8 Romantic Gestures That Should Make A Comeback

It's pretty well known that romance isn't something this generation expresses much anymore. Most women long to be romanticized by a man in a way that makes them feel beyond beautiful and valuable. While there are some men that still do these things, it's not so common anymore and it typically doesn't happen until you've actually established a relationship. So, here are some classic romantic moves to pull on your next love interest!

1. Call them.

Don't send a random text in the middle of the day to say 'what's up' and make small talk. Call them up! A phone call conversation is so bizarre today that when the phone rings people automatically panic. If you know she's not busy, just call her! It'll make her day.

2. Go for a walk.

Usually we think of a romantic walk as some 1920's tradition when a man and a woman would go on a supervised stroll through the park and stop on a bridge to watch watch the water flow and have a deep conversation. The truth is, taking her out just to walk and talk is actually really cute. You can get some time with her and communicate on something besides what show to start next on Netflix.

3. Meet the parents.

New flash, not everyone's parents are okay with not meeting the person their daughter is dating! Even if you don't end up dating her forever, show up for dinner one night, shake her father's hand, and compliment her mother's home. Happy parents, easier time.

4. Flowers.

It's beyond cliche but guess what? It works. Nothing will leave a girl speechless like a bouquet of flowers, or even one flower at that.

5. Go on a formal date.

Let her get dressed up and feel good, at least just once. And that doesn't mean go drop $200 dollars on dinner, just tell her to get dressed up and watch her face light up.

6. Read a book together.

Suggesting that you both start a book at the same time could be an amazing way to bring you closer. Whether it's the same book or different ones it could turn into something you two do together a lot. And if you don't like to read, get her a book instead.

7. Hold her hand in public.

Nothing feels better than being openly claimed in front of complete strangers, and if you are around your friends, that's even better.

8. Remind her of the little things.

Taking a trip down memory lane is always fun, and you'd be surprised about how much either of you have forgotten. Spend a hour just talking about little things you remember about each other. It's a fun little game!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
