Romance Isn't Dead - You Just Need the Four Ls

Romance Isn't Dead - You Just Need the Four Ls

By Imogen Croft

In this age of equal opportunity, sham marriages and speed dating, we need to ask: is romance dead? Despite the fact that the idea of wanting to spend your life with one person is a pretty alluring ideal, marriage has been on the slide since the 1970s. So, do we give enough time of our busy lives over to romance and being romanced? Is the contemplation of thoughtful displays of affection too over the top for modern-day dating? Do we even consider how we'd like to be treated if we were to be swept of our feet? Dating life is full of after-work drinks and silent cinema watching. Where is the truly selfless act of an adoring gesture? There are a few little things to take into consideration when you're desperate to turn up the heat on your romantic-o-meter:

Location

The location for your great romance doesn't have to be Paris or Venice. You can create a moment in your own home. This is the easiest way to implement romance and to do it on a shoe-string. The most important thing is to re-enact this romantic side again and again - and where better than your own home. So, that means that your bedroom needs to be kept as though it's a geisha's. Piles of clothes, a wobbly bed or bulging drawers just don't cut it.

Lighting

The correct lighting is paramount to set the scene, no matter where you are. If you're not lucky enough to have dimmer switches, abandon main lights altogether; scented candles and table lights give a soft hue to the surroundings. Imagine a silhouette of you in your most sexy lingerie, poised to woo your man.

Luxury lingerie

Feel your best in some fabulous lingerie. Men are rather astute when it comes to the feel of lingerie (they might not know their corsets from their suspenders) but they love to touch silky soft luxury lingerie. Exactly what lingerie that might be isn't too important (as long as you feel wonderful wearing it). Maybe ask him to touch your thigh at dinner, if he feels stockings and suspenders, he won't be able to think of anything else until he sees your clothes on the floor and you in your luxury lingerie.

Landscape

If you fancy booking a naughty weekend away, awe-inspiring views can be extremely sexy and romantic. Imagine an ancient city like Istanbul stretching out in front of you from a hotel room where you can see the cities lights twinkling in the background. Actually, city breaks can give the most exciting views, teasing you to come out to play. Or take a heat-drenched holiday, with the warm breeze wafting through your hair or over your bodies on a Mediterranean island.
