Contrary to what you see in the movies, flowers, chocolate and big romantic gestures are not the most important thing in a relationship. If your girlfriend knows you love her, that should be enough. Not all women like their men to be overly romantic anyway.
On the other hand, if your girlfriend is the romantic kind, you could really make her day by doing something sweet for her. If you're not sure whether she likes that kind of thing or not, the best thing you can do is ask her.
Easy Ways To Be Romantic
- Text her out of the blue to tell her you love her.
- Hold her hand in public.
- If you go to see a movie together, pay for her ticket. Don't panic, you don't have to watch a chick-flick with her! There'll usually be something showing that you both want to see. Compromise!
- Do things together that you wouldn't do with your male friends. That doesn't mean you can't sit and play video games together, but it just might be nice to do something else, too.
- Make her dinner occasionally. Even something easy like pasta will be appreciated.
- Show you care: This is more important than any grand gesture you could make. Help her with housework, ask her how she is, and look after her when she's sick.
