Perhaps you will schedule a
romantic dinner and stare at each other across the table, feeling you have
failed the test. Don’t despair! If you have neglected the
romance in your relationship for a while, or if you are uncomfortable
expressing your feelings, it is going to take some time and practice before you
become a ‘pro’. That’s OK. Most of us are not born
spouting love poems or reciting romantic movie scripts. It is more important that
you find a way to express who YOU are, rather than trying to play a role. If you find it easier to use
humor, then do so. You can be funny and romantic at the
same time! If you aren’t good at
writing or talking about your feelings, find a song or a poem to do it for
you. Your partner will LOVE YOU
for the effort and you will not feel inadequate in your expression of love. What is important is that you try, and
that you show that you care by your effort. But let us be clear! We’re not saying you have to ‘settle’,
because we KNOW that with a little effort you can make a splash with your
romantic expressions. You may not THINK you can
become the romantic lead in your own love story, but after you finish reading
this book, we feel certain you will score very high with your partner. Before we look at your
personal situation, there are a few – only a few – do’s and don’ts you’ll want
to remember as you prepare for ROMANCE: Ø
DO Be Yourself – don’t try to pretend you
are an actor in a movie. Remember that
your partner is with you because they care about YOU. You don’t have to PROVE anything! Ø
DO Use Your Creativity and Your Smarts – if you really apply yourself, you can think of
lots of things you know about your partner and use those things to come up with
creative ideas to please them.
