes about then say something that would reflect towards that sexy or exciting part. Watch your partners eyes light up as you say things like "You know I wonder what it would be like to make love in a pile of hay" or "How sexy would it be if I kissed you so hard you could feel it in my loins" I am sure you will get a big smile when your partner realizes that you are referring to their book. Another thing you could do is find the steamy parts and circle them and put a note to the side saying "We should try this"

Like the old song "You can always get what you wanted, but you get what you need"

In a romantic relationship you have to be able to give and take. Sometimes it doesn't work out in your favor. That is when you have to step back and look at what you really need in a relationship. Pick and choose the things that are important to you and communicate that with your partner. Once they understand the way your desires and wants work you might find it a little easier to give up those things that don't mean that much to you. Say for instance, shopping with the girls, or poker night with the guys, which are all great activities but when you get into a relationship you might not be able to do them as much as you like. Like the Rolling Stones sang "You can't always get what you want, but you get what you need" So take stock in the things you need and understand the things you want will be there when they can be.

Time for some water fun.

As we are starting to see some hot weather as we enter summer their is one way for sure to cool off. Any thing to do with water can be romantic and fun. Going to the beach, relaxing at the pool, breaking out the slip and slide, or even squirt gun fights can all be a way of being romantic while cooling off. Water is sexy, and if you don't believe me just think about this, how hot does your partner look when they just get out of the shower? Plus, normally when you are around water you wear less clothing, hence you get to see more of your loves skin. Swimming is a wonderful way to exercise with out the pounding on your body and the getting wet then drying off is a wonderful sensation for you skin. There are so many things to do around or in the water that you can't help but think is it because we are made up of so much water that we feel comfortable around and in the water. Squirt gun fights can be a wonderful means of foreplay the might end up with you soaked and naked! I think you can figure out what to do after that. Got out on the next hot day and plan on getting soaked, and romantic.

Can Video Games be Romantic?

I am sure that sitting around playing video games isn't your idea of a great evening with your lover. However it can be very enjoyable if you are both on the same skill level. If the competition doesn't cause fights and you get to spar with each other then the games can release some tension that is built up in one or the other of you. I am curious do they have games for lovers, I mean we have board games that promote intimacy and passion, why not a video game. I would love to hear about any out there so if you make or have any let me know I would love to review or see how they work. This gets me thinking about the Nintendo Wii and the many applications that you would have with the motion controllers! :-) I remember hearing about a game that was hooked up to a vibrator many years ago but I am now curious as to if we have any for the Wii. Checking the internet all I find is videos for a game about rhythmic spanking with only audio and no video. Come on video game makers don't you see the amazing market for a product that will not only let us play video games but let us have sex with it as well. Great I have just inspired someone to make our lives even lazier. It still would be fun though.
