I have shared many conversations with men about what women enjoy when it comes to being romanticized. Does this always mean expensive dinners at a local hotspot or a weekend getaway to some fancy hotel? The answer is no. If you set a precedent as being a big spender on the first few dates, you are setting up the situation to continue in this manner. You need to see if there is any type of romantic connection between you both before you plan extravagant dates.

Some men relay that many women are high-maintenance and expect to be spoiled on a date.

It is up to you who you choose to spend time with and if you are continually attracting entitled women, then you need to figure out why you keep going back to date a similar type. I can honestly tell you, from my female client perspective and personal friendships, that there are many great women out there who are happy to go for a coffee or a walk, while they get to know someone. They prefer to have an ambiance that is comfortable and less intimidating than a fancy restaurant.

If you are experiencing a repetitive negative scenario, change up who you would usually gravitate toward and start looking outside the box you may have created for yourself. You can also alter your social settings/environments that attract a more down-to-earth clientele. It is important to note that if you are only choosing women due to their looks and jumping into bed quickly, you are overlooking getting to know anything concrete about who they are. Romance isn’t always about sex to a woman.

Let’s talk about what type of romance women like. Here are 10 ideas:

1. Women enjoy it when a man makes them a home-cooked meal. The fact that you planned out the dinner date and put thought into the preparation, makes her feel special.
2. Send them a sweet text during the day or before a date to let them know you’re thinking of them, and that you are looking forward to seeing them. The little things go a long way with most women.
3. Compliment them about certain characteristics of their personality that you enjoy. This shows a woman that you see her beyond just her physical appearance.
4. Many women love to hold hands when they go for a walk with their man, and also across from the dinner table on a date. This shows that you are not only interested in being with her, but you are proud to be, as well. (You’re not afraid to share a little PDA.)
5. It is always a good idea to ask a woman what romance means to her. Everyone is unique, and understanding what makes her feel special, is always appreciated and helps you out at the same time.
6. Take her on a romantic mystery date. Plan everything out, be secretive, and just ask her to be ready at a certain time. Making an effort like this shows her you are thinking about her even when you’re not together, and that you are prioritizing her. (Give her a little hint on what to wear, though, so she doesn’t end up wearing a dress and heels if you have organized a scenic walk on a hiking trail.)
7. Women love openly romantic conversations where a man shows interest in having a reciprocated discussion. Women don’t always feel that men listen to what is being said, which doesn’t make them feel heard or appreciated.
8. Do little things for a woman without having to be asked. If she expresses she loves Thai food, surprise her with takeout and a bottle of wine for an afternoon picnic.
9. Light a few candles and put on some romantic music when you’re having a date night at home. This may sound cliché or a little generic, but most women enjoy having a man’s undivided attention in this type of soft setting. (I love that my husband lights candles when we have breakfast together! ❤️)
10. Buy her a small gift for no reason. She may have told you she loves strawberry ice cream during a conversation, and it would be a wonderful gesture if you were to show up at her front door with a carton before a date.

Hey guys, I understand that a number of men don’t know what they are supposed to do anymore because some women are pretty vocal about what they want, and don’t want, when it comes to dating today. The answer here is to look at the person you are interested in and pay close attention to her actions. If she is unappreciative of you and has over-the-top expectations, you will know fairly quickly that she’s not the woman you want to invest time with.

You want to meet a woman who is an extension of who you are and has similar morals and values. Of course, you want to be attracted to somebody and have powerful sexual chemistry, but don’t make that your first priority, each time you meet someone. Find out who she is and what other attributes she has. Is she funny, confident, interesting and fun to be with? Once a woman trusts you, she will be able to open up and be more comfortable in your presence. Adding sincerity and romance into the equation helps her to build upon that trust with you.

Women like to be emotionally connected to their partners. Romance is very important for her to feel that connection.

Being thoughtful and affectionate are two big gestures that women love. Giving her sweet compliments that you find her attractive is always appreciated. Intimacy is important, but romantic foreplay outside the bedroom is the way to a woman’s heart. She wants to feel appreciated and valued before anything else. The little things a man does become big things to a woman. She will embrace your thoughtfulness and will always hold on to those romantic memories you create.

It’s not that difficult to maintain a romantic connection with your partner. It’s really just about being aware of what makes your lady comfortable, what makes her smile, and what makes her truly happy. When a woman feels content with her man, it becomes a reciprocated connection that keeps evolving. She wants to give back to you as well!

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together as a couple if you always maintain a romantic rapport with your partner. That is the simple key to keep the love flourishing for many years to come. Some couples start to become complacent, and this is what causes the relationship to change. If you are always loving and romantic with each other, you won’t have to deal with this scenario because you understand the importance of nurturing the love between you.

In Closing

Romance needs to be reciprocated for a relationship to thrive. It’s not only one person’s job to keep that a focal point. Both people have to be on board and make their partner feel special regularly. If you do one small romantic thing every day for each other, you will continue to always stay close. Respect and appreciate the effort you both make to prioritize your love, and always be grateful for each other.
