Why is it that so many people believe that they dont have
time or take the initiative to be romantic? Maybe most people dont believe that
they are creative enough to be romantic. Everyone is creative! The definition
of being creative is having the ability or power to create. The word create
offers a much broader definition than most people accept when it comes to the process
of being able to come up with something original or simply well thought out.
Gifts that are considered to be traditionally romantic like
candy and flowers are wonderful, but sometimes you need something that goes one
step further. If your spouse enjoys flowers, you dont have to settle for roses
because they can sometimes become unexciting after a while! Present him or her
with something completely original such as a daisy or another flower where
petals can be counted. Ask him or her to play the childhood game of they love
me, they love me not and watch them pluck the petals as they go. However, dont
allow for the possibility of him or her arriving at the they love me not. Count
the petals before you present the flower to your spouse and trim it so that
there is an odd number of petals for the right outcome!
Arts and crafts used to be a fun break from the monotony of
the school day, but believe it or not, it will come in handy when it comes to
creative romantic gestures. Instead of promising that you will love him or her
forever, show them. Take a piece of paper, ribbon or other material you choose
and write I love you on both sides from end to end. Twist the paper 180 degrees
and connect both ends of the paper until you have mad what looks like the figure
eight. Tape or glue to ends together. You can present your love with a symbol
that shows them your love for them is an endless love.
Creativity comes in many different forms! Being creative can
mean creating an atmosphere. If you want to plan the ultimate romantic evening
but funds are low or you simply dont want to have to leave the house, shut down
the electricity and imitate a power outage (its up to you whether or not you
tell him or her!). You wont have any distractions or heat, so it is up to both
of you to keep the other warm and entertain each other.
Maybe romance is on your mind, but he or she is going out of
town. Did you know that people on airplanes are typically hopeless romantics?
Any flight attendant would be more than happy to make sure that your spouse
receives a special present after the flight has left the ground. Simply
approach a crewmember after he or she boards the plane and they are usually
more than happy to oblige a hopeless romantic like you! (You might want to make
sure that the gift is unwrapped or keep it to a single rose due to heightened
security.)
Creativity doesnt have to come in the form of gifts every
single time. Gestures like getting up and dancing with your spouse when a
special song comes on the radio is quite creative and incredibly romantic!
Whenever the mood strikes you, allow your creative juices to flow!
