When you've been with someone for a good amount of time, it can be difficult to keep that romance alive. Especially considering this hot summer weather and our economy. So what can we do to keep the romance alive this summer? Well, here's some of my quick tips on how to keep the
summer romance up!
1) Consider purchasing some
lingerie. Maybe a
sexy babydoll? I don't think you necessarily need to do a sexy dance in it, but instead of your typical t-shirt and shorts for bed time, slip into your lingerie. This may help initiate both you and your partner into some more intimacy.
2) Go out on a date! Maybe have a picnic under a tree or in a well shaded area at your local park. This is simple and inexpensive. Bringing up old memories can help trigger those old "new" feelings you had in the beginning when the sparks were flying! If you can afford it, you can go to a nice restaurant that neither of you have eaten at and would like to try.
3) Make yourself attractive again! Now I'm not saying that you look bad, but let's face it, after being together a while, we stop taking that extra time to "beautify" ourselves. So instead of trying to look our best like we did in the beginning of our relationship, we let ourselves go into what's just comfortable, which is ok, but not all the time. When you're making yourself more attractive, many times your partner will do his/her best to try and be more attractive again. Which of course, when y'all both fall back into the "hot" category, y'all will both be all over each other... all over again!
4) Talk about your desires/fantasies together. In the beginning this can be tough topic to get on, but being together a while you should be able to bring it up. If you're too shy to talk in person, consider writing a list to your partner (both of y'all should do this) then exchange your list. Each partner can write under the others list whether they are interested in the activity/fantasy or what part of it they may be uncomfortable with. This may help open up the communication. You may find some new things neither of you tried which can be obviously very beneficial to y'all in the bedroom!
5) Compliment your partner at least once a day. I know it sounds cheesy, but we all like to hear nice things about ourselves. Whether it's a simple compliment about your partners looks or just taking extra notice in chores or work your partner is doing. Just hearing a compliment will always put a smile on their face and smiles can be a good thing!
