Romance can be a peaceful evening or a walk, but also a romantic dinner by candlelight or a trip. The most important thing to keep in mind is that romance is all around us, even in the smallest everyday things.
Unfortunately, if there is romance at the beginning of the relationship, it is often lost later, so we often replace it or identify it with something that it is not.
Therefore, we single out for you the ten most common misconceptions about what some people think is romance or what it takes to be romantic.
1. Romance and sex are the same thing
Although romance can lead to sex, a person who is romantic just because of it is actually only playing the winning card. Understand romance as a mental foreplay and let the person you love know how much you think of it and that you have made an extra effort to show it.
2. Romance is not important in a relationship
Between our jobs, hobbies and all the other things we have to do every day, it often happens that our relationship partners are neglected, because of the "more important" things in life. In reality, a relationship with your partner is something that holds everything else in your life together. With romance, you will not only make the relationship more interesting, but you will also enjoy it more.
3. Romance takes a lot of money
Romance is not the amount of money you spend for a partner but the fulfillment of his desires and dreams. For example, when you tell your partner that he looks good or take him to a place he likes or fulfill a wish, you have already been romantic. A small token of attention can mean more than buying an expensive gift.
Of course, certain aspects of romance may take longer, but romance is also in the small things that can mean a lot to a relationship. If you want to relax at the end of the day, dim the lights, play your favorite music. When serving food, dance in the kitchen with your partner or prepare a fragrant bath for him and relax together. All of these things don't take much time, but they are really effective.
5. Only women are romantic
In most relationships, women are considered more romantic, which should not be the case at all. Both women and men should contribute to romance. The only difference between a romantic and a non-romantic person is how much time that person devotes to just the little signs of attention.
6. Flowers and chocolates always burn
Although these gifts are a nice gesture, they have also already become clichés. Of course, it is nice to receive them as a gift, but you must let a man know that being romantic does not mean bringing a gift without any reason. Maybe he will tell you how much he loves and appreciates you, or he will give you that gift at the place where you met, it will surely make you even happier.
7. You are either born romantic or you are not
It is true that no one is born romantic. Everyone must learn how to be romantic, either with family and friends or from books and movies. What is wonderful about romance is that it is "contagious". Once you try it, you want more, and your partner will surely be more romantic in return.
8. Saying "I love you" is enough
Everyone loves to hear those two sweet words, but when it comes to romance, deeds speak louder than words. If you are really romantic, back up your words with something your partner will remember. For example, with a fork on cheese or butter before eating, write "I love you" and put it on the table. It will not go unnoticed.
9. Romance requires a lot of preparation
What is most beautiful about romance is that there is no exact formula - that is, what some people consider romantic, others do not represent romance. What is crucial is that you as a couple find your formula or perhaps better said a dose of romance. Do not hesitate to talk to your partner. Express your desires and vice versa.
10. Just be romantic on Valentine’s Day
On that day, everyone expects romance, which in the end does not turn out the way we imagined. If you really mean it then your relationship lacks spontaneity and impulsivity.
Romance is not a pretense, but a sincere desire to make your partner happy, make him happy and show how much you care. We often see excessive and unrealistic "doses" of romance in movies and books. Start with your small doses and enjoy yourself, that is, don't think. Indulge all your senses and follow your instinct…
