Webster's defines romance as trying to influence someone with personal attention, gifts or flattery, but any guy I know would simply explain it as "doing stuff that feels good but isn't sex." Surprisingly, it's not the huge gesture but the one that's tailor-made for your man that will leave him swooning.

Surprisingly, it's not the huge gesture but the one that's tailor-made for your man that will leave him swooning. For example, there was the ex who noticed that I was always reading copies of Sports Illustrated at newsstands, so she surprised me with a subscription. Another old girlfriend, in one of my favorite romantic moves ever, organized a game of Wiffle Ball on my birthday and got a Carvel ice-cream cake (Fudgie the Whale!); she knew I'd had one like it at every party growing up. What else might turn your guy into man mush? I've got a few suggestions.

"Love" that comes from fear isn't love—it's neediness. Emotional dependency comes from the inner emptiness that is created when you abandon yourself—and you then expect your partner to fill your emptiness and make you feel loved and safe. Once you make your partner responsible for your happiness, safety, and worth, then you need to try to have control over getting him or her to love you the way you want to be loved. Love is about giving and sharing—not about getting. Love is not needy. There is nothing controlling about real love. Love is that which supports your own and your partner's highest good, which means that you would never try to control or possess the other person. When you love someone, you deeply value their essential qualities—the qualities that don't go away with time. The challenge of real love is that you cannot desire to get love and to be loving at the same time. Your focus on getting love will always lead to a closed heart and controlling behavior, which shuts out love. Your focus on being loving, and on learning what is loving to yourself and your partner in any given moment, is what opens the heart. When you consistently choose to be loving with yourself and others, you will experience real love.
