All hearts were aflutter as Humphrey Bogart romanced Ingrid Bergman in arguably one of the most quoted movies of all time, Casablanca. Since then, romantic sayings, though widespread throughout history in books and songs, have been a major staple of popular culture thanks to the medium of film. Perhaps you’ve come across the following before, or perhaps you might even have blurted them out yourself on more than one occasion. If not, then maybe it’s time you got yourself acquainted with these romantic sayings and use them to your advantage.
• “I love you, not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you.”
- Roy Croft
Indeed, love makes us do strange things. Just what is it about love that drives men and women to throw caution to the wind and lose all reason and rationality? But then again, it is that same love that can save your life, and everything suddenly becomes clear to you as though you were looking at the world for the very first time. And it is that love which makes you wake up in the morning knowing you are a better person for having known it.
• “Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.”
- Sarah Bernhardt
These sincere words will absolutely melt your woman’s heart. Saying ‘You are everything to me’ just goes to show how important she is to your life and expresses how much you treasure her. It is quite difficult to express your feelings in just a few words, but using a romantic saying like this may just be exactly what you are looking for.
• “Love me without fear, trust me without questioning
Need me without demanding, want me without restrictions
Accept me without change, desire me without inhibitions...”
- Dick Sutphen
A poem about love and passion is probably one of the most romantic gifts that you can give to your loved one. Go through the pages of old books, look for verses from a collection of love poems, and present it as a gift to her, in your own handwriting. Men often forget that presents like this are even more precious than any material thing that you can think of.
There is a line in yet another famously romantic film, When Harry Met Sally, that goes, “You can’t express every feeling that you have every moment that you have them.” Good thing there are romantic sayings like these to help out then.by Michael Lee

Romantic Things to Say – Using Words to Spice Up the Romance
You don’t have to be a Shakespeare to come up with romantic things to say. Neither should you resort to ripping off Sleepless in Seattle or Notting Hill. You’d be surprised to know that the most romantic things to say are usually the most everyday expressions you will ever hear, but spoken in such a way that they get the job done.
So worry not, for it doesn’t take a genius to whip up lines like these. Besides, even geniuses can become fools in the face of love, which means there’s hope for the rest of us.
Although these lines are more applicable to men, women may find them useful too.
1. “You look amazing.”
The most profound kind of beauty is the one that is oblivious to its own stunning power. And the effect is just as stunning when you call attention to it quite unexpectedly. A sudden, admiring remark at the most incongruous of moments can be just as romantic as a rehearsed speech, perhaps even more so.
2. “Come here.”
If you are in the middle of a fight and you feel that there is still a long way to go before you kiss and make up, asking her to “Come here” and giving her a tight squeeze may just be the starting point of resolving your differences.
3. “I never knew what I did good to deserve you.”
There is no need to consult a dictionary or a big, fat self-help book if you are looking for romantic things to say. What you need to do is look into your heart instead. With this line, you are admitting that you do own up to your shortcomings but you appreciate having her in your life.
4. “Holding you just feels so right.”
Physical intimacy is a big factor in any relationship. By telling her how right you feel whenever you are together, your closeness as a couple will be enhanced.
5. “Meeting you is the best thing that ever happened to me.”
If you feel like you’re running out of romantic things to say, a random sampling of your feelings every now and then is definitely the way to go. This is a common romantic line that will not make her think you got it straight out of a movie – because it is so simple; but if you say it in a heartfelt way, it will definitely melt her heart.
6. “I miss you.”
Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder and if you have not seen each other for some time, saying “I miss you” in person or even over the phone is a must.
7. “Do you even realize how much I love you?”
This line, or a simple “I love you” is still the simplest romantic line that you can ever think of. Why do you think a lot of people make a big deal out of saying it?
Remember these romantic things to say, these sweet nothings whispered in your special someone’s ear, and, where romance is concerned, you’ll never go wrong.by Michael Lee

Romantic Gifts for Him
It is extremely difficult to purchase gifts for a man especially for a man you are in a romantic relationship with even though the lady in his life would like nothing more than to show him a
wonderful and passionate day. There are various ideas available to put the spice back into life with a romantic gift. Men are sometimes hard to understand when it comes to special and intimate presents. They can be tricky to shop for and even the gift may not seem very romantic to a female.
However, there are methods to accomplish the goal of giving an individual a romantic gift that he absolutely adores.
Just like the female species, men also love romantic moonlit walks on the beach. They also enjoy lying under the stars feeling the chill of the evening. An individual could give a gift of a vacation. A cabin in the woods filled with a snowy background, or a beach house with moonlit walks.
The two individual can take a fantastic camping trip and they could sleep under the stars for a wonderful night beside a fire. This is a romantic gift that both people will immensely enjoy and it is ageless.
Another method to show how much he is appreciated and loved is a gift certificate to a day spa for a massage. This is an excellent present, especially for a man that works with his hands and back all day long. However, the lady should be careful, an hour or two at a professional masseuse or masseur the gentlemen may end up wanting his lady to take over after the certificate expires. This is a wonderful way to give the man exactly what he needs and to help him relax extensively.
If the man in question enjoys different sporting games, two tickets to an event could be a wonderful idea. If the lady in his life does not take pleasure in this style of events, she should purchase a ticket so he could take a friend as well. However, if the gentleman is more of the intellectual, a book signing or poetry reading could be his cup of tea. This method is an excellent way to give a wonderful romantic gift to the man of the ladie's dream.
Men are extremely difficult to please with gifts and presents, especially with romantic intentions. There are excellent ideas and thoughts on how to satisfy a man that seems to be rigid. An individual could even buy a man flowers and candy. They would enjoy the sentiment. A romantic dinner with candlelight and soft music is also something they would love to experience with their lady. The female needs to pay attention to his words and actions, then and only then will they know exactly what would be the best romantic venture for the two of them.by Jane Saeman

Romantic Body Language Which Attracts Women
Body language is something that everyone uses, both purposefully and inadvertently, to gauge how much someone is interested in them. Many people fail to realize what they are doing themselves, however, when it comes to romantic body language.
Being able to control your romantic body language and making sure that your body language is perfect can help you to make a great first impression on someone that you like. By following these simple romantic body language tips, you will be able to control your body language to give you the best results possible; in the process, you may also understand the body language of the person that you are talking to.
#1- Stand Close, but not too Close
Body language is important, and romantic body language relies heavily on how close you are too someone. It is possible, however, to get too close to someone, and ruin the romantic body language chemistry altogether. By checking yourself to make sure you are the right distance apart, you can make sure that you are giving off the correct romantic body language.
There is a certain rule that is easy to follow; if you are more than an arm's length apart, you are too far from someone. Being too far from someone gives off the vibe that you are uninterested. In that same light, know when you are too close. Personal space is important, so be sure to find the comfortable balance between too far and too close. Finding somewhere halfway between is always a good call when trying to give off romantic body language.
#2- Copy Their Body Language to a Point
Unconsciously, someone who is interested in another will copy their body language. By copying someone's body language to a point, you can be sure to send signals of romantic body language without being rude. This does not mean that you should recreate every single gesture they make; this will be seen as rude. If you mimic small body language cues, however, such as an open body, the closeness, or smiling, you can show that you are as interested as they are.
#3- Position your Body Toward Them
There is nothing worse than trying to talk to the side of someone. By opening your body up to the person you are talking to, you are giving off romantic body language that can help the person to know that you are indeed interested in them.
#4- Make Eye Contact, and Blink Often
Making eye contact is easily one of the most romantic body language signals that exist. By making eye contact, you are making sure that they realize that you are into them, and that you are listening. By blinking often, you are giving off what is considered an unconscious romantic body language signal.
If you want someone to know that you are into them without being blunt, romantic body language is the way to go. While many romantic body language signals are unconscious, you can use them, and be aware of them, to use them to your advantage.by Scott Patterson

Romantic Ideas for Romantic Dates
Hi hi .. Sometimes it can be hard to find a great romantic date or think of great romantic ideas. Valentine's Day is only once a year and then there are certainly expectations, however, the rest of the year can be just as important. The good news is that if you get just a few hints and tips you can be filled with romantic ideas to please your wife.
A great idea is to not limit your thought of a romantic date to a several hour or one night event. You can make it a great weekend getaway and there are boundless options. You can drive out to a quick getaway out of town or try out a special bed and breakfast or resort. If you can't make a weekend out of it, just drive out for a day trip to someplace new.
A simple change to the tried and true classics and romantic dates can quickly turn worn out dates into romantic wonders. Instead of going out for dinner and drinks in the same city you always do, go to the next closest big city. New restaurants, new sights and a new atmosphere is a sure bet for a romantic date. These create great shared memories and experiences and inject excitement into the relationship.
More romantic date ideas can always be found close to home though. With a little effort you can find many different, new romantic ideas that you never realized. Trips to museums, parks, new restaurants, local fairs and events and anything else along those lines are great for romantic dates.
Other small touches can go a long way to turning just another night into a memorable romantic date. Buying flowers for your wife when they aren't expected is always a great romantic gesture. You can rent out a limo for a night and go out on the town as if it was your prom all over again. Small changes like these are unexpected and can easily impress.
The typical date ideas everybody knows about and everybody tries have been around for a long time for a reason. Some might seem boring, but taking them to another level is a great romantic date idea. Go for a candle lit dinner, except rent out an entire section of the restaurant. Or cook up a romantic feast at your home and do all of the work - with candles through the house (be safe, though).
Romantic date ideas can come at any time and any place. They don't have to be reserved for a weekend or a once a month affair, the more the better. The more of these romantic date ideas you use, the more your love will be affectionately drawn towards you.by Nicholas Lombardi

Romantic Quick Tips for you
If you want to be more romantic, you gotta start thinking outside the box of candy!
Being romantic isn't just about giving candy and flowers.
If you're going to give candy, give your partner their favorite candy or a candy from their childhood. If you want to give them romantic flowers, make them your partner's favorite color.
Being thoughtful is a very important part of being romantic. A little care up front can make a huge difference in the end!
Cost Effective Romance
There are a lot of things you can do on a shoestring budget such as writing love notes, or watching an old love story together. Today's economy may keep you from spending a lot but that's not necessarily a bad thing. A well worded text message can be just as romantic as a Hallmark card.
Size May Not Matter
Doing something small but tasteful can be more appreciated than grand gestures. With small gestures your partner can be sure that you really did it for them rather than for the "audience."
Surprise!
As we all know some of life's best moments aren't planned. Every now and then you get a great spur of the moment idea. For example, if you want to surprise them with free tickets to a concert that same evening, it's okay. Just make sure its something they will enjoy and not just something for you.
Quality Time...
Spending time with friends and family can be romantic as well. If your partner hasn't seen their best friend from college in ages, you could arrange a visit and reconnect the two. Now, you want to make sure the friend is actually a friend and not someone who is a total snooze. Your partner will really appreciate it! by Terry Roman
