Romantic Tips

As Feb. 14 approaches, the pressure for your partner to plan the perfect date night increases. Give our simple, yet helpful, tips to your significant other to help ease the stress of organizing a romantic evening and provide some simple ways to keep the sparkle in your relationship alive year-round.

  1. Chivalry is definitely not dead.
    A thoughtful romantic gesture such as opening the door still goes a long way. Such simple but kind gestures show that you care enough to go the extra mile.
  2. Make an effort.
    Putting effort into the relationship is a great way to express your love and gratitude to your partner. Surprise her with a homemade dinner, or write her a heartfelt note. Sweet surprises are a fun way to remind your significant other of his or her importance, and inspire a smile.
  3. Old-fashioned dates are still in style.
    In an age in which people are immersed in technology, face-to-face interactions are more appreciated than ever, especially in a relationship. Keep the romance alive by taking your partner on dates, even if it’s just running down the street for coffee and scones. The important thing is being together – not texting.

This key rule goes for any relationship or friendship: Be an active listener. When your partner is talking about something that concerns or inspires him or her, actively respond and relate to what is being said. Everyone appreciates a person who takes the time to listen, and it always leads to a deeper connection in the end.
