Ramance is keeping yourself within reality, knowing who you are, what you can do, what you can afford, and not forgetting those things, taking the one you love to something like a dream for a while, once, or many times.
For instance, if your money is unlimited, you can have messages of love written in the sky, pay a restaurant to close for a couple of hours so you and your beloved could have it all to yourselves. If money is tight, you can still use your imagination as a resource. You could take your loved one on a canoe,ride. Tell her that if she were a princess, you would take a land to be your own, so you could be her king.
Romance is not what you do or say, it’s that special place you take her/him which feels like a dream. I once decorated my apartment with drapes, and candles. I bought special music, and made a costume. When my man came home from work, I sat him on cushions on the floor, called him sheik, turned on the music and did a belly dance for him.
Stay within reality, take the loved one to some place like a dream, and that is romance.
