The Art Of Romance - Five Tips On Being More Romantic

Marc Sandford
Most guys know that a masculine appearance is a turn on for women. Some spend hours in the gym to achieve a chiseled physique and perhaps will even choose their dress to project a macho look. So far, so good but there's something else they've overlooked that is very powerful in keeping a lady's interest.

This has to do with knowing how to be the romantic Don Juan type. Women can't resist it and Hollywood has been saying this for a very long time.

Here are some pointers to get you started in the right direction:

1.) If she is into the outdoors, go on a picnic. An old fashion picnic can easily become a very romantic occasion. Spend a lazy summer afternoon cuddled up on a hammock watching the clouds and chatting. A nice variation is to do the same on a warm night with a full moon.

2.) Centuries ago, the love letter and poetry of love were an artistic production. They're not in fashion now, but things old fashioned and romance seem to go together. Get a book of love poetry, choose a poem and change it so that she'll think that it was penned by you. Place 'your' poem in a box of expensive chocolates and gift wrap it.

3.) Do a little flirting with your lady. Flirtation is often employed as an opening move in beginning a relationship with a woman. However, making it a habit after you've won her over will make the relationship stronger.

Teasing her in a way that's playful can also be quite effective. Just be careful to avoid any insecurities that she might have.

4.) If she wants to tell you how her day went, stop whatever it is that you are doing and give her your full attention. Don't try to do this when you're reading the newspaper or viewing the TV. Giving her your undivided attention is crucial to letting her know that you're there for her.


Avoid offering any advice. She's not seeking an answer or info. She wants to convey her subjective feelings and wants emotional support.

5.) Go and do something completely out of the blue. Women like to be taken by surprise. The thing about surprises is that you are going to do something that you normally would not do.

It may mean leaving your comfort zone a bit. If you are the stay-at-home type then spend the night (or weekend) on a well thought out romantic outing. Planning in advance is important because no plan means that you will fall back on the same old routines. Doing the usual routine is not what a surprise is about. There's nothing less romantic than asking her: "Well? Now what?"

If you're the matter-of-fact, practical type, this will seem especially hard to do. However, you have one big advantage over the experienced romantics: any romantic gesture coming out of you is going to be huge with her because it's the last thing that she's expecting from you. You have the element of surprise on your side.

There is a creative element to being a romantic but with enough practice, it will become second nature.
