40+ Creative Romantic Ideas

Quick Romantic Ideas

If you don’t have as much time as you’d like for love, try these swift but sweet romance tips:

Write “I love you” on the bathroom mirror with a piece of soap.
Place a little love note or poem under the driver’s-side windshield wiper of his or her car.
Every once in a while, kiss her hand with a flourish. Note: The proper way to kiss a woman’s hand is to lower your lips to her hand. You don’t raise her hand to your lips.
Have “your song” playing on the stereo when your partner returns home from work.
When out together in public, wink at your partner from across the room.
On your partner’s birthday, send a thank-you card to his/her mother.
Unplug the TV. Put a note on the screen saying, “Turn me on instead.”
Make a toast to one another every time you hold a wineglass. Make eye contact. Take turns making the toast. Whisper it.
Get the whole “family of products” in the fragrance of her favorite perfume (bath powder, soaps, cremes, candles, etc.)
Call your partner from work for no other reason than to say, “I love you.”

Looking for a tried-and-true method for declaring your love? Consider these classic romance tips:

Spread rose petals all over the bedroom.
What could be more classic than a fine gold locket with your photo inside? (Maybe a photo of the two of you.)
Bring home one small, unexpected gift each week.
Write a classic, romantic, passionate, handwritten, heartfelt love letter. Most adults haven’t written a love letter since high school. (Why not? Have we lost our youthful idealism, or have we just gotten lazy?)
When traveling, give your partner a bouquet of roses; one rose for each day that you’ll be away. Attach a note that says something like this: “These three roses represent the three days I’ll be away from you. They also symbolize the love, joy, and laughter we share together.”
Say “I love you” at least three times a day.
Guys: Surprise her by performing one of her chores for her. (And not something easy like carrying the groceries in from the car, but something that requires some time and effort — like cooking all the meals over a weekend, or cleaning the entire house.)
Ladies: Send him a letter sealed with a kiss. (Use your reddest lipstick.)
Hold hands.
On your yearly romantic checklist, make plans for Valentine’s Day—well in advance!
