As the quote above says - play will reveal more than conversation. So get out there and play. Some of these ideas for a fun date stand alone - or you can do a bunch of them on a single date.
Romance - Fun Things to Do For Lovers
Before you get going all crazy on the Fun Things to do For Some Romance let me throw something at you. Have you ever heard of the book “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman? The five languages of love says that each of us connects to feeling loved in different ways. If you don’t understand this concept all of your romantic ideas may fall by the wayside. Check these out:
Quality Time
Focussed attention on the one that you love. It could just listening or sharing feelings and thoughts or it could be quality time with each other without distractions.
Words of Affirmation
Words, thoughts and feelings that support or promote greater confidence and to overcome insecurities.
Physical Affection and Intimacy
Making love is just a part of it. It may be a kiss or a hug or a gentle caress. Each person has different physical touches that they like more than others. Make sure you know your partner’s favorites.
Gifts
Some people see gifts as symbols of how much you care for them. Some people couldn’t care less.
Acts of Service
Couples usually do a host of chores. Somebody needs to cook, clean, do laundry, wash the car or whatever. Some people absolutely hate certain chores and are as pleased as punch when you do it for them. Find out the chores that your mate appreciates the most when you do them and then do those chores - and score a bunch of love points. Some chores, well they can’t do by themselves (wink, wink, nudge nudge) and will be extremely grateful to you for your efforts.
Now why does this all matter? Well if your mate speaks the language of service and all you do is buy gifts or leave love notes they will feel that they are not loved and you will feel that your efforts are not appreciated. So instead of guessing or providing the wrong actions to prove your love - just ask them - how do you know when you feel loved? What actions can I take to make you feel special and loved? Once you figure it out for each other it will be a lot easier to tickle each others romance buttons.
