We’ve all been there: you’ve been dating
for a few months, things have been going great, and the future looks
rosy. But then, for some unknown reason, something seems to change; that
‘honeymoon’ period is wearing off. Here are our top 10 tips to keeping
that spark alive, and your girl’s eyes from straying…
1. If you’re at that stage, tell her you love her. It may sound
obvious, but this one small act could be the difference between a
romantic future and back to the bachelor pad.
2. Be honest with her; tell her how you feel.
I know us men are supposed to be scared of this, to ‘open
up’, but there’s really nothing to be afraid of. She’ll love the fact
you’re confiding in her, and your relationship will reach a new level of
closeness.
3. Compliment her. Lots. If you think she looks stunning in that
dress, don’t just think it, tell her. Not only will she love you for it,
but you’ll feel better for making her happy too.
4. Give her some romantic gifts, and not just on Valentine’s Day.
Flowers and chocolates may be a cliché, but when given out-of-the-blue,
and for no special occasion, they’re a sure-fire way to keep her wanting
more.
5. Make time to be together. After that heady honeymoon period
when you’re attached at the hip, you can both begin to resume your
normal lives, and that means less time together. Set aside as much time
as you can for some ‘together’ time.
6. Romance isn’t all about grand gestures or extravagant gifts –
little things can make her swoon too. Open the door for her, suggest a
stroll hand-in-hand, give her a foot massage after a hard day’s work.
7. Show a real interest in her. Ask her questions about her day,
and really listen. Most women love to talk, so give her the opportunity
to open up, and you’ll both feel closer and happier.
8. Show ambition. Most women don’t want to date a couch potato –
show her you have aspirations and she’s more likely to stick around for
the long haul.
9. Try new things together. Doing the same thing all the time is
perfectly natural during that ‘honeymoon’ period, when just being
together is all you need. But when that wears off, you need to keep
trying new things to keep the romance alive. Try a new restaurant, call
on her unexpectedly, take her for a weekend away to a place you’ve both
never been to before.
10. And the last tip is? To be yourself. If she wants to change
too many things about you, then she’s probably not the one. Be yourself,
and the right woman will love you forever.
