How to Keep the Romance
in Your Gay or Lesbian Relationship
--
Because we can all use
little reminders in the romance department!
Here are
some tips on how to keep the romance in your gay or lesbian relationship:
100 Reasons Write on paper every single reason that you can think of why
you love him or her. Try to come up with at least 100.
2 Truths and a Lie On your first date, tell your partner three things, make one
of them a lie. Then let them spend the rest of the
evening asking questions to figure out which one isn't true.
It's really fun and a great way to get to know each other.
A Gesture Every Day Don't let a day go by without letting your partner know you're
thinking about them. A short note written on a post-it
is simple and let's them know how you feel.
A Sweet Dream Tell them "Sweet dreams." before you hang up the
phone. It does wonders.
A Time To Hold The best thing to do is to fall asleep in someone's arms and
to wake up there knowing that you were held all night long by
someone you love... It doesn't have to be anything beyond
cuddling.
A Cheap Date Pack a picnic basket and head to the closest rest stop.
You won't believe how romantic and memorable this can be.
A Touch Is Worth A Thousand Words Caress, cuddle and massage your way into your partner's heart.
Act Like A Kid Again It is fun to act like a kid again, you and your mate can go
for a walk to the park after dark, or go to an indoor
amusement park and have a blast.
I Love You Too Don't forget the words do have meaning, let your partner know
you love him/her.
I'd Like To Have... Pick one day a week to call your partner and ask him/her what
she would like you to bring home, ie: hugs, kisses, or even a
massage.
It's The Little Things.. A little token or two to show how much you care is always
appreciated. If he's sick, bring him hot soup. If he's upset,
bring him flowers... spend some time with him.
Just The Two Of Us Take your loved one to a place away from the hustle and bustle
of town life. Take a blanket and place it under the trees lie
and cuddle the entire afternoon and then watch the moon rise
from behind a mountain, and remember how special the person
you are with is!
Kiss A Day Kiss your life partner daily before you go to sleep even if
your terms not good. If you are unable to kiss today tomorrow
you give two.
Notebook of Ideas If you don't have the time or energy to try all of these
things, then make a note of your favorites, and keep up the
notebook by writing some of your own. Refer back to this
notebook when you have the time.
Open Your Heart Often the greatest way to show your love is by giving someone
your trust. Open up and tell your mate something about you
that no one else knows. It's a sure fire way to let them know
how special they are and how much they mean to you.
Pampering Your Partner Every day, one of you can do something to pamper the other
one. Facials, pedicures, massages, a hot meal, a bath... it
doesn't matter!!! It will keep you close and you will
find it very relaxing to take care of each other. Give
it a try...it does wonders in the bedroom too!!
Pay
Attention The best way that I have found to show that you love that
person is to pay attention to what they tell you. It's a very
easy thing to do but it is often overshadowed by personal
thoughts or wants.
Praise Your Mate Tell him/her that they are the best. Kiss often and comfort
each other by holding each other... anywhere.
Pull Each Other Close Just because it feels good.
Quality Not Quantity Sometimes it's hard to find quality time together and get to
bed at a reasonable hour. What you can try to do at
night is light some candles in the living room, lie down on
opposite sides of the couch, and just share about your day.
What a great way to relax and catch up.
Rainy Day Dance with your honey in the middle of the street in the rain.
This is what memories are made of.
Random Gifts Everyone loves receiving gifts, especially if they're
unexpected, no matter how big or small - anything will do!
Remain Playful There's nothing wrong with having a little fun sometimes.
It keeps us young. When was the last time you and your
partner played hide and seek in your backyard?
Remember Snail Mail? Buy (or make) a sweet and simple card. Write a sentence or two
about what he means to you...just because...and MAIL it...
everyone loves mail, and everyone loves sweet reminders!
Simple Pleasures Rub your partner's feet when he/she is really tired at the end
of the day.
Special Surprises One of the most romantic things you can do is to make your
partner a special surprise. Fill the room full of candles.
It's very romantic!
Sure you can think of many more romantic tips to show your
love - this should give you some good ideas!
