How Romantic Are You?


When thinking about romance, we have to look at ourselves in the mirror to figure out just how romantic we are currently. Are we a hopeless romantic- a person who is consistently romantic and always looking for new ways to romance their mate? Are we romantic on occasion- when the time presents itself, we take full advantage of it (for instance on Valentine's Day or your mate's birthday). Or are you romantic only when your mate expresses that she/he wishes that you would be? 
I myself, would say that I am a hopeless romantic because I see romance in practically everything. Movies, music, older couples, childhood sweethearts, shopping and more! I love everything that can be considered romance and enjoy helping others set up romantic experiences for their mates.

 If you are reading my blog, then something in you is curious about being more romantic in your life. Since I have not been writing for a while, lets go back to a few previous blogs. In my blog, What is Romance, http://romancequeen101.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-is-romance.html, I defined what romance was to me. I also shared some definitions of romance with you from reputable sources. In that blog post I also shared my list of Romantic Traits. Among them were expressive, sweet, loving, pleasurable and emotional. If you exude these traits in doing little things for your mate, you are already creating a romantic experience for your loved one. Putting your feelings and emotions into anything you do for your mate can be a romantic gesture that is meaningful and memorable for them. 

 It is easy to be romantic when the Romance Traits are expressed towards someone that you love. Love, attraction and a genuine interest in someone is very important when you want to be romantic as we discussed before http://romancequeen101.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-motivates-romance.html. Without a genuine interest and attraction for someone it is very hard to be romantic. If your heart is not motivated to want to please someone then its hard to be romantic with them. It is also hard to be romantic with someone who doesn't appreciate it. Nonetheless, if you desire to be more romantic or are romantic already, keeping romance alive and having a healthy, loving and lasting romantic relationship is an ongoing commitment to your relationship that both of you deserve. 

 Whether, you are a hopeless romantic or you are the occasional romantic or maybe even the begrudged romantic, romance can be fun, healthy, sexy, therapeutic and beneficial to your relationship in many ways.  You just have to decide how romantic you want to be with your special someone or if you think its time to become a romantic person to enhance your current relationship or possibly your future one!
Take a moment to read the past blogs and refresh your memory on the Romance Traits and Keys to Romance before we continue... In our next blog we will discuss what are some reasons why people choose not to be romantic. See you then.

September is Take Your Man on a Date Month!

Image
Hello ladies! September has been designated for TAKING your man on a date month! I love this month because it gives the ladies the chance to show their romantic side, what they like to do on dates from a woman's perspective and give the guys pointers just in case they are clueless the other months.  So whether you have one special guy or you are dating a couple guys, here are some pointers: 1. Ask him formally on a date. 2. Plan the date yourself based on things he likes to do, places he likes to go and ideas you've heard him talk about. 3. Do not make it a group event. Tho I am sure your man likes to watch the game with the boys, inviting yourself to watch it with them as your "date" is not acceptable. 4. Do things on the date that you would like him to do for you. I always think its fun to reverse the roles during the time, by opening the door for him and ordering his favorite meal off the menu. Guys get a kick out of being spoiled especially when

Cater to Him- Part 1 of 2

Image
I would not write about anything that I don't do myself, so one thing that I have found important to me is catering to my man. Our men are dealing with the stresses of life, providing for his home successfully, and is a respected contributor to his community. When he comes home, he should come home to a woman who appreciates his achievements, loves him for who he is, supports him in all his efforts, and is there to take care of his needs. Now don't get me wrong, I am sure that some of you immediately thought "taking care of his needs" meant sexually, and that is involved BUT taking care of his needs is about CATERING TO HIM and showing him that he is the man of the house and that you are have his back. Its also about showing your adoration for him in many ways. 3 ways you can cater to your man are: * Keeping his belly full.  The saying "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" will never get old. Making sure he is fed and fixing things yo

Single and Romantic Dating Group

Image
I have many singles who are also hopeless romantics like me. So I started a Single & Romantic group on Facebook for those who are single and actively dating. This group will give singles dating and singles tips plus it will be a great way to meet singles online who also want ROMANCE in their lives. Just because you are single doesn't mean that you can't be romantic when you are dating. I know that I appreciate a romantic man and a romantic man will get my attention over a man who is not romantic. Its the little things that count when you are dating such as texts to say I am thinking about you, the initiative to ask me out on a date, wanting to spend time with me, flowers when I open the door for you to pick me up, holding my hand as we walk into a restaurant, feeding me dessert and many other romantic gestures.  Some people are not comfortable being romantic while they are dating or do not know the right time to be romantic when dating. But their are levels to being ro
