Reader Question: Keeping the Romance Alive

TJ from Australia sent me this question: “I’ve been in a relationship for five years but I’m finding it difficult to keep the romance alive. Do you have any advice for how to keep my woman interested in me and knowing that I’m still interested in her?”

Here are some tips you can try to keep the flame of passion burning!

Cuddle up in front of the TV
Over time we get used to our own routines and can forget how we used to behave when we first met. Don’t sit at opposite ends of the couch ignoring each other, cuddle up, stroke her hair or rub her feet. During the ads, turn off the sound and give her your full attention for a passionate kiss. You can bet she’ll not be complaining about watching TV after that!

Make dinner a big deal
Instead of dinner on your lap watching TV, watch her reaction when she comes home to a dinner you’ve prepared with candles on the table, a good bottle of wine and romantic music playing. Go a step further and get dressed up to impress her – good pants & a smart shirt. You won’t have to do it often but when you do, do it properly as if it’s a first date and you want to win this girl’s heart.

Kiss her like you mean it!
Women love being kissed properly, especially when they’re not expecting it. Next time you’re leaving for work, don’t peck her on the cheek, hold her face in your hands and give her a big smacker on the lips! Go the whole way and tell her how much she means to you in between kisses and you can be sure of a warm reception when you come home!

Dance together!
Take the initiative and lead your lady around the living room to some seductive sounds. This can be anytime and will be especially appreciated during chores such as making dinner, ironing, housework, etc (even more so if you offer to help with the chores too!)

Date her!
For a bit of spice, imagine you’re going on a first date and write out three date ideas on some paper and get her to choose one at random. These should be different from your usual nights out – a new restaurant, a game of bowling, even a chick-flick at the movies. If you enter into the spirit and pretend you’re just getting to know each other then this will add another dimension to the whole experience.
