The reason why we want romance and 15 ways on how to give it to us.

Women are mysterious, to say the least. So what is it that we really want in a man? What are we looking for?

What women want may seem like the secret of the universe but in reality, it is probably right in front of your eyes. In most cases men and women really want the same things. It just appears way more complicated coming from a woman. Mainly because women have a way of not asking you what they need from you. We tend to expect you to have already figured it out.

Women want you to be confident. Women want their men to be confident, someone who can hold a conversation and keep them interested. But, keep in mind there is a difference between being confident and being an egotistical asshole.

Most importantly. Women want chemistry. If I woman truly likes you, it is because of attraction. Not finances, or looks. And I think people tend to confuse attraction just with looks. Chemistry is simply just there or it isn’t.

Women want a man who is upbeat and positive. We like someone who always keeps us smiling and feeling good about ourselves.

Charming, we want charming. Be yourself, and talk about your dreams and passions. Talk about what you care about.

We want romance. And how do you do that? Here are 15 ways.

1. Go old fashioned, Wear a suit, open doors for her, buy her flowers and chocolates, serenade her, pull the chair out for her, wine and dine her.

2. Write her a cute note, and stick it somewhere. Sneak a cute note into her bag telling her she looks pretty or you miss her. She’ll get a lovely surprise when she finds it – and women always love romantic surprises!

3. Send a cute text. Tell her you’re thinking of her, or you miss her. Send her a caring text about her day.

4. Compliment her. If you want to know how to romance a woman, start by telling her how truly beautiful you think she is—especially when it is clear she made an effort to look great.

5. Give her a massage. There is literally no need for explanation. Women love massages.

6. Cook for her. Even if you aren’t the best cook. Doing this every now and then is such a sweet gesture. And goes a long way. Brownie points for sure.

7. Make time for her. This is such a huge one. Even if you are doing nothing. Just hanging out at home. It’s easy, particularly in a long-term relationship, to become like ships passing in the night. Remember making time for one another is so important in a healthy relationship. So, if you know you are guilty of neglecting her, then make time for her. She’ll appreciate the effort.

8. Be spontaneous. Often the most romantic gestures are because they are totally unexpected. Being spontaneous injects adventure, excitement, and romance into your relationship.

9. Send flowers to her workplace or home.

10. Go for a moonlit walk. Taking a stroll together under the stars costs you nothing. It is a romantic start or end to a great evening. You can talk, and bond.

11. Whisk her away. Be her knight in shining armor and whisk her away on the trip of a lifetime *or just a romantic weekend at your local B&B will do!

12. Respect her. Every woman wants to feel respected, so one of the most important and romantic things you do is always make her feel that way!

13. But her gifts. And I say this very lightly. I don’t think this is the only way you should show romance. As that can create a whole problem in itself. But this can be nice to do every now and then. So, make a mental note of what she likes and what she needs. Then, go buy it for her. You don’t need a special occasion, just do it for no reason at all!

14. Tell her how you feel. I am a huge person of words. So I know personally this makes a difference. Express what’s going on, how you love her.

15. Remember the little things. Remember, love and affection is really all in the details, especially when it comes to understanding how to romance a woman. Paying attention to the things she likes and remembering the things she tells you helps you create romantic surprises she is sure to love.
