Romance has tempos

Your romance can have a tempo just like music. It can be fast and upbeat or slow and sweet. Just like music you need to mix it up a bit. Somedays you want the fast upbeat type of romance. Dancing, laughing, being silly are examples of what I consider upbeat type of romance interactions. On the days you prefer slow and sweet romance, I would suggest snuggling watching movies or having a candle lit dinner. You then also have the wide range in between the two. So your romance should never hit the boring aspect of life. Keep mixing it up and don't stop being romantic what ever tempo you decide on today.

Celebrate the little things.

Celebrations are great but you don't always have to wait for a holiday or birthday to begin the celebration. Make a point to show encouragement for the little things like getting a new job or even a good grade on a test. Heck you can even go as far as to celebrate the renewal of your drivers licence. Make a production of these little things to show your partner that everything they do is important to you. Express your feeling for them with streamers, cakes, or balloons. Not only will they feel wonderful because of your love but you will feel special also.

Explore on Vacation.

When you are on vacation it is easy to try to find places that remind you of home. Maybe it is restaurants that you are familiar with or stores that you shop at home. My romantic suggestion however is to explore other avenues. Find little hole in the wall places to eat, local stores and local attractions that might be more for the people that live in the area. This is a great way to have fun as a couple and get to know the area better. We have found little parks, romantic places to watch the sunset, and great home cooked meals by doing this. However the best thing about it is getting to know someone that cares what you think. The teenager at McDonalds doesn't care about your trip or where you are from but the owner of a little dinner might even sit down with you to discuss it. These are the lasting memories you will have on vacation not the ones that remind you of home.

Say something nice!

Today is the day to show your partner just how nice you can be. In turn this will also make you look romantic in her eyes. Basically all I want you to do is say something nice to everyone you meet today. It can be something simple like, "Have a wonderful day" or "Have you been losing weight" Something to brighten everyone you come in contact with day. Make this your point today and don't forget you partner. The amazing thing will be how you feel at the end of the day.

love like there is a tomorrow.

We always here that you should love like there is no tomorrow. However when you are early in a relationship that might be the case. In a new relationship you should love like you have a future together. Not so much as you start to scare the other person. For example don't talk about getting married on your first date! Do talk about the next date though to see how the other person feels. Say things like, "Well if we go out again I would like to take you (insert place here)" if you are greeted with a "That would be nice" then you chances are good for the second date. Especially in the early stages of a relationship make reference to the near future quite a bit. Talk about things you would like to do during the summer or on vacation, and include the person you are seeing in on those plans. The worst they can say is I can't do that or I won't have vacation time then. By using this technique this person will see that you can be a long term partner plus it also allows them to see that you are in this for a commitment so if they are not looking for this it is an easier time to get out. Yes as our relationships grow we want to live like there is no tomorrow but until we know we want to spend the rest of our life with that person take it a little slower.

Experience a new town.

Want to go on a romantic adventure? Well if your funds are limited like most people today, why not just go someplace that you have never been. Pick a near by town you have never been to maybe they might be having a festival or a special event going on that you can check out. You don't have to have an agenda. Just go explore the town, walk around downtown and experience how the community works. Find the local hot spots and pick a local restaurant for lunch to get a better feel for the town. Take your time and spend a good portion of the day taking in the sights, finding parks or trails, take in all you can and bank it for future references. Who knows you might find a place that you would like to move to at a future time. Make sure to take your camera and document your findings, heck make a scrap book of your adventures.

Do something new!

Today is a great day to try something new for the two of you. It can be anything as long as it is something you normally don't do. You could go to a museum, or an art gallery as a way of broadening you artistic appreciation. Find a place near your town that neither of you have ever been to and go check out what it offers. This activity helps build adventure in your life and by putting adventure in your life you will make a stronger connection between the two of you. Other things you can look for might be things at your local college, they seem to always have something going on that is most likely out of your normal range. Pick up the paper and look at the entertainment section and find different events that might be going on around you. Things like ethnic festivals, specific trade shows, or even collectible or antique shows. The most important part is that you experience whatever you do together.
