Have you ever created a Romantic Moment thought was “perfect”. You’d painstakingly planned it. Maybe spent beyond your budget. Waited for their face to light up.
But it fell flat. If failed. Your partner barely reacted with only a polite, “thank you”.
I understand because I’ve made that mistake.
In this new series of Romantic Memos, we’ll explore common mistakes people make when romancing their partner. Then reveal Secrets For Improving Romantic Moments.
Let me share this story.
Years ago, I decided to get my partner Leslie, name changed to protect my embarrassment, the perfect Christmas gift. A beautiful necklace with an opal pendant that would look wonderful on her neck.
It was beyond my budget, but I “knew” she’d be smitten.
She thanked me, but I don’t remember her ever wearing it. Ouch!
Maybe you’ve experienced something similar. A Romantic Moment created with maybe some red roses, an exclusive restaurant, or the perfect gift. And somehow it went thud.
See, I’d fallen into the trap that torpedoes many Romantic Moments.
Years later I realized why she didn’t find the gift romantic. I hadn’t learned the Platinum Rule of Romance: “Romance your partner how your partner prefers to be romanced”.
Don’t follow romantic movies’ portrayal, your friends’ suggestions or what you think is romantic as the way to romance your partner. They can mislead you.
The Romantic Moment I created was based on what I thought was romantic. I hadn’t considered how she wanted to be romanced. And this gift didn’t romance her how she preferred to be romanced.
In this new Romantic Memo series, we’ll explore common mistakes people make in creating Romantic Moments for their partner. And you’ll discover Secrets For Improving Romantic Moments, using their Romantic Preference Grouping plus the Platinum Rule of Romance to plan Romantic Moments your partner will actually appreciate.
I’ve shared other Romantic Moment Failures on YouTube @RomanceALIVE. And there are many more I’ve yet to share. Now it’s your turn. What’s a Romantic Moment you created the didn’t work? I’d love to hear about it.
