Introduction

Perhaps, you are wondering who I am and what it is about me that I should think I have something to say to you about being romantic. Well, I do not have a title such as Doctor next to my name, and I am not an expert on anything, much less on romance, nor do I portray myself to be one, but since I craved romance in abundance, I felt like I should share my experiences with you. I have spoken to so many extraordinary people about the subject of romance, both men and women (mostly women) throughout the years that I felt compelled to share what I know with you.

I am the mother of three beautiful children. I worked as a hairdressing assistant in a few beauty salons, but not for long periods of time, due to some physical health problems that I developed. While working part-time, I started writing a little at a time. I was not sure what exactly to write about, but I was certain it would have to be about romance. This pattern continued for several years. I worked on and off, writing aimlessly during my spare time, but after a long battle with my health (fibromyalgia) I found myself confined to the house. With more free time available, I wandered around the house until one day it came to me that I should write a book about my own experiences. Once I had made the decision, I pursued numerous subjects. Not knowing where to focus, I jumped from one subject matter to another. But then, over time, I had accumulated a few worthy ideas which seemed to be of the kind that could provide a window into my life experiences. When the moment came, something flashed in my mind and I knew what I wanted to write about. It was clear to me that I wanted to share what I knew with people. So I decided to write about different ways to romance your partner.

I must confess I am a very romantic person, and I am always expressing romantic feelings to the ones I love, even if they do not reciprocate. I always share what was, and is still nestled in my heart. Romance flows in my blood like fresh water rippling over rocks. I thought that even if I could not hold your hand and guide you over the romantic terrain, I could at least suggest to you different ways to apply basic knowledge and strategies to your romantic encounters so that you could be well prepared when it comes to romancing your significant other.

Without jumping to conclusions, I am not a difficult person to deal with, especially when it comes to romance. It is just that most of the men I have dealt with in my past have been very sarcastic and conceited when it came to romance. They misunderstood me and misjudged me. No one could be more understanding and easy to please than I am. My intention is not to brag, but rather to explain to those who misunderstand me and others like me that we (women) are very easily pleased. I am quite sure that there are numerous women out there who can honestly say they can identify with me.

I have always been fascinated with romance, whether it was through books or with people. I am happy to say that since I started writing this book I have spent the past few years learning and observing how to help myself and others to make better romantic choices. I interviewed numerous women on the subject to obtain some feedback from a woman’s perspective. Although most of the people I interviewed were surprised by my initial question — What has your partner done for you that was romantic lately? — they seemed rather relieved to let out their feelings about the subject. The expressions on their faces alone told their stories. Some of the women had sweet smiles, some wore a smirk, some became sad, and for others, you could tell from their faces that all they ever got was a dose of romance or that no one had ever done anything romantic with them, or for them, in a very long time.

The women I interviewed were all from different backgrounds and cultures, which made the whole experience with writing this book unique and exciting. As we swapped stories I realized that these stories had to be told to the world. It is pertinent to share the testimonials (accurate insights of what a woman endures) of real women to benefit others out there.

As I interviewed these extraordinary women with so many different stories on the same subject of romance, it was so rewarding to see women, both young and old, reminisce about their most memorable romantic experiences. None seemed to have given up hope. All is not lost yet, was a common refrain. You can use your experience to help others. Each one had a different approach to the subject, and the more women I interviewed, the more I felt an urgency to tell their stories. Indeed, I must add that the stories spurred me on to keep writing and looking for other stories to spread the knowledge of romancing to the world.

Reading this book does not mean that you will not have disagreements or experience heartaches. My main purpose is to support you in becoming a better romantic person to your partner. It takes courage and lots of love and willingness to become a better romantic person for you and your partner. If you are a shy person when it comes to romancing, you should be determined to overcome your shyness, because you could be missing out on love’s most memorable happiness.

This book is designed to help everyone in every walk of life: the old, the young, the ugly, the nice, the rich and the poor. Romance has no boundaries. Whether planned or spontaneous, there is no rule about the right time for romancing. There is nothing that says that it is too early in the relationship for romance.

Romance should be for everyone, but some people are just not into it. Some men, especially, pretend not to care about being romantic, but deep down inside I know they are. Some men display ignorance just to convince themselves that there is no reason to care, or no reason to be romantic, but I know that they care, and that they should care. I have discovered massive breakups and a growing number of fractured relationships due to the lack of romancing.

What do I know about romance? Not enough, but enough to tantalize you. Ever since I could remember, I have been a romantic person. I have a flair for romance. I like romancing my partner whether it is his birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or any ordinary day. I love to show love to my people. I always give something or do something to bring smiles to their faces, and I found that the little things you do or give to someone, especially the person you truly love, can make a huge difference in your relationship. I personally like the little things in life, which is what this book is all about. The little inexpensive things that create happiness will surely do the trick. You should acknowledge the fact that romancing your significant other is not only for the privileged few, but for everyone to experience. Even a person with little or no finances can afford to romance his/her partner with the help of this book.

Please, utilize these romantic tips and you will find that these love gems will create remarkable results, and while you progress, if you are passionate about life, you will find an abundance of happiness in whatever you do, especially with someone you truly love. You may be constantly bombarded by the negative thoughts of friends that surround you, who do not support your romanticisms, but do not be discouraged because your life may be more prosperous then theirs. It may have such an effect on both you and your significant other that you may want to romance him\her more and more. Take a step in the right direction. Let your passion be your guide. It cannot happen without you.

The purpose of this book is to encourage you to begin a new process of change in the relationship between you and your significant other. The stories, especially, will encourage you to care about being romantic, and, if you are willing to make changes as well as sacrifices and take action, then I can assure you that there will be no regrets because you are investing in your future. This does not mean that I will know exactly how it will all turn out, but what I do know is that if you do not challenge yourself and keep an open mind, you will never experience what romancing someone is all about. There is an immense amount of enjoyment that you can gather from this book to change your approach to romance. You have to understand that romance plays an important role in a relationship, and it should be shared. Romance is not a seasonal thing. Romance is an everyday thing.

This book is designed to expand your horizon. It is meant to bring you closer to the truth about how to romance your significant other. In this book the focus is more on men. It will provide a more accurate understanding of women and their needs in a moderate way. There are quite a few men who lack the simplest knowledge about the needs of a woman, or I should say, They do not know how to treat a woman. This book is not only a guide on how to romance women, but also to give men some direction on how to romance their partners. Being romantic involves an unending flow of love, and shared qualities of togetherness, unselfishness and generosity. Once these romantic pillars are in place, you will have nothing less than an abundance of happiness to sustain the relationship.

Some men believe they are tough and close their minds to romance because they told themselves that romance does not matter. Let me explain something to you. Romance matters. You need to stop being so pompous and banish the negative self-talk that clogs your judgment. At the same time I advise you to rid yourself of the self-defeating images that boosts up your mental toughness, and get on board the romantic train before you miss out on life’s array of sunshine.
