A Guy’s Guide to Romance: 10 Easy Ways to Be Romantic

Sometimes men make life difficult for themselves – like avoiding that fateful stop at the gas station for directions or faithfully earning the Mr. Fix-It title around the house.  But sometimes, a little help goes a long way.  Recognized romance expert Gregory Godek, author of 1001 Ways to Be Romantic, offers men advice for getting directly from point A to point B when it comes to romancing their women.

“Life is too short not to be romantic,” says Godek.  “And, being romantic doesn't have to be extravagant or complicated.  A little motivation and a little help are all you need to go from couch potato to Casanova.”

Godek shares his Top 10 List of Easy Ways to Be Romantic – for both single and married men – to act upon and share with generations of Y chromosomes to come:

1.      Send her flowers unexpectedly.  Choose a bunch of her favorite flowers of her favorite colors – or ask your florist (man’s next best friend) for suggestions.

2.      Write her a check for a million kisses, and let her take it to the bank.

3.      Have “your song” playing on the stereo when she returns home from work or errands, and whisk her into a spontaneous dance.

4.      For a change of pace – eat breakfast by candlelight or have dinner in bed.

5.      Fill her car with red balloons.

6.      Write her a love letter – it doesn’t have to be perfect, poetic or long – just from you.

7.      Have a “play date” once a month, where you get away together for a day of fun.

8.      Fill her answering machine or voicemail with romantic messages.

9.      Kidnap her – blindfold her and take her to a favorite restaurant, the theatre, the racetrack or another place you both enjoy.

10.  Draw her a bath sprinkled with rose petals, and light some candles.

Finally, remember that real men aren’t afraid to be romantic!
