Men: Go From Dismal Disaster to Don Juan in No Time Flat
Despite popular belief, being a romantic man does not take being the best looking man or smartest man in the world. Nor does it really take too much back-breaking effort. It simply takes a desire to observe and listen to your partner carefully and to figure out how to integrate the romantic and unexpected into your daily activities. (Please keep in mind that the writing of this article pre-supposes that you know your beloved well enough to know about her likes and dislikes). Here are some general guidelines for turning the routine into the romantic.
1. Instead of feeling the pressure to spend money on eating out every night, agree on a few nights a week that you devote to cooking dinner for one another.
2. Movies on the big screen are magical to most, but a good snuggle night on the sofa doesn't hurt either-make it a Blockbuster night for your beloved with no one else to bother you.

6. Are you a bit under the weather? Is stress stifling your otherwise sunny nature? She LOVES YOU! Don't forget to tell her (as nicely as possible even if you feel like snapping) how she can be a part of your healing and stress relief. Share your worries and concerns. You are in your life together.
7. Is she sensitive in any particular emotional and/or physical areas? Don't forget to display a little bit of affection and to provide some verbal reassurance that you (the one she loves) are still with her and as in love with her as she is with you. You can do this in a variety of ways from a gentle kiss to stroking her hair gently or playing footsie under the table. Before you tread, though, figure out just exactly
