The I got to leave before you get up kiss.

Nothing is worse than having to leave for work before you partner gets up. You don't want to wake them up and disturb their sleep but you still want that exchange of care before you walk out the door. Talk about this with your partner and ask what they would like. Changes are they want that exchange also without disturbing their slumber. Maybe a quick peck on the forehead when you start to get out of bed or a gentle caress of their back will do the trick. The important part is to let them know you want to carry them with you as you go about your day. Figure out what works best for both of you and then start a routine. Soon you will find you are both happy and no one loses sleep over it.

Get up early

We all claim that there is not enough time in the day to get things done and have time for our relationships. Well you can help that out by getting up a little earlier on the weekend days. Sneak out of bed early and start getting things done so that you will have time later for your partner. Laundry, dishes, and cleaning can get done at anytime of the day so why not make it in the morning and get them out of the way. Nothing says you care more then going out of your way to make more time for you partner. Love is the most important thing to make time for, that is a wonderful rule to follow.

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.

Friday night flings

Friday starts the weekend for most people yet it is not the big night to go out. Saturday dominates the party night while friday comes in a distant second. You can use this to your advantage. Friday night is a great night to go out if you are wanting to talk and find out more about your love. Find places that don't have bands on fridays or that don't get hoppin until Saturday and spend the evening over a few drinks and some good conversation. Another option here is to get out early before the party crowd hits and have your conversation and drinks and then do something a little more personal like taking a walk, going to a movie, or maybe back to one of your places!!

Zoo it up!

One of the most romantic places to take a date early in your relationship is the zoo. This may seem a little silly but think about it. You get to walk around all the time, with no agenda you don't have to be a the lion cage at seven o'clock for your reservation. You have lots of things that can visually stimulate a conversation, with the animals, obviously. You can also talk about the crowd and the children as well as other things around the zoo. As you walk you have many chances to get away from the crowd and get some one on one time. Just find an exhibit that not many people find interesting and you can sit there and talk about what ever you feel like. Being at the zoo also gives you and your date a feeling of freedom. You are not enclosed like the animals and you are free to roam about the entire facility. You can even find a bench just to sit and enjoy the day. The next time you are wondering where to take a date early in the relationship don't look past the zoo, it might just be the place where the two of you will hit it off.
