The world of romance is very complicated and being romantic is sometimes the one thing that you need to have a successful relationship. And it can also be the one thing you lack which is why she left you for some Casanova.

If your tricks are as old as your pickup lines then you have no chance for romance. Being romantic gets you the girls. ‘Nuff said!
Of birthdays and anniversaries. Some people are not good with dates, I get it! But how hard can it be to get a planner and mark that one box in one month? In this time of Blackberry and palm pilot, it is positively unacceptable to forget important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries. No excuse and no late greetings either.

Pet Names. It might be overboard and bordering on cheesiness for some couples, but pet names work for some people. Having pet names is not just a cute version of your partner’s name plus baby talk. It’s intimacy, it’s cute, and sometimes it brings a couple closer together. Right cutesy? Haha. (*barf*)

What are your plans for tonight? I don’t know what’s your type between a fancy dinner and a sofa cuddle but whichever it is, make it work. Dating is not just for couples who hooked up just recently. It’s also for husbands and wives and for those couples who’ve been together for the longest time. Sometimes a relationship dissolves into an estrangement when couples don’t get to spend enough time with each other anymore because of domesticity. I say don’t let the sparks die by doing fun things together regularly.
