1001 Ways to Be Romantic

This is not normally the type of book that I read, but I needed some help in the romance department. I had trouble thinking of even the little things that should be oh so obvious. For me, nothing was obvious. I just needed help remembering to show the most basic gestures of love. I love my girlfriend, I just didn't show her nearly as often as I should. That's where this book comes in.

The book is exactly what the title suggests: 1001 ways to be romantic. Each suggestion is numbered, and there are really more than 1001 suggestions (some are numbered 532a, 532b, etc). As I was reading the book, I had a pen and a notepad next to me and I wrote down the ones that I thought I would be able to do and that would be possible to do in my relationship. I wrote down quite a few.

This book is just a list (in larger font and with explanations) of various ways of how to be romantic. As reading material, I would recommend reading a little bit at a time and finding tips that you find useful. This is not a book to read through in a single sitting. You can read through the book, taking notes as I did, or you can just flip to a page and take a suggestion to try. Either way, I think that everyone (specifically males) will find this a useful book. Highly recommended.

My then boyfriend and I went to Barnes and Noble and found this book which we enjoyed reading together over some tea. After we finished we had to place the book back on the shelf. However, not too much later my boyfriend presented this book to me as a gift. The best part was that he went through and circled everything he liked and marked out those that he disliked. I did the same and returned it to him. He gave me his resume and cover letter trying to sell himself to me as he would an employer-an idea from the book. It was darling! Now we are engaged to be married and I know that this is something we will continue to enjoy over the years. It has definitely been a trigger for our own creative means of romance.

My name is Kevin Decker (kevindecker.com) and as an Author, Coach, and Motivational Speaker I read a lot of books about people, their motivations, and their relationships. 1,001 Ways to Be Romantic gets an A+ from me.

This is a book about living a way of life that is caring, loving, and passionate. It's not just dating ideas, it's about framing your actions (201-217), attitudes (346-362), and thoughts (508-527) with romance.

I use 1,001 Ways to Be Romantic like a cookbook. If I need:

- ideas on music I look at 406-414;

- ideas for celebrations I look at 172-177;

- ideas for movies at 856-861,

- ideas for dining out 683-693,

- there are even ideas for generating more ideas 615-626.

There's even a bonus section with 101 extra Ways to Be Romantic.

I recommend you get a copy of 1,001 Ways to Be Romantic and cook up some romance for your relationship.

1,001 Ways To Be Romantic is a wonderful and imaginative 352 page compendium of ideas and things-to-do to enhance the romance in a relationship from new couples courting to seasoned marriage partners of many years. Ranging from singing silly songs on the answering machine, leaving erotic post-it-notes all over the house, and scented body lotion, to flirting shamelessly with your partner in public, dancing by yourselves in a candlelit living room, and reading aloud to each other before bed, the recommendations found throughout this ideal reference are fun, quirky, sexy, effective, and easy-to-do. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to instill romance in a new relationship or renewing the passions of a long-standing one.

Want to rent a romantic movie? Put a romantic CD on for atmosphere? Go away on a romantic vacation? This book has a lot of great suggestions for you and your sweetheart.
