10 Brilliantly Creative Ways To Be Romantic
As always, I’ll be honest with you from my first to my last word, and now I need you to be honest with me.
How many of you think that you’re a pro at being romantic? How many of you actually think about incorporating romantic elements into your relationship on a daily basis?
If I could see all of you who virtually raised their hands at the moment, I bet more than half of you would be females. Why?
Because women are usually the ones ‘craving romance’ and demanding their male partners be more caring in a romantic relationship
Women usually try hard to be romantic, so they have every right to demand the same in return (no offense, male population).
Now that we’re done with all this “gender stereotyping” regarding romance, here’s another interesting question for you:
Do you think being romantic is a tough job?
If yes, think again. It would definitely be a challenging task if we were living in a prehistoric era where the pinnacle of being romantic was carving heart-shaped sculptures with stone tools.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve got nothing against stone-carved hearts (actually, I think it’s pretty impressive), but we need to be aware that we live in modern times where we have so many materials (besides stone) and ideas at our fingertips.
So, it would be a shame not to use them, right? Right.
What I’m trying to say is the following: In this day and age, there’s simply no excuse for not trying to be more romantic and making your partner feel special and loved (this applies to both the male and female species).
This powerful statement leads us to another interesting question:
Why Is Romance An Essential Part Of Every Long-Term Relationship?
Do you know what’s interesting about dating and romance?
It’s the fact that men usually make a tremendous effort to be romantic at the beginning of dating and then lower their efforts as time passes. Why is that?
Perhaps because at that stage, men are one hundred percent focused on chasing and winning that one woman, so they have no problem with inventing a hundred new ways to be romantic.
But, here’s the truth (for those who didn’t know it): Romance is an essential part of every long-term relationship, and here are all the reasons why:
• Romance is not just a matter of choice, but it is a NEED for a woman.
Women don’t nag their partners to be more romantic for no reason. They do this because they need romance to feel connected to their partner.
They crave romance because it is an essential need just as eating, making love, etc.
If there are no romantic elements in a relationship, a woman will feel as if something important is missing, and she will not be happy.
Dealing with an unromantic boyfriend can be difficult for every girl, which is one reason why every guy should take this romance thing seriously.
• It lowers self-protection.
A relationship without romance is like a relationship without kisses. I know the comparison is kind of weird, but you get the idea.
Cute romantic gestures help lower self-protection. They help partners feel more relaxed and connected.
• It keeps the spark alive in a relationship.
Watching Netflix can surely be romantic, but it will not keep the spark alive in your relationship.
Making an effort to ensure your partner feels special and always being on the lookout for new ways to make your relationship exciting is the key to establishing a healthy and happy relationship.
• Romantic gestures make partners feel wanted, desired, and loved.
Never underestimate the power of unique romantic gestures like picking a beautiful flower, giving a big warm hug, or making your partner a cup of coffee.
All these gestures make partners feel desired, loved, and cared for.
• Romance lowers anxiety levels.
Things that make us feel good to have the power to lower anxiety and stress levels. Romance is one of those things.
Doing something nice for your partner and surprising them with sweet gestures is what makes them feel appreciated and improves their well-being, especially their mental state.
They won’t overthink if you still care about them because they will know that you do.
• Romantic gestures show that partners prioritize their relationship.
Do you know how I know that my partner still cares about me?
By the amount of effort, they put in. If I see that the relationship is not reciprocated (that I give more than I receive), I know that my partner is not prioritizing our relationship.
Romantic gestures have the power to show partners that the person they’re with is equally invested and interested in keeping the spark alive.
I’m sure these reasons are more than enough to motivate you to step up your ‘romantic game.’
Whether you’re married, in a relationship, dating someone (or you have a crush), here are some interesting ways to make your special person feel appreciated and wanted!
