I have shared many conversations with men about what women enjoy when it comes to being romantic. Does this always mean expensive dinners at a local hotspot or a weekend getaway to a fancy hotel? The answer is no. If you set a precedent of overspending on first dates, you’re setting the situation up to continue that way. You need to see if there is some kind of romantic relationship between the two of you before planning too many dates.
Some men say that many women are high maintenance and expect to be spoiled on a date.
It’s up to you who you choose to spend time with, and if you’re constantly attracted to entitled women, then you need to understand why you keep going back to dating a similar type. I can honestly tell you, from a female client’s perspective and my personal friendships, that there are many wonderful women out there who are happy to go for a coffee or a walk while getting to know someone. They prefer to have an atmosphere that is comfortable and less intimidating than a fancy restaurant.
If you find yourself in a recurring negative scenario, change who you usually gravitate to and start looking outside of the box you may have created for yourself. You can also change your social settings/environments that attract a more down-to-earth clientele. It’s important to note that if you choose women based solely on their looks and jump into bed quickly, you’re missing out on getting to know anything specific about who they are. Romance isn’t always sex with a woman.
Let’s talk about what kind of romance do women like Here are 10 ideas:
- Women enjoy it when a man makes them a home cooked meal. The fact that you planned the dinner date and put thought into the preparation makes her feel special.
- Send them a sweet text during the day or before a date to let them know you’re thinking of them and looking forward to seeing them. The little things go a long way with most women.
- Compliment them on certain personality traits that you like. This shows a woman that you see her beyond her physical appearance.
- Many women love to hold hands when they go for a walk with their man, but also across the table on a date. This shows that you’re not only interested in being with her, but you’re proud to be as well. (Don’t be afraid to share a little PDA.)
- It’s always a good idea to ask a woman what romance means to her. Everyone is unique and understanding what makes her feel special is always appreciated and helpful at the same time.
- Take her on a romantic mystery date. Plan everything, be secretive and just ask her to be ready sometime. Making such an effort shows her that you’re thinking about her even when you’re not together and that you’re making her a priority. (Give her a little hint about what to wear, though, so she doesn’t end up wearing a dress and heels if you’re planning a scenic hike on a hiking trail.)
- Women love openly romantic conversations where a man shows interest in a mutual conversation. Women don’t always feel like men are listening, which doesn’t make them feel heard or valued.
- Do little things for a woman without having to be asked. If she expresses her love for Thai food, surprise her with takeout and a bottle of wine for an afternoon picnic.
- Light some candles and put on some romantic music when you have a date night at home. This may sound cliche or a little generic, but most women enjoy having a man’s undivided attention in this kind of gentle setting. (I love that my husband lights candles when we have breakfast together! ❤️)
- Buy her a small gift for no reason. She may have told you she loves strawberry ice cream during a conversation, and it would be a lovely gesture if you showed up at her front door with a carton before a date.
Hey guys, I understand that a lot of men don’t know what to do anymore because some women are very vocal about what they want and don’t want when it comes to dating today. The answer here is to look at the person you are interested in and pay close attention to their actions. If she doesn’t value you and has excessive expectations, you’ll know pretty quickly that she’s not the woman you want to spend time with.
You want to meet a woman who is an extension of who you are and has similar morals and values. Of course, you want to be attracted to someone and have strong sexual chemistry, but don’t make that your top priority every time you meet someone. Find out what it is and what other features it has. Is she funny, confident, interesting and fun? Once a woman trusts you, she will be able to open up and be more comfortable in your presence. Adding honesty and romance to the equation helps her build on that trust with you.

Women like to connect emotionally with their partners. Romance is very important to feel that connection.
Being thoughtful and loving are two big gestures that women love. Giving her sweet compliments that you find her attractive is always welcome. Intimacy is important, but romantic foreplay outside of the bedroom is the way to a woman’s heart. She wants to feel valued and appreciated before anything else. The little things a man does become big things for a woman. It will embrace your thoughtfulness and always hold those romantic memories you create.
It’s not that difficult to maintain a romantic relationship with your partner. In fact, it’s all about being aware of what makes your lady comfortable, what makes her smile, and what makes her truly happy. When a woman feels satisfied with her man, it becomes a mutual connection that continues to evolve. She wants to repay you too!
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together as a couple, if you always maintain a romantic relationship with your partner. This is the simple key to keeping love blooming for many years to come. Some couples become complacent and this is what causes the relationship to change. If you are always in love and romantic with each other, you will not have to face this scenario because you understand the importance of cultivating love with each other.
Closing
Romance must be reciprocated for a relationship to thrive. It’s not just one person’s job to keep it a focal point. Both people need to be on board and make their partner feel special regularly. If you do one small romantic thing every day for each other, you will always remain close. Respect and appreciate the effort you both make to prioritize your love and always be grateful one for the other.
