Recognize Your Man’s Romantic Intent When He Wants to Do Things Together

Recognize your man’s romantic intent when he wants to do things together—and respond!

If we look back to our dating years, ladies, we can see how those “go out and play” activities were in fact actually romantic. So if you want to rekindle the romance in your life, suggest doing some of those things again. And be very attuned to those I-want-romance-too signals that your man may have been sending you—like his idea of going out for the Sunday drive—that you’ve been missing up to now. What a shame that so many of us simply haven’t been seeing those signals for what they are!

Once Sophia realized that her husband’s heart truly was in it when he made their date night plans, she decided to appreciate and enjoy the evening. As they fumbled their way through the archery lesson, they encouraged each other and laughed a lot. She was surprised at how much they connected just by trying something new together.

Your man’s efforts to create romance may or may not match the visions you have, but either way, they’re a clear sign that he wants to spend time with you. And that is unquestionably romantic.

So recognize—and respond to—his romantic intentions when he wants to do things together. You just might be surprised at how much you enjoy that one-on-one time and are drawn closer as a couple through the experience.
