When you’re new in love, even the tasteless of gestures can feel so romantic. But as the relationship ages, awkwardness starts to set in and all those weird lines start to diminish. Now, it doesn’t mean you love your partner less. It only means that the infatuation has passed and you’re back in your senses.
So, can you be romantic and express your feelings without being weird? First, you must know that you need to understand the essence of romance to be romantic. Putting it simply, being romantic is a way of letting your partner know that you still love them, and letting them know that you depend on them and need them. And finally, being romantic is all about creating memories.
If you can do any of these things in your own way, you’re definitely being romantic no matter what you do. Here are ways to be the most romantic partner without being annoying or tasteless about it.
Talk about feelings. Yes, this seems quite obvious but how often do you ever come home at the end of a day, sit close to your partner and talk about your day? How often do you ever just spend a lazy Sunday afternoon talking about the good old days when you first met, about each other’s likes and dislikes and about how special and important your partner is to you? The signs of affection may mean a lot in love but staying connected plays an important role too.
The little things you do. Love is in the details but hardly a few of us ever do anything about it. If you want to be romantic, learn to be selfless. Go out of your way to do something special for your better half if you know that it would bring a pleasant smile on their face. Do something unexpected at times. If your man is late for a big meeting, pick out his clothes and place them neatly for him to wear it. If your woman has to head out late in the evening, start your car and wait for her on the driveway to give her a lift.
Give your attention. When you’re out with your partner, don’t ignore them – especially when you’re with others. Just because you’re having an interesting conversation with someone else doesn’t mean you should neglect your partner. Instead, involve your partner and make them feel like they’re the center of your world.
Compete with each other. Competition works in two ways. If you let ego get in the way, you’ll hate each other after a friendly fight but if you respect each other, some fun and games can bring both of you closer together and cause a lot of laughs too. Play games; be it a pillow fight, board game. Compete with each other and congratulate each other. There are no losers here. When you’re done playing, both of you will feel happier, more relaxed, more in love and a lot more affectionate towards each other.
Take breaks often. If both of you are leading busy lives away from each other, go away on a vacation or a little getaway (for just you both) a few times a year to rekindle the together times and the romance. Even an overnight vacation will do just fine. Take time to isolate yourselves from the world because it’s the only way to realize how special both of you are to each other.
Create memories. Memories last for a lifetime. There’s nothing in the world that can feel more romantic and as great as memories. As time flies, we forget those stolen glances and those special moments that are so full of love. Create memories often, either by snapping away your cherished moments or by taping them. Can you imagine how wonderful it would be to watch a happy anniversary surprise years later? Romance doesn’t always have to be about love… At times, happiness can be just as romantic
Be nice to each other, especially when both of you are out together. If you’re the guy, be chivalrous. If you’re the girl, compliment your man and make him feel like a protector. When you treat each other with love and respect, you will subconsciously feel better about yourself and the relationship. And when someone’s nice to you, you can’t help but be nice back in return. This is the reason why perfect first dates are so romantic. Go out of your ways to make the other person feel special no matter how long you you’ve been in a relationship with each other. It’ll make every moment feel so much more romantic and beautiful.
Publicize your love. Yes, love is experienced between two people but is best experienced when people know all about it. As much as love may be a private moment, we’re still humans with the need to feel better about ourselves. Your partner may not care about public shows of affection, but don’t stop indulging in it. Proclaim your love in public or surprise your partner by having flowers or gifts delivered to their workplace. It may be embarrassing but it always feels good to be the lucky one who’s getting showered with attention. If you don’t like displaying your love in the open, buy little gifts for your partner when you go to shop by yourself. It shows that you think about your lover all the time, and it really is a very special and romantic gesture.
Hug your partner or kiss them when they least expect it. Have you ever felt an overwhelming rush of affection towards your partner? Don’t stop yourself when you feel the love welling up inside you. If your lover’s working or cooking, walk up from behind and give them a warm hug and a kiss for no reason at all. When you hug your lover and rest all your weight on them helplessly, it’ll make your partner either laugh out or feel protective about you. Let’s not forget, it is a really romantic way to say ‘I love you’.
