Romance is all about keeping the spark alive. It is an indefinable thing with the inquisitive property of being describable but not definable. We won't mess with your head and try to suggest there is an ultimate definition out there. Some people will try to do just that and come up with some tidy little definition, like, "Romance is showing you care". No doubt, it sounds good at first, but although wrapping your coat over a puddle and asking if she remembered to brush her teeth that morning may be actions triggered by this same motivation, they rate distinctly differently on the romance scale.

Although it's not so much a definition, as it is no more accurate than the word "romance" itself, one way to portray romance in a few words is "what women want out of a relationship\”. But though romance may not be definable, there are still some hard fast rules. Below, we have documented many of the elements of romance. Just go get it.

Built-in Romance: There are so many things that are inherently romantic, like hearts. The trick is to figure out what is romantic and what is not. There is a basic rule. If it's cool, it's not romantic. For example, guns and rifles are not romantic. Science fiction is not romantic. Flowers are romantic. Sun is not romantic. Sunny beach is romantic. Heavy lights are not romantic. Moon light and candle lights are romantic. There are tons of things are intrinsically romantic, and you should learn to use them to your advantage.

Cute Things: Taking advantage of the intrinsic romance in cute things obviously depends upon recognizing which things are cute. Teddy bears are romantic. Puppies are romantic. Cherubic baby archers are romantic.

Low Light: Candles are romantic. Sunrises and sunsets are romantic. Any kind of low light, you see, is romantic, hence why dinner dates after dark are more romantic than lunch dates at noon. Open the curtains on a sunset and light some candles and you might even be able to get away with watching a football game during dinner.

The color magic: Red is romantic. Consider roses. Red roses mean, "I love you." Get her red roses, red ribbons, red balloons. The color red has great impact on women.

Background Music: Not just any music is romantic. Background music is romantic. Keep in mind that if you want the music to be romantic, it must be too soft to hear. Also, it may not be lively or funny. The sound of river waters is the most romantic genre of music. The music generated from wooden musical instruments are more romantic than metallic instruments.

Chocolates: Chocolates are not only romantic, they're complimentary. It is the sweetest way to say how much you like her.

Fancy Curly Things: Flair and flourishes are romantic. When you write her letters, make the tails of the 'g's and 'y's really long and the letter 'R' is particularly romantic. Glorify your greeting card with some curly flair letters. It will carry her message better than what you wrote in it. Curly letters carry a bigger, better and brighter message to her as compared to plain text.

Impracticality: Practical things are not romantic. Don’t ever gift her toaster or mixer. Instead get her a small thing that can be used to keep her jewelry stuff.

Diamonds are signature stuff for romance: Don’t gift her gold stuff. Get her a piece of diamond. It speaks billion words for her and assures her how much you love her.

Time tactics: Spending time leisurely together is romantic. Giving preference time is romantic. Reaching her before time is romantic. Getting something earlier than she anticipated is romantic.

Therefore, romance is doing the same routine things – in a special way, exclusively, attractively, softly, lightly, smoothly, caringly.
