Being Romantic On Valentines Day

I was having coffee the other day with an old friend when suddenly the conversation turned to about being romantic in a relationship and why romance is no longer important (or maybe it is but is swept under the carpet) in this day of technology,iphones, ipads and what not where people are so busy on applications and games that there is little time for romance.

I started to ponder over this subject matter and since February is around the corner what better time to write about it if not now. I do know Valentine's Day is about a few weeks a way but exactly1 month from now the world will be celebrating Valentine's Day but that doesn't mean you can't show your partner some special attention now. You can always show your love for your partner in a small and different ways each day for a whole month prior to Valentine's Day and see what magic happens.

I have read many books on this subject matter and would like to share some of the ways one can be romatic if you are not already romantic. By the way, there is nothing expensive on this list so there is no excuse not to give this a shot.

• Write "I Love You" in the steam on the bathroom mirror after he/she takes a shower.
• Offer a back massage with some good smelling lotion
• Write a poem or better, greet your partner at night and read it to them with passion and then hand them the poem
• While in public, declare "I Love You..... Jane" (Not Jane, but your partner's name)
• Make a CD with a few songs that are meaningful to your relationship.
• Invite him/her to take bath complete with bubbles, Latte/ Capucino/wine/champagne and maybe a little romantic music in the bathroom
• Surprise him/her at work and take him/her out to lunch, maybe take-out food in the park or maybe to a little diner, for a midday romantic interlude
• Put together a little gift on his/her pillow: Chocolate/Rose Flower and a note that says "Your Love is like Chocolate: Sweet and delicious" (or maybe some other romantic message of your like)
• Dedicate a song to him/her on the radio and send him/her an email telling him/her to listen
• If you can cook then cook a special love meal of your partner's favourite foods. Play his/her favourite music and turn the lights low for a romantic dinner. You can use candles instead of room light (Even better)
• Give your partner a pedicure and foot rub or body massage
• Send a text message or email that says "I Love You"
• Mail a card and inside write down the top 10 things you love about your partner (If not 10 at least write five.... lah)
• Give him a picture of you for his/her wallent that says "I Love You"
• Leave a love note in her/his car telling him/her to have a great day
• Carve your initials in a tree (If there are any trees left around)
• When your partner least expects it, give him/her a great big kiss, even if it is in public
• Go see a romantic movie(Or buy a romantic DVD/Blu-Ray movie), sit back row, hold hands and cuddle
• Declare that you will dedicate a particular day just to your partner to do whatever that you want to do with your partner. Maybe start with breakfast in bed
• Buy a tree (since there is a lack of trees nowadays) and invite partner to plant it with you explaining that this tree represents the love between you both that will grow over the years
• In the midst of talking about how your days went, the chores that need to be done, etc, interrupt and say "I have something important to tell you. I love you and here's why......." (Then list 5 things (or More) that you really appreciate about your partner. Finish with a Kiss and say, "Aah, ok, so you were talking about the washing machine giving some problems........."
• Write an old fashioned (Nothing beat the old style of love) and mail it. Be romantic and lavish.
• Find a hote that has a jacuzzi and book it for a one night getaway somewhere close but fun
• Blindfold your partner and drive them to the place where you had your first date, and have that date all over again
• Do something romantic and spontaneous, like picking a flower and giving it to her right on the spot
• Buy some sexy lingerie/underwear and give it to him/her
• Make a donation to charity in the name of your love for your partner
• Give your partner a card that tells how grateful you are to share your life with her/him
• Take a walk on the beach together. Run up ahead and write a message in the sand and then call your partner to see what you "Found". ( I know you never thought of this.:) ]
• Say "I Love You" everyday... commit to it and see the magic it can do
• Take an interest in your partner's interest. For a woman it might be watching a football game with your guy. And for men it might be going to see a chick-flick. Do it with a spirit of enthusiasm and love. Have Fun
• Surprise her by carrying her into the bedroom
• Always hold hand when walking together. Even when in the house always hold hands and kiss each other while walking to the kitchen or bedroom
• Always kiss each other when going to work in the morning and when you meet after work (This requires commitment from both of you)
• Cuddle each day while watching TV together
• Lie on his or her thighs
• Do laundry together
• Hand wash her panties/underwear for her

Now you tell me is this so expensive to do and be romantic.
