Month of Love Day 10 (a day late)

(Sorry day 10 is really being posted on day 11.  Life got in the way again. . . )

"Being deeply loved by someone
gives you strength, while loving someone
deeply gives you courage."

~ Lao Tzu, philosopher

Out of the book "1001 Ways To Be Romantic" by Gregory J.P. Godek. . .

#671 - Romantics do not put their partners first by ignoring their own needs and wants.  Rather, they put their relationship first, and they do things that enhance the couple as a whole. You see, self- sacrifice always backfires because it builds resentment in the giver and creates guilt in the receiver.  Romantic gestures performed out of love provide benefits to both the giver and receiver.

#698 - Do something totally out of character.

• Always late? - Be on time.
• Not creative? - Think up something original and unexpected!
• Forgetful? - Remember her birthday every day for a month!
• Watch TV every night? - Go out to dinner instead.
• Two left feet? - Take dance lessons together!
  

*Other suggestions. . .
Many times when we plan a date night we are planning what we ourselves would like to do.  Some of my most special dates have been when I have been surprised by something she knows I like to do.  We don't always enjoy the same things.  It doesn't mean she is miserable on the date, it just means that she was doing something a little out of character.
