Blueprint For Romance
at RomanticFlair.com

      Romance by definition is "a love story, a love affair". How does one live a life of romance? How can your life become a love story? You might think that romantic love is a prerequisite. But, actually, a romantic lifestyle is possible without even the intention of romantic love. Romance is a state-of-mind. Some of the manifestations of this state-of-mind are artistic or decorative expressions. Other expressions of this state-of-mind are the acts of romance rendered by one lover for another. How can you lead a romantic lifestyle, if you were not born with romantic flair?
     Most importantly, are you willing to affect your own mindset for romance? Are you willing to make changes in the way you think and in the way you do things that will translate into a romantic you? Romance is not difficult, once you decide this is how you want to be. To infuse your lifestyle with romance, practice the following with as much consistency as possible:

      1. Love yourself first, then you can love others. Drop the selfishness/self-absorption.
      2. patience (this can take real effort in today's fast-paced world).
      3. kindness
      4. devotion
      5. romantic ideas
      6. sensitivity to the needs of your lover
      7. excellent communication

      If you are intent on romantic love as a part of your romantic lifestyle, find a love interest with a romantic inclination. If you are married, check out our marriage romance pages, and ask your spouse if he or she would agree to a more exciting marriage. Using the word "romance" can be counterproductive at this stage, as many men equate romance with extra work! If your wife proves to be indifferent or suspicious, let her know that you would like to spend more quality time with her (time does not necessarily equal sex). There is a certain amount of diplomacy to romance, especially if your spouse is resistant. Don't ever let yourself show anger if your request is denied or put off. This will only make the process more difficult, and it may result in total resistance.
      You can begin to realize a romantic lifestyle by looking forward to romance with your love interest. Work on removing any romance killers from your style, and incorporate better romance techniques into your style. You might have to work on this for a while, before it becomes second nature.
