What’s your definition of romantic?

What do I think romantic is? This is not a simple question. It’s not a straightforward answer either.

I’m gonna digress like everybody else and it say that it’s not all about candlelight dinners and walks on the beach though those can be part of it, romance is a whole lot more.

Spontaneity

Unexpected surprises and fun events that take place during time out as a big part of romantic.

An unexpected storm something goes wrong with the meal. That’s not our fault. Something crazy happens in the restaurant. A full moon a meteor shower. Any unexpected surprises will add to romance.

Surprising somebody with a last-minute getaway and taking them and having everything all planned out and laid out ahead of time is always a good idea. Especially if it’s a getaway.

Its the Small Things That Count

Little things make a huge difference. If it’s just a little chivalry by standing on a slide of traffic while you hold their hand. Ordering the meal, after finding out what your date likes.

Flowers are nice, but they’re very unoriginal in this day and age. I find writing a poem or sharing that just before we leave is interesting and different. I am a writer so I guess that kind of helps.

Getting the doors, pulling out the chair and pushing it in, these finer points are important and that you care and that you want your date to feel special.

Lots of surprises anything you can do to surprise your date is a great idea and I think very romantic.

Location Location Location

Places of natural beauty. Lovely, quiet sidewalk cafés with sweeping people watching views. Dark candle-lit restaurants. These are the ocean sunsets sun on the sea are all nice and add to the ambience.

Pay Attention (read that again!!)

Most important, pay attention, take someone to their favorite restaurant, for their favorite dessert, their favorite place to go and visit, or their favorite destination.

People want to know that you’re paying attention to them, but you know what they like that you listen to what they say demonstrating that on a date you plan out to me is very romantic.

Everything will work out for the best just take it one step at a time and be present the entire time and romance will flood through.

As always, thank you for reading.
