Letting Her Know You Love Her

“It’s the thought that counts.� Oh boy, how many times have I heard that expression? And it’s not like I don’t agree with it; as a matter of fact, you could say that it has been my guiding force when buying and giving presents. More than any other single occasion, Valentine’s Day is an occasion for love and romance. Unlike Christmas, for example, where you celebrate a variety of thoughts and feelings like love, friendship, peace, sharing, and family ties, to name a few. And on this special day, the things you say and do to show your love and affection will go further and have a longer-lasting influence on your love life than any other day of the year.

So how do you show your love? Well, you can go small or you can go big; it’s all up to you, your creativity, and your budget. Sometimes the old-fashioned methods work the best; but sometimes new and unusual tricks can do magic. What is important is the emotion, the true passion behind each word you say or each gift you give. Once you get an idea of how it works and you’ve mastered it, you’re set for life.

Try writing a love letter. Yes, I realize that it may sound a little bit cheesy, but remember: it’s Valentine’s Day, right? Perhaps you will find that it’s easier to put down your thoughts of love and romance on paper than it is to speak them out loud. A personal, heartfelt love letter that expresses your feelings of romance and affection for the other person will go a long, long way in fanning the flames of passion. A love letter can do wonders.

Of course, you can say it with roses. But before you pick up a single stem, make sure that the colour of the roses you choose will give out the correct message of romance you want. For example, everyone knows that red roses proclaim “I love you�, but do you know that coral roses express desire? You can also give other flowers for Valentine’s Day. So you also need to know what kind of messages other flowers stand for. A red carnation means “My heart aches for you…�, while a pink one means “I’ll never forget you�. You want to learn more?

A trip would be good. A romantic getaway will give you and your loved one some precious time and privacy to relive cherished memories and create new ones. Sometimes, simply planning and anticipating the trip will already heighten the feelings of romance. Set aside time in your busy schedules and determine what type of setting you would consider romantic. You can also treat yourselves to a relaxing getaway at a world-class spa. This could be the best gift of all, especially if you’re always stressed out and tired. After this getaway, you’ll both be relaxed, pampered, cleansed, and reinvigorated!

Small gifts give big rewards. If you really can afford it, then by all means go ahead and buy her a diamond ring or bracelet. A scented candle, a small bottle of perfume, or even massage oils will also do the trick. Romance is all about pleasing your partner, ladies and gentlemen. And while you’re at it, why not turn up the heat even more? Assemble a basket of romance with a variety of sensual gifts inside. For the ladies, pick out some sexy lingerie. Something scant and filmy will definitely take the romance to a whole new level.

Once you dedicate yourself to enhancing romance, you're likely to experience greater intimacy and an improved love life. And always remember, even if you can afford to spend a good deal of money to make her feel loved, now you know that you don’t have to.
