Flirting and being romantic is easy, but the challenge to men all over the world is coming up with ideas that will make a date exciting. Every woman who’s worth a second look has probably been on dates before, and it’s safe to say that quite a few of them have seen it all. From movie dates to coffee dates, to simple walks around town – she has probably done most of these things with her other dates.
Even if she is not the type to have gone on various dates, you still have to be at your romantic best when you’re out with her. Creating the perfect date takes some effort, but you don’t have to aim for perfection (and do away with the pressure). You can settle for ‘extremely romantic date’ instead.
Here’s a romantic date idea that won’t break the bank. Small bubble tubes (the kind that kids play with) are cheap, so bring a few if you’re planning on just walking around the park while talking and flirting. You can use the bubble tube when you’re sitting on a park bench or on the grass doing nothing but talk and relax.
The romantic part is using the bubbles as a tool for learning about each other. Share one story per bubble blow, or punctuate the end of a story with a stream of bubbles. In a park, during the day, bubbles float upward, which could be quite a sight if you and your woman are feeling sentimental and romantic.
Firecrackers
An alternative to blowing bubbles is lighting firecrackers. This is for those night time dates when you’re outside and you just feel like stargazing together. Small firecrackers are inexpensive, and they can be quite pretty to look at when you’re just sitting around doing nothing but sit close together.
Summertime weather is perfect for lighting small sparklers that only stay lighted for a few minutes. This activity will make any date feel like it’s the fourth of July.
Karaoke
Some guys think that singing karaoke is too passé, too corny and too common. I say they haven’t tried it one-on-one with a special lady. This is your chance to know what kind of music she likes best, and which songs mean a lot to her. Music has a way of making a woman feel deeper emotions. At the very least, you will be able to make her laugh and turn it into an opportunity for fun flirting with your singing.
Rent a karaoke box somewhere for more privacy. If you live alone or your parents are out, you can go for frisky karaoke. Making out cannot be avoided in a karaoke singing session, when she’s acting seductive while singing a love song to you. Pull your weight by singing something romantic, like ‘Michelle’ by the Beatles or some other classic love song.
Exploring The Five Love Languages And How To Express Love
Exploring The Five Love Languages And How To Express Love
Description
Being in a committed romantic relationship has led me to evaluate the way I want and need to be loved. I lay in bed, pondering what love is and how it manifests in my day to day. Discerning how I express love and how I need love expressed is crucial for building a healthy and loving relationship.
And so I flip to the pages of Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages.
The premise of the book is simple: learn how you and your partner interpret and express love so you can communicate and receive the love you need. Of the many ways to demonstrate love, Chapman suggests there are five core categories or “love languages”. They include Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.
Words of Affirmation: Many times women want a man to show them how they feel. To feel loved, they need dinners in 5-star restaurants, chocolate covered strawberries, and a bouquet of sunflowers “just because”. This, however, won’t emotionally satisfy a woman who speaks the language of Words of Affirmation. What moves them is loving words and unsolicited compliments porque se enamoran con los oidos.
Quality Time: How many women complain that their man doesn’t spend enough time with them? How many men feel their girlfriends and/or wives are nags who are never satisfied? “We spend Saturday together!” He boasts, proud of his efforts. “Yes, we did…on the coach…watching the game!” She seethes. To a woman whose love language is Quality Time, sitting beside him for hours isn’t enough. Physical presence isn’t enough. They need undivided attention. Any distractions, including a sports game, a phone conversation and/or texting, will leave them crushed.
Receiving Gifts: My cousin complains that her co-worker receives fancy gifts and wads of cash from her significant other. She, on other hand, is lucky if her boyfriend buys her a cocktail. My cousin stays with him, however, because her love language isn’t Receiving Gifts. Those who speak this language, on the other hand, wouldn’t stand for such material disregard. But those who need to feel love through gift giving aren’t materialistic. They just need to receive gifts, whether big or small, to feel they are a prize and that their partner is thoughtful.
Acts of Service: My momma often complains that no one helps her around the house. As soon as my step-father unexpectedly washes the dishes y sazona el pernil without being asked or told, she is all smiles. Mami is a perfect example of a woman who needs acts of service to feel loved. Even if she doesn’t allow him to take over her kitchen and home half the time, it makes her feel appreciated and cherished that he even cared to ask. But follow through is crucial. Talking the talk and not sweeping that floors will surely get him a cocotaso.
Physical Touch: The frisky couple sitting in your favorite restaurant represents the love language of physical touch. It doesn’t have to be about fucking (or making love if that’s what you do in the bedroom). As a matter a fact, a woman who needs physical touch will be satisfied with a 2-second back rub, a stroke of the cheek, or holding hands. Accessibility and being physically present is also vital. You cannot demonstrate physical touch if you are not there, ready and willing!
Ultimately, we may have more than one love language. My love language is a combination of Words of Affirmation and Quality Time. When my boyfriend utters, “Te quiero mucho,” I blush and my heart flutters. If I don’t hear kind, loving words regularly, I question his love. If there is a change in his amorous communication, I often feel forgotten and neglected. As for quality time, I need real time with my boyfriend where we communicate openly and effectively and simply enjoy one another. Whether it be dinner, the movies, dancing, drinks at bar, or staying in, I need that time to connect with him in order to feel loved.
I know this because I took the time to assess myself and the love that I need to feel fulfilled. My boyfriend, on the other hand, has yet to learn his love language. But you better believe he will be taking the assessment so we are both informed and I can provide the love he need desires and deserves.
I suggest you get to learning about your love languages.
