Question:
How can I be more romantic?
Romantic Picnic
 | Take your lover on a picnic to a grassy field (wild life areas, unused parks, abandoned beaches, and grassy knolls are wonderful). Pack a blanket, some sandwiches, and a bottle of wine or sparkling water. Take his/her shoes off and rub feet. Fall asleep in the afternoon sun. Go for a romantic walk holding hands, taking your time to enjoy nature. |
I Love You
Try not to get into the habit of saying 'I Love You' on a routine basis, when the words have no meaning. Say them when you mean them, and make sure the meaning of those words is reflected in the tone of your voice and in your eyes to really have an effect.

Star Gazing
Spontaneously ask him or her to go star gazing with you. Pack a blanket and find a place where your view will be less obstructed by city lights. A field in the country, or hill top on the edge of town is perfect.
The Birthday
| Instead of giving just one birthday present on his/her birthday, give a small present each day of that month until the day of the his/her birthday. Gifts do not have to be elaborate or expensive. You can give a poem, a letter, a card, a promise, a lost sock, a matching button for the one he lost on his favorite coat, a picture of you... |
I'm Late!
If you are going to be late more than 15 minutes, call and let the other one know.
Brush Her Hair
Men, brush her hair for her unexpectedly. Take your time. Better yet, offer to shampoo and dry her hair.
BlindFold Date
Plan a special date to a romantic place, like a prepared picnic setting in an open field, or a nature walk through an enchanted forest. Blindfold your special other to add to the suspense of where you are going. Have everything ready when you get there, such as a blanket, bottle of wine, or a candle lit midnight brunch.
Proposing
If you are asking her to marry you, do it on your knees! There is nothing more powerful than this timeless example of chivalry. Order roses (or other flowers!) for your special someone by clicking the rose icon below:
The Traveling Salesperson
 | Whenever s/he leaves on a business trip, make sure to put something in his/her bag. If you are the one leaving, leave something behind where s/he will find it. Suggestions include: a card, a flower, a cork from a wine bottle you shared on a special nice, your panties, a poem, a picture, a wish... |
Gooey Chocolate Carmel Ice Cream
Fix a huge bowl of your favorite ice cream, as long as it is gooey and dripping in your favorite toppings such as caramel, chocolate, or strawberry. Whip cream and cherries are optional. Add one spoon. Now, share the special treat with your lover, taking turns feeding each other the ice cream delight. Want other romantic ideas? There are so many wonderful ideas in 1001 Ways To Be Romantic that it would take you years just to get through them all!
Pay Attention
Women, pay more attention to him than your children.
Who's Driving?
If he usually drives on a long trip, offer to do it for him.
Sharing the Fun of Nothing
Spend a day together doing... nothing! That is right. Plan to do nothing and then do whatever comes to mind, whether that be staying in bed till noon, or jumping up to watch the first rays of the sunrise. Let your shared mood steer the course of the day without worry about wasting time, following a set plan, or getting anything accomplished.
Moonlit Dinner Outdoors
Prepare an area in your own backyard or deck for a moonlit dinner. Add white Christmas lights ahead of time in trees or strung about the deck. Have a boombox or speakers to pipe in romantic music, and, do not forget the candles (and dinner!)
