The popularity of viral videos of proposals, weddings and first dances can worry 95% of men trying to make a romantic gesture. How are you supposed to ‘top’ flash mob proposals or elaborate anniversary messages timed to music? Guess what? Real life romance is what women want.
Barack Obama: “… “it’s [the] tension between familiarity and mystery that makes for something strong, because, even as you build a life of … mutual support, you retain some sense of surprise or wonder about the other person.” Sure, theatrical type stuff is charming. But even better is the kind of experience that isn’t completely removed from normal life. Because something more down to earth is something that’s more likely to happen between special occasions, and romance woven into the every day existence of a relationship is the most meaningful of all. So whether it’s a homemade anniversary dinner, or a proposal (with no audience) at a location that’s special to you, if the romance is of a less showy variety, we’re still going to be happy. And when you throw in an unplanned detour to that spot, or whip up a weeknight meal, we’re going to be even happier. What’s better than a guy creating a special romantic night? Knowing that our love created a special romantic guy.
