For me, romance is making my woman feel special every day that I can, by picking wild flowers and arranging them nice, making us yummy food, buying her stuff that she really enjoys and may even surprise her that will help her with her hobbies/business, playing with her kid so she can focus on herself sometimes, doing whatever she wants (within REASON of course, but also saying no to certain things so she knows I ain't a doormat) - surprising her with things, I give her a massage a few times a week.
I just need to keep on being my sweet self and always thinking of things that she'd love, things that strike her in the heart, make her grin like she got a melon rind in her mouf, keep her laughing, make her gush, make her feel wet - something that keeps this sweet sensation of feeling loved and supported going on, so she can stay an independent woman.
Now after getting into a routine of doing so much sweet stuff for her it seems like it's not romance, because it's an almost constant stream - well flowers, whilst being a habit now, the picking is always spontaneous, never planned...seeing her right now is never planned it just happens. So there's always excitement...we're just getting started though - BIT BY BIT. I need to be more surprising though - that's what I need to do - work out how to be unpredictable.
Right now I am working on a Mix CD which is 3 CDs - one for me, one for us, one for me - contained in a handmade book with drawings, the cover is a geometric quasi-psychedelic painting folds out like 2 doors - on one side is a tiger and the other side is a dragon - our chinese zodiac signs. It will be wrapped in a tapestry, with symbols and pictures like a comic of how our love grew.
THink that's going to surprise her a fair bit.
