Why Flirting is the Ultimate Precursor to Keeping the Romance Alive

Flirting. It’s in our DNA. We, as women, were born to flirt.

Flirting has the ability to allow us to get whatever we want. It is also absolutely necessary to keeping the romance in your love life alive.

And let’s face it, flirting is super FUN.

Remember when you first met your man, and you caught his eyes for the first time?

Remember what happened when you smiled his way, tilted your head, perhaps played with your hair or gently caressed your neck and chest, or touched his arm or back?

He payed attention. Why?

Because you payed attention to him. In a word, you captivated him, all by averting the attention from yourself and showering it onto him.

You hung on his every word (without even realizing it), you secretly thought about massaging his chest, kissing his lips, and couldn’t wait to be alone with him.

And then somehow life happened. You moved in together. Got married. Had your 2.5 kids and well, for most of us, the romance died.

I know, after 5, 10, 20 years, you might think that romance is unnecessary or maybe you think it’s impossible to bring back but I disagree.

I think you can bring the romance back. And keep it very much alive.

Check out these 5 ways to bring the spark back into your romance.

Talk to Him With Your Body

Body language. Need I say more? If you want your man to pay attention to you (like he used to when you first started dating), touch yourself. Play with your hair, caress your earlobe, tickle your neck, lick your bottom lip, look at him suggestively, eying him up and down…I promise you, he will find a way to get as close to you as possible.

Touch Him

Remember when you first started dating, and every time you touched him, you both felt a tingle or tickle down your spine? To recreate those sparks, touch him inconspicuously. While you are out to dinner or having a drink, brush your hand over his. While you are walking down the street, gently put your hand right above his waistline. When you are sitting in the movies, touch his thigh while reaching for popcorn. While laying next to him, gently place your feet next to his so they lightly touch. The point is to touch him constantly without having to be suggestive.

Give Him the Power

What would your man do if you asked him to make all the decisions on your date night? (You do still have date nights, right?) Let him pick out your clothes, your shoes, the shade of lipstick you wear, where you go, what you do. Regardless of what he chooses, go with it. You will be totally amazed how much pleasure you both will get from this.

Pull Out Your Sexy Panties

Why save your sexy panties or your special clothes for those special
times…birthdays, anniversaries, weekend getaways? Why not wear them now. Put them on under your sweats, your office wear, your everyday attire. Make sure you give your man a sneak peek while getting ready for work, or do something daring like wear your silk cheekies with just an apron while cooking dinner, check your email while sitting in your lace thongs or better yet, sleep naked. You get the idea.

Share With Him One of Your Fantasies

When he least expects it, while he is driving the car, drinking his morning coffee, taking out the trash, share with him one of your most secret fantasies or one of the sexy dreams you had about him. Be as vivid as possible. Then walk away. He will have created an image that will last the entire day and when you reconnect later that afternoon, watch the fireworks explode.

Have you had any success with any of these ideas? Do you have other ways to bring the romance back that you would like to share with us? I would love to hear from you. Drop me a line in the comments below.

The Stranger Game

The Stranger Game

The Stranger Game

Bloop! Jenna’s PDA signals a new email as she munches on her bland leafy green salad outside a chain café downtown.  She rummages for the phone in her oversized purse hurriedly only to find that it is an email from her husband, Jeff.

“Meet me at Bloozer’s at 9pm. Dress like you’re 22 and single and bring clothes for work tomorrow.”

What the hell? Jenna types back, furiously, “What about the kids? I have a nail appointment tonight!”

“The kids have plans,” Jeff responds.

“What about my nail appointment?” Jenna’s question is met with no response.

Jenna’s walk back to work is spent tossing Jeff’s intentions over and over in her mind. Why would he be so inconsiderate of my plans? What the hell are the kids doing tonight? They’re six and ten. They don’t have plans. It’s a damned school night! This had better be worth my time or someone’s toothbrush is being used to brush the dog’s teeth tomorrow.

Jeff is not answering his phone and Jenna finds herself getting angry as she parks her car in the Bloozer’s parking lot. Jenna and Jeff met at Bloozer’s about eleven years ago. It hadn’t changed a bit. Jenna’s black strappy heels stick to the floor as she steps into the smoky bar. She scans the room for Jeff but doesn’t see him. Her irritation increases and she finds herself feeling slightly self-conscious.

“Hey! Yer real pretty.” Jenna spins around to see a man, slightly impaired, nursing a beer at the bar.

“Excuse me?”

“I said yer real pretty. You wanna have a drink with me?”

“No thank you. I’m married.” Jenna shouts over the music and white noise. She feels naked in her short black dress and thinks that when she sees Jeff, she’ll punch him real hard for making her do this.

“Just cuz yer married, don’t mean ya can’t drink for free, lil’ lady. Whatcha usually drink with yer old man?”

“Um . . . whiskey. On the rocks, please.” The man compliments her on her taste in hard liquor, orders her the drink, pays for it, and, surprisingly, leaves her alone. Jenna sips it, still irritated and still contemplating the delivery of her punch to Jeff.

“Excuse me,” a familiar voice says from behind her. “I noticed you standing here and wondered what such a beautiful woman was doing all by herself.” It was Jeff. Jenna’s eyes squint as she prepares to unleash a barrage of questions when Jeff extends his hand and says, “I’m Jeff. What’s your name?”

Huh? What the . . .  Then it hits her. Two months ago, they were reading a magazine about ways couples can spice up their marriage. There was one called, The Stranger Game, where couples meet up at singles hangouts and pretend to have one night stands with each other. She’d said she liked the idea, but Jeff thought it was stupid and a complete waste of time.

“Uh . . . Jenna,” she stammers as she stares at her husband, dressed all sexy-like and looking smooth. Jenna’s frustration with him melts as she shakes his hand. Awww . . . how sweet.

The rest of the night is spent talking and flirting like two young, irresponsible singles. They drink a lot, flirt wildly, and then take a cab to a nearby motel, where they screw the hell out of each other in ways they’d never imagined as a married couple. The fantasy enables them to explore each other in new ways and not let the monotony of their routine (like dinner and homework and dishes) get in the way.

The two take a cab back to the bar in the morning and both return to their cars. Jenna finds that changing is difficult in 55-degree weather and that gas station toothpaste just isn’t the same when you have to use your finger as a toothbrush. But it was all worth it. Coming home to Jeff the next night, not speaking of their exchange, treating it like a true one-night-stand, made for great sex throughout the entire week!
