Remember the Little Things

If you're looking for ways to show your lover how much you care, don't forget the little things -- flowers, a candlelit dinner, a poem you've written yourself. You'll find these and other Romance Tips at The Little Things.

The site's suggestions are mostly for men to use to keep the sparks alive. If she likes romance novels, write a chapter with the two of you as hero and heroine.

Dredge up those cutting and pasting skills you learned in kindergarten to make a collage of pictures of her favorite things. And when you know she's had a rough day or week, pamper her for an evening: Give her a back massage, paint her fingernails, and while the polish is drying, cook dinner and clean up afterward.

The hints are helpfully coded with little icons to indicate those meant for when you're together, when you're apart, or any time. The site says any time at all is a good time to slow dance with your lover -- at a club, in the living room or a parking lot.
