Having fun together.


Romance is what it is, but where does it start? You don't just become romantic with someone you just met, that would seem a little stalkerish. If you started serenading them outside their window after the first date, you most likely wouldn't get a second date. So how do you get to the point where you can be romantic? Well it all starts with having fun together. A bond forms when you enjoy being together and doing things together. Think back to any relationship you ever were in, and you will see that you had fun together first then became more romantically involved. I think we lose sight of that sometime and forget to have fun together. We just want to jump to the romantic part and in doing so we miss the foundation for a great relationship. Sure the foundation is put down first in a house but what would happen if you removed the foundation after the house was built? The house would crumble into the ground. Think about that in terms of your relationship. To have a solid and sturdy relationship the two of you have to be able to enjoy each other in a fun way.

Can Reading together be Romantic?


Reading is usually an activity that you think about doing by yourself, but can you make it romantic? The answer is yes! Think about it, grab a warm blanket, snuggle down on the couch laying sitting close to each other and reading. Silence is only broken by your breath and page flips. Body heat keeping the two of you warm on a clod winter day. Maybe reading in bed is your passion but you can keep it romantic by touching each other while you read. Let your feet touch and caress the other persons as you read the pages in your book. Some couples like to read things together such as erotica works or even just stories about love. Another great way to make reading romantic is by getting your sunday paper and spreading it out while the two of you pick your favorite section and read it while laying all over each other. Hold hands while you read or take turns reading to each other is a great way to stay connected while you read. Books are great and there are so many out their, now with the electronic readers you can get and read almost anyplace you can imagine but isn't it much bette when you are with your partner?

Find relaxing activities to do together


With our lives so hectic and crazy sometimes we need to slow it down a bit and doing that with a partner is a great way to unwind. Find some activities that take stress out of your life. A lazy day spend fishing or laying on a blanket in the park are great ways just to be together and relax. The possibilities are endless things like reading, biking, walks and laying on the beach are great ways to spend time together without stress. To many times we just are rushing past each other on our way to work or other functions that we sometimes don't get to spend the quality time with each other. Finding these activities might not just help us unwind but it might just help us improve our relationships.

Compliments.


If you don't already you need to make it a point to complement your partner on a daily basis. You don't have to go overboard because that will just be overkill. However a simple, "You look nice" or "Your so Handsome" is a great way to start your partners morning. This simple little compliment could possibly change they way their day goes. Boosting your partners confidence is a great way to make your relationship better, plus it shows them you really care. Mix it up a little and spread you compliments out during the day. When ever you have something negative to say make sure you always follow it with a compliment. For instance, if you partner makes the worst dinner ever, simple say "This meal is not nearly as tasty as the one you make last week, now that was delicious" or "That really didn't feel very good for me, but I loved it last time when you did this" Not only do you express your true feelings but you also let them know what your really enjoyed or liked. Now listen up this is an important part of this post on compliments. When ever you partner goes out of their way to do something like dressing up or doing extra housework you need to make it a point to let them know how great they look or did. Go overboard at this point "WOW, you look so wonderful, everyone is going to have their eyes on you" or "Oh my god, the house looks wonderful" followed by a long kiss. This is how we are suppose to be addressed when you go out of our way to accomplish something. Now you have the tools to make your partner feel like a million buck with only the use of words and actions.

Movie Night


We all know how expensive going to the movies are, yet we have engrained in our memory that going to the movies is an excellent date. What do you do when you don't have thirty or forty buck to plop down for two tickets and popcorn and drinks? Well you turn you living room into a movie theater. Go out and rent a movie for about five bucks and then turn the seats in your living room towards the television. Purchase some snacks and drinks at your local discount store and then invite you date to an evening at the movies. You can make a ticket to give them if you really want the great effect. Not only can you do this for less than half the cost but you can also get a little privacy. This way if you want to make out during the movie you don't have to worry about people watching the two of you make out. By turning out the lights and facing the television you will have the exact feel you do in the movies and if you have surround sound well then it might even be a little better. You can also pause the movie for when you have to go to the bathroom or get some more snacks. So make tonight a night of going in to the movies.

Geodating


Want to impress you love with a surprise date? Based on the same idea as geocaching we have made geodating. This is where you enter the coordinates of the place you are wishing to take your partner on a date into their GPS unit. You could also text or email them the coordinates if you can't get hold of their GPS unit. Once you give them the coordinates all you have to do is sit back and wait for that special someone to figure out where they are going and arrive to meet you. You can pick things like restaurants, landmarks or even just a specific area outdoors such as a place to have a picnic. It makes your date seem like a treasure hunt and will build excitement if you decide to go to someplace neither of you has been before. Make sure both of you have cell phones in case something goes wrong or the person needs assistance once they reach the destination. Take turns picking places to have your dates. This activity, can make every date seem like the first date over and over again.
