Romance is important in any relationship. Being romantic is how you can impress someone in a new relationship or bring sparks back into a seasoned relationship. In a society that’s turned to casual hookups and situationships, the art of romanticism is slowly dying. Women look to movies like The Notebook and Titanic as a gauge for their romantic expectations but these are rarely being met. Often times, women want to be swept off their feet, they want to feel affection and care. Here is how to Turn up the Romance.
Surprise Her
Surprises are some of the best ways to turn up the romance. It doesn’t have to be a big surprise, small gestures will work just as well. A surprise can be a simple way to impress her. Whether it’s planning a date to the new museum exhibit she wants to see or randomly surprising her with flowers, she will appreciate you.
The best surprises are the ones that are meaningful. It’s not always necessary to spend a ton of money. If you know she’s had a difficult work week, plan an at-home date. Plan a picnic in your backyard complete with some Netflix on your laptop screen. Anytime you go out of your way to show her that you care, romance is sure to rise.
Do something that tends to her love language
Knowing your partners Love language is recommended. Through this information, you can gain an understanding of how your partner shows love and how she likes to receive love. The 5 love languages include words of affirmation, quality time, giving gifts, physical touch, and acts of service. Being able to pinpoint what will make your partner happy will make a gesture even more special. If you know that your partner’s most valued love language is physical touch, giving them a massage will speak wonders. Similarly, if your partner values word of affirmation, give her a love letter. While your partner will probably appreciate anything you do for them, making it tailored towards their love language will show them that you care.
Create something for her

If she puts it on her desk at work or in her car, you’ll have the opportunity to be on her mind all day. With a song or letter, she’ll be able to remember the feelings she had when she first read it every time she sees it. Sometimes romance is about creating moments and experiences that you’ll be able to remember for a long time.
