Someone asked me the other day, “how can I be romantic?” And as much as it was an honest question, I found it surprising that at this age and time someone could still be in the dark as to what gestures are considered romantic especially considering the amount of romance flicks produced by the Hollywoods and the Bollywoods. Lol. Ok, don’t mind me…
Being romantic is something that comes natural for a lot of people, but for others, it is a necessary skill that must be acquired, especially if you’re gonna be dating. Being romantic toward your partner is a way of showing them you really do appreciate their presence in your life; it can add a bit of dynamism and spice to your relationship, and goes a long way in keeping the flame alive.
So how really, how can one really be romantic to their partner? It is a little difficult to say that this is particularly “how” because we all differ as individuals, and what a person considers romantic may be “unromantic” to another. So what I have done is put together a few gestures according to respondents in a poll I conducted; gestures that they find attractive or romantic. I have four of them and I shall discuss them in details, and after you read them, do not forget to tell us what you consider romantic, yourself.
1. PAY ATTENTION
Paying attention to your partner can help you know even the slightest detail about them, and trust me, this can be sweet. The more attention you pay, the more you tend to understand, and the more you understand, the more attractive you appear. We all love it when that special someone is attentive enough to notice when we’re emotionally down, sad or happy. It is cute because it means that we’re appreciated and valued enough. Noticing little details like your partner wearing a new dress, pair of shoes or even new nails will definitely score you high in the romance department.
2. COMPLIMENT THEM
When you notice your partner wearing a new pair of shoes or clothes, you don’t look away or pretend not to notice; a simple, “you look great in those (that)” is necessary because it can go a long way in endearing you to your partner even more. Complimentary remarks have been proven to be one of the easiest ways to win a heart(s). Complimenting your partner shouldn’t begin or end with their new pair of shoes, it should be continuous; make it a habit. Every now and then shower praises on your partner and tell them all the nice things you can think of.
3. BE IMPULSIVE AND UNPREDICTABLE
Spontaneity is one of the sexiest qualities a person can have, and channeling that quality into your relationship positively can make you more attractive than you could imagine. When someone is impulsive, you never know what to expect from them and that’s because impulsive people do not think and act like conventional people do, rather they do the unusual and unexpected. An impulsive person would steal away a kiss when you least expect it or give you a surprise present even when it isn’t your birthday. Romance with an unpredictable person is like a wild adventure, there are endless surprises.
4. SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH THEM
Nothing spells “unromantic” than not spending enough time with your partner. No matter how busy or tight your schedule may seem, every once in a while, make out time to be with the person you love. The more time you and your partner spend together, the more chances your bond has to grow because you get to share experiences, thoughts and feelings. It doesn’t have to be an expensive dinner outing, it can be right there in the comfort of your living room; all that matters is that you get to be together.
So that is my idea of how you can be romantic to your partner. Remember, the primary key to it all is knowing how much your partner means to you; appreciating what you have and having some self-confidence. If you have these locked down, and apply the things I listed above, you are sure to impress in the romance department.
