Generally, guys aren’t all that romantic. At least, not the guys I know. Roses on the bed are hard to sleep on. Dim lighting is fine if there’s a game on. However if we call romance something else, we may have better luck getting into a man’s head a bit. What if we call it “making a connection”?
Men want to feel that they belong or that they are important. Women call that romance. Men don’t really have a name for it, but “making a connection” will do for now.
If you want your guy to know you love him and that you appreciate him, try to speak his language; just as you would like him to give it the ol’ college try to speak yours.
Candles and music and flowers aren’t usually part of men-speak. Here are a few things in a language that they understand:
#1. Dress up like you used to
Men wear nicer clothes when they want to show respect or when they want to look good for someone. It’s nice to have you want to look good for us. If he says something silly like, “What are you all dressed up for?” Tell him, “You.”
