Being romantic doesn't come easy for most people and what may seem romantic to some, just might turn others off. The key is to explore and discover what your partner enjoys and what they feel is romantic. Once you have an idea what they like, it's up to you to set up the right scenario for an enjoyable experience. Romantic moments are based on timing and details. Timing is everything and the details bring romance to life!
For most men, love and romance does not always go hand in hand. You don't have to "romance" most men and many of them lack the knowledge, and unfortunately, the desire to initiate a romantic moment. "Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma'am" and most men are usually happy. |
One easy way to set the stage for a romantic evening is to make sure various chores around the house are done. If the kitchen is clean, the trash is out and the laundry is done, your partner will have more time available to engage in romantic moments. If there's too much to do, then unfortunately romance usually takes a back seat to long lists of things that need to be done. |
Much to the dismay of most women, there is a small percentage of men that put forth effort in the romance department on a regular basis. For those men that do, well... they are usually already spoken for. Women, on the other hand, generally enjoy being "romanced" and women tend to put forth more effort in the romancing department than men usually do.
Their loving and caring nature no doubt drives them to be more proactive in this area and more men would enjoy romantic moments if they would be a little more proactive themselves. A recent poll of women married longer than five years revealed that many grow tired of trying to romance their husbands and they feel their efforts are in vain. Over half of the women interviewed stated their husbands would enjoy more Bunny Up Moments if they would be more proactive in the romance department. Listen up men!!!
Additional research has revealed that fresh fruit and other light foods help keep couples full and hydrated, but not too full to engage in Bunny Up Moments. Wine is also a preference to help relax the mind and body, but to much wine tends to make many couples sleepy.

For those that engage in physical activity whether it be working out, cleaning the house or physical activity while on the job, it has been noted on many occasions that "cleanliness is next to godliness". Your odds of romance and a following Bunny Up Moment increase significantly if your body is clean!
Timing, of course, is everything when it comes to romance. If you are planning an outdoor adventure or a relaxing evening watching the sunset, a little thing called weather could crush your efforts. Detailed planning for romantic moments should include a check on the weather forcast for your area. Even if your activities are indoors, weather patters may have an impact on your plans if your activites include travel to a specific location or delivery from a business for products and/or services.
In addition to weather, travel conditions or delays should be considered for your romantic planning. If you are going to a specific event, be sure to plan ahead so you know where you are going, where you should park and how much time you will need to arrive on time. For those of you planning a romantic dinner at a restaurant or other location, make sure you check ahead of time for availability. Some locations may require reservations ahead of time while other locations will take "call ahead seating". If you are determined to visit a location that is frequently on a wait during the day and time of your planned visit, it helps to have an alternate plan just in case.
Being romantic doesn't always mean planning a special event or doing something spectacular a couple times a year. It's the small things that count over time. Small gifts, little treats, hand written notes left for your partner in random locations. Consistency is the key and doing things throughout the month and year will bring your relationship much more pleasure than doing something great once or twice a year.
Building and enjoying a wonderful relationship is a continuous juggling act that requires regular and consistent effort. It's similar to playing a game of volleyball. You need to consistently put forth effort into pushing the ball (and your relationship) up while other forces such as gravity (people, work, every day life) work against you to bring it down. Once you stop putting forth effort, the relationship will no doubt fall. Staying positive, putting forth consistent effort and finding different techniques to make your relationship stay high above the ground will make everything much easier and more enjoyable than trying to make last minute decisions and effort to save your relationship.
