This is why men should not read Nicholas Sparks novels. Haha!

A Key to Romance:

Remember that "making Love" means more than the actual act of sexual intercourse, it is the way you show kindness, grace, and dignity to the other person. Its not criticizing one's little flaws, but realizing those flaws are what makes that other person so very special.

When you make that other person feel that they are the only mortal-person on earth that really matters, when you show humility to that other person, and acknowledge them and what makes them, them; this is romantic too!

Showing interest in what the other person loves to talk about and do, more than yourself. See yourself as the other person's servant, not master. Seek to serve the other, but be equal in so doing. Not subservient, but giving service.

Be positive, not negative.

Treat the other person well and sweetly, but treat all others this way too, this will cause one to grow in all ways, even romantically.


Guys, be willing to watch chick-flicks and eat popcorn and chocolate enmass!

Girls, go easy on the guy, chances are he is trying to get it right, though you may already know what you want.

Be direct, honest, kind, outgoing, and Smile!

True romance comes from actually being loving, not from lust. Sex in and of itself is not enough to make real relationships that last; there must be more to the relationship.

Sure, open doors, serve the other first, be polite, but more than all this, do it consistently ( even after you've been together a million plus years! ) :-)
