Practice Makes Perfect
by Bob Narindra
How many times have you wished you could be more romantic with your partner? Chances are that it has been more than once or twice. So, how do you overcome your romantic hang-ups and be the romantic you have always wanted to be? Listed below are 3 simple steps to help you.
Look at the situation and take stock of where you are.
This step really is about finding out what your partner would find romantic and being OK with it. Your partner's idea of romance maybe something completely different to your idea of romance. In Perspectives On Romance, I defined romance as the act of making your partner feel loved. To some people, romance may mean going out on the town in a chauffeur driven limousine or a candlelight dinner at home and then cuddling and watching a movie, while others may prefer a moonlight picnic in the woods. To some guys, romance may be as simple as bringing them a beer whenever they need a re-fill during a football game! The point is not to try to change your partner but to identify their romantic personality.
Make a list of romantic ideas that would appeal to your partner.
Once you have identified your partner's romantic personality, the next thing to do is to create an arsenal of romantic ideas that they would love. The first place to look would be the Romantic Ideas section which has almost 1200 different ideas for romance. Search through those ideas and pick out every single one of them that your partner would love. The more time you take on this step, the easier it will be to implement and the better your experience will be. You will also find an abundance of creative ideas in the Romantic Tools section and throughout the Lovingyou.com site.
Practice.
Now that you have the tools, it's time to sweep your partner off their feet and put them to good use. I know to some of you this is easier said than done, especially if you have never displayed your romantic side to this particular person before. To the many people out there that actually are "Romantically Challenged," the answer is practice. Movies can sometimes color real life and make it seem a lot easier than it is. How many times have you seen someone be completely, irresistibly romantic on screen and wondered if that was actually possible in real life? Well, it is possible and easy when you are well practiced in the art of romance. It is the same with anything you do: A great guitarist can play any tune ever written effortlessly by ear, not because they have a natural gift, but because they have been practicing the guitar for years. Yes, people do have talent, but a lot of the time, the talent comes from sustained practice.
