Romance adds zest to a relationship, and makes a couple grow closer to each other. Traditionally, the entire burden of romantic things, including buying little gifts, falls on the man. However, there is no hard and fast rule regarding this, and moreover, it is completely unfair for the guys too. The act of romance need not be one-sided, and women too can take the initiative to make their guy feel special. Now, doing romantic things does not mean that you have to spend a whole lot of money, as the true essence of romance actually lies in the little things that you do for each other. It may simply be a kiss when he is least expecting it, or maybe singing a song for him in front of his friends. In following lines, we present to you a few creative and romantic ideas that your boyfriend will definitely love. A Romantic Poem Writing a poem is one of the most romantic things you can do for your boyfriend. Now, not everyone is gifted with the skill of poetry. However, you do not have to be Shakespeare to write a few lines expressing your love for your him. Unlike popular belief, a poem doesn't even have to rhyme from line to line. You can simply write your poem for him in a prose form, just as you would write a story or a letter. Once you are done, copy the poem on a good quality (preferably colored) paper, roll it up, and tie it with a ribbon. Send it to your boyfriend with a bunch of flowers at his home or office, and watch how the magic works! Memorable Surprise Everyone loves surprises, and there are various ideas that you can use to pleasantly surprise your boyfriend. If it is his birthday and you are holding a party for him, invite a special person who lives far away and whom your boyfriend has not met for a long time. For instance, you can invite his best friend who has moved to another city or may be his parents. Call them up well in advance and make arrangements for their travel and stay. When your boyfriend is enjoying his birthday party, ask the surprise guest to ring the bell and make sure that your boyfriend opens the door. When he does, do not forget to capture the expression on his face on the camera! Cooking an Elaborate Dinner It is a known fact that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. So, if you are looking for a special thing to do for your boyfriend, an elaborate dinner would be a great idea. Start by making a list of the foods that he likes, and look for recipes in cookbooks or on the Internet. Once this is done, start preparing the food, and keep it ready by dinner time. Before he arrives, decorate the table with neat tablecloth, candles, cutlery, etc. To add a romantic touch, light some scented candles, and play soft music in the background, while you dine him. This is one of the most romantic activities you can do at your home, and is sure to make him fall head over heels for you. Memory Book A book that holds all the special moments and sweet memories of your relationship, would be just perfect for reigniting the romance in your guy's heart. Get hold of a colorful book, and begin by writing your love story i.e. how you met, your first date and other such special moments. You can also add pictures as well as other souvenirs like the tickets of the first movie you went together, the first greeting card that he gave you, etc. Decorate this book with love quotes, stickers and other decorative items, wrap it in decorative paper, and present it to your boyfriend. That evening, you both can snuggle together on the couch, and let your love-story unfold once more, through the pages of this book. Some other cute things that you can do for your boyfriend include holding hands and taking a walk on the beach, having a bubble-bath together, giving him a nice relaxing body massage, etc. These small but intimate gestures from you will definitely be cherished by your boyfriend for a long time, and help your love for each other flourish and grow.
