Introduce you partner to your childhood

A fun and romantic thing to do is discuss the toys you had when you were growing up. Tell your partner about your favorite toys and how you use to play with them. Don't be ashamed I am sure the both of you have played with things you might have been embarrassed by in the past. This helps you partner get a inside look at the way you were raised. If all you played with was sports equipment then they will understand a little better why you love to play golf all the time now. If you had barbies and had a hundred outfits for them they might understand why you closet is so full now. Believe me you will see some correlation between the past and the present. Give it a try tonight.

Change the words

Have you ever been caught sitting watching television together when there is nothing really on you want to watch? If you end up in this situation here is what you can do. Turn the volume down on the show and make up your own words. Make up the most absurd things you can think of and challenge you partner to answer your remarks. This can be a real test to your wit. It also helps you become quick on your feet at answering questions. It can also help stimulate your brain power and get you thinking, instead of just sitting absorbing useless junk. Do it during the commercials also they can end up being really funny.

The best part about this is that it will get you laughing together. As I have said many times laughter is great medicine and it actually helps you live longer. So find a show that looks serious and ad lib so silliness into it tonight.

Romantic Needs

Romantic Needs

Gentlemen and Ladies let me start by saying that there is no map to creating a more romantic relationship in your life. Now that I have burst your bubble let me tell you why. Romance is an ever changing facit of your life. Just as in every other part of your life if you keep doing the same thing over and over it gets boring. So, don't think that you can read this blog one time and presto you are the most romantic person in the world. For example, if your partner loves to get flowers you can send her some and be Romeo, but if you send her flowers everyday, it just becomes creepy. She will probably begin to resent the flowers or maybe run in terror everytime she sees any. Help me out ladies and tell me about that fine line between the man of your dreams and the stalker.

So men there is no easy road map to this romance thing. You're gonna have to work at it the rest of the life of your relationship. Now stop sobbing. Dry those tears from your eyes and let's think. Remember when you were first dating and how all you wanted to do was please that specail lady in your life. Well do you still feel that way? Same for you ladies - has the romance left your relationship or are we just a little be lazy now that we are comfortable. Ahhhhh here lies the secret. You have to work at your relationship and putting romance into it. You have to remember why you fell head over heels for this person. Now roll up your sleeves, and let's get to work.

Think back to the things you did when you first started dating. Remember those days trying to find something fun and exciting to do everytime you got together. Well why did you stop doing that? Why when we get comfortable with someone do we forget how much fun we had wtih them? Now continue thinking about something you did that you both enjoyed and start trying to find a way to relive that. Maybe it was a magical night on the beach watching the sunset, or driving in the country and taking pictures, or something as simple as walking around your old campus holding hands. Never underestimate the power of the date rerun. Again, keep it within reason. The same date rerun done everyweek makes it a chore, and men we all know how much we hate those.

Remember Romance isn't a given. It's like a garden that must be pampered and watered and hold up hold up let me rephrase that so my fellow men can understand. Fellas, romance is like pizza you can put lots of different things on it but it's still a pizza and it still tastes good. So, until the next time, keep the romance alive. Oh by the way, does anyone have the number to the pizza place? For some reason I seem to be a little hungry now.
