ROMANCE FUNDAMENTALS -- PRIMARY FLIRTING

It is rather difficult to be romantic without first flirting.
What exactly is flirting and how can you adapt some flirting into your
own romantic moods and play? To begin, you don’t want to be too
aggressive. Start with very friendly gestures and once you have
gotten those moves down, and then go for the romantic flirting!

Flirting is a frame of mind:
Be self-confident and do not be afraid to take risks.
Be enthusiastic about romance and be positive!

Start a sexy conversation:
Start with a simple, opening line by saying hello.
Talk about anything at all, whatever will get the romance going.

Enjoy yourself and have fun:
Be playful, light-hearted and above all, be spontaneous.
Show that you can be vulnerable.

Make good use of all props:
Always use a prop.
Props will get the conversation started naturally. They encourage
conversation and others will want to start talking to you.
Great props are: pets, children, great jewelry, a wonderful
scent, a sweatshirt with your favorite sports team’s emblem, an
interesting book or magazine.

Play host:
Take the lead by taking on the role of host.
Do not be the passive person in waiting, but rather the lead.

Introduce yourself first:
Move closer to the person you want to meet and introduce yourself
confidently!

Listen-up:
Everyone loves to be heard and when you are a good listener your
partner will be drawn to you.

Make bold eye contact:
Look your partner in the eye gently (no more than 2-
4 seconds) and then look away. You don’t want to stare!

Pay a genuine compliment:
Your partner will be pleased and will warm up to you more.

Show a beautiful smile:
You will look so much more approachable. Everyone is attracted to
a genuine and heartfelt, smile.
So there you go! These are all ground-breakers when wanting to
approach someone with romance. We must always be mindful of the
fundamentals.
When we just dive right in, unexpected, we can turn our loved one
off. Go slow, a step at a time and feeling confident, approach with
your best romance moves.

THE ROMANCE AND SCIENCE OF KISSING

What is that feeling people get from a good kiss that's so hard
to explain? How does kissing come into play when being romantic?
Women often compare a good kiss to "melting butter" and like
being "hit by a wave," according to a recent survey. Men often
describe it as similar to "vibrations at a concert" or a "three
pointer at the buzzer to win the NCAA basketball tournament,"
according to the same survey.
Experts have proven there is a lot of physiology behind the warm
and fuzzy feelings that come from a good kiss.
Feelings of romantic love, and kissing, stimulate the same type
of brain activity as many sports, such as: parachuting, bungee jumping
and distance running, for example.
These same types of activities cause the brain to experience a
surge in norepinephrine, dopamine and phenylethylamine (or just PEA to
some.) These neurotransmitters attach to pleasure receptors in the
brain and create feelings of euphoria, giddiness, elation and such.
So, next time you feel romantic and want to show your love to
someone special, go for that wonderful kiss -- it will definitely
leave a lasting impression!
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when
words become superfluous. ~ Ingrid Bergman

PRIMARY COLORS OF ROMANCE

What is romance without a kiss?
When wishing for romance, your kisses had better be good to make
a favorable impression. It may not be fair, but some will judge you on
your first kiss as to whether or not they will want to see you again.
In other words, there needs to be good chemistry when kissing.
A good kiss delivers a powerful impact! If you're a great kisser,
you're going to turn your date on and you will have a definite edge.
What distinguishes a good kisser from the kisser we
all want to forget? The key is to be soft and gentle
and follow their lead. Here are some good romantic
kissing tips to enhance your love life:

**Be careful not to startle - watch and wait for the signal to
proceed
**Avoid the ‘ambush’ kiss (although these can be exciting as your
relationship progresses.)
**Look deeply into your partner’s eyes. This will send the
message that you like them and want to be closer to them. Look for
their signals as well.
**Look for a warm, kind smile (even a slight smile is good; it
doesn’t have to be BIG.)
**Pay attention to the look on your loved one’s face. This will
indicate where they want to go with this kiss.

STEP TWO

**Look for good balance. As you move closer to that magical
kiss, you don’t want to be leaning too forward awkwardly to get there.
**As you move closer you are sending signals. You want your body
to be in a comfortable position during the kiss, so you can enjoy
every moment of it.
**Go for a light touch just before the kiss. While a hand lightly
on the face is a definite signal of intimacy, holding hands combined
with eye contact and a warm look can indicate the beginning of a great
kiss to come.
**Make sure you are aligned correctly at this point. This means
not only getting your lips on track with theirs, but getting the head
tilted correctly as well.
**Tilt your head slightly to one side first. Your
partner will likely react and tilt the other way. This is
a mutual sign that the kiss will be very welcomed.

STEP THREE

**Relax your lips, close your eyes.
**Move in slowly. During step number two you made sure the two of
you were aligned correctly, now you can close your eyes as you’re just
about to make contact.
**Relax your lips, not tightly pressed together. Give your
partner the pleasant experience of feeling your lips softly against
theirs.
**Your lips should be recently moistened, but not wet.

STEP FOUR

**Relax your lips, tilt your head and breathe evenly.
**Moving in, you can part your lips slightly just before contact.
Keep your lips relaxed, your tongue in your mouth.
**Keep your head tilted so both of you can still breathe
comfortably on contact and as the perfect kiss is held...
S A V O R every moment ... be slow, gentle, easy.

STEP FIVE

**Keep it sweet, not too long and not too wet.
**Don’t pull away too quickly or make any quick movements. Savor.
Savor. Savor. Feel the power and romance of the kiss.
Enjoy the moment!

STEP SIX

**Take your time and don’t rush. Make eye contact, nonverbal and
verbal messages.
**To end, pull away slowly and make eye contact again. Show a
satisfied, warm smile to reinforce how you feel.
**Enjoy the closeness, relax, and finish the kiss with a warm
embrace.
A few, thoughtful words, such as, “That was nice,” can be
whispered. Try to reinforce how you felt about your kiss with

Just for today

* Pay your loved one a compliment, such as how awesome they look.
* Give your loved one a strong hug just because.
* Pick a bouquet of wild flowers and present them with a kiss.
* Massage their back and/or feet at the end of a work week.
* Leave an "I love you" note on their pillow.
* Call spontaneously at their work to say “I am thinking about
you.”
* Place your arm around your loved one in public.
Remember, when you take the time to be thoughtful and attentive
today, this can usher in more intense romance later on.

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT

"Should the sun refuse to shine, should romance run out of rhyme; you
alone will hold my heart -- now until the very end of time.”
- Verses of Love
The biggest myth in romance is that you must pull
off something big and extravagant so that your
efforts will matter. The truth is that what will
impress your loved one the most will often be the
little things.
Little things are rather simple things that you do for your loved
one. Despite the fact that they are "little" they can mean so much.
Your loved one will be touched that you took the time to show him or
her that you care so much. You will be considered thoughtful. All of
this plays very well when wishing to be romantic.
Consider your loved one’s heart to be a basket. The basket wants
to be filled. When you shower your loved one’s basket with many,
little gifts, the basket will be filled and your loved one will be
content and feel loved. It is as simple as that!
Considering the importance of every day little things, think
about some new romantic ideas.

A Week in the Life of a True Romantic

Day 6:
~When the weather is best, take a brisk walk through a nature
trail with your love and talk about all the reasons why he or she is
so special to you.
~ If the weather is dreary, have an indoor picnic. Spend the time
together, inside enjoying your favorite board games and just relaxing
and talking.
~ Cuddle up in your pj’s and relish a romantic movie together.

Day 7:
~ Just sleep in and cuddle together. Call into work and explain
you are “under the weather” and need to rest a bit more before coming
in.
~ Make a long list of the many reasons why you love your partner
as you do and then have them framed and present it to him or her.
~ If you don’t live together, call your loved one just to say
goodnight. Recite a favorite love poem over the phone and end with,
“Sweet dreams, until we meet again!”
