For me, being romantic means being attentive and sensitive to your partner. I find it really romantic when a man devotes total attention to me, because that will translate to him knowing me very well and being sensitive to my feelings and emotions. He is then able to quickly detect things about me that other people would ordinarily never perceive, and if need be, remedy them. Not everybody is born romantic, often times we learn.  I believe I am romantic but I don’t live in a fairy tale world; I am a realist. And so, I don’t demand the impossible. Calling me by 12 midnight to wish me happy birthday is romantic enough. So it is in the little things we do…

Romance to me is reading the right thought or infusing the right thought into the right mood and displaying it physically. Put simply, you have to know your partner very well and do the right thing at the right time. Sending him a card when he desires something totally different simply wouldn’t work. You may be trying to be romantic with that gesture, but he doesn’t feel it. For me therefore, being romantic has to do with my mood, and being able to decode your partner’s mood is a prerequisite for successful romance treats. I would never forget one of the most romantic things I ever did. I travelled all the way from Ogun State to Lagos to see someone, but found out that he had travelled to Ife. I then took off and headed for Ife as late as 6pm and finally arrived Ife  at 1am. I just needed to see him, nothing more…he was so impressed.
