Be Spontaneous, Be PassionateWe all seem to want more romance in our lives. We want long romantic vacations, candlelit dinners, rose petals, and wine. These are the ultimate romantic fantasies, and we know they are rare, because, face it, they take a lot of planning.

But when we make big plans, we usually build up our expectations right along with them. And when we have high expectations, we are easily disappointed.

Fortunately, romance doesn’t need an event planner. Some of the most romantic memories I have are moments that just happened, were spur of the moment, spontaneous.

For instance, my husband frequently stops to pick up flowers for me on his way home from work. No special occasion, he just does it when he gets the urge, and because he loves me. It never ceases to surprise me and make me melt.

Once while we were dating, I was dropping him at his place after dinner. He had just given me a kiss and hug goodnight when a favorite song of his came on the radio. He continued to hold me and softly sing the song in my ear. Who knew Stone Temple Pilots could be so romantic?

We have also danced in a parking lot to a sexy song on the radio, taken late-night walks around our neighborhood hand-in-hand, played a few risque board games just for fun.

These times are never planned. We know that romance comes from within us, not from a contrived setting. When we feel romantic, we act on it. We don’t plan something for days or weeks away.

So the next time you’re with your special someone, don’t try to light the fires of romance. Just let the sparks fly.
