Romantic Ideas For The New Millennium

Growing up, I learned that the way to a woman’s heart was an expensive dinner, roses and chocolates. I don’t know why, perhaps it was Hollywood, perhaps it was my old fashioned parents. Having grown up, I’ve learned that this, like most pre-conceived notions about love, is a fallacy.

Once, many many moons ago, one man was the first to use the “romantic formula” described above. It worked so well for him that he told all his friends. Due to the time in history and newness of the nice dinner and flowers concept, this system of romance was brilliant for them too. All their dates were so impressed they fell in love, the couples got married had children and developed the whole valentine’s day and romantic products industry.

Its funny that after so many generations, the concept of dinner and flowers is still the standard when it comes to romance. Which is quite strange when you think about it. I mean, in an age of abundance, dinner out just isn’t special anymore. Its just what we do. We eat out with friends, with business associates, its a part of everyday living.

And flowers are the gift to suit all occasions. We give them to say sorry, at funerals, at weddings, at births, to say goodbye, to say welcome home. They are just common. Its little wonder I had such little dating success when employing the “dinner and flowers” strategies of romance.

So what is romance then in today’s age of abundance. To be honest, I’d argue it never has changed, to get it right, all we need to do is drop our pre-conceived ideas about it and start thinking.

Romance is about thought and effort. Its about understanding your partner and creating an experience that is just about her, one that will make her feel special. It is only in the understanding of your partner that you can create such an experience, so that’s where it all starts.

Your partner for example may really enjoy long drives. So instead of taking her out to a restaurant, some thought may reveal that a drive to a country winery, where lunch and a jazz band awaits, is a much better idea. Romance isn’t about the thing you do, its about the thought and intention that got you there.

So shut your mind to your preconceived ideas about romance and start listening to your woman. It should all start there. What you do on a date is not nearly as important as to how you came up with the idea. All the experience needs to do to be romantic, is show you lady that you are thoughtful and focused on her needs. Its that simple.
