Long lasting relationships are about having fun together and noticing each other. What "being romantic" means varies widely from person to person, but generally, being romantic is about dedicating time to someone for the purpose of pleasing the other person, directly or indirectly.
Some people focus on the small things such as letting the partner have the remote control all evening, or having home-cooked food ready when the partner arrives home tired from work. From time to time, however, a little more is required. In order to keep up the passion, here are some tips for little and bigger "events" to pull off to show your partner that you love him/her.
Steps :
Add a nice touch. Hold your significant other's hand. Kiss his/her shoulder. Buying some massage oil and a book on simple massages can work wonders
Have a balloon hunt. Giving a present can be spiced up a bit with a small "treasure hunt." Blow up some balloons and hide inside each a note of where to go next. The present can either be material or something simple.
Make a puzzle present. Find a puzzle company, or make a puzzle yourself with a picture of you or the both of you. At some special date, start sending pieces in letters.
Give a mouse pad present. A silly but funny present is to make a mouse pad with your partner's favorite picture of you/you two.
Phone your partner. If (s)he picks up, ask the partner to hang up and don't pick up again. When you finally reach the answering machine, have something ready which can play music. Then instead of leaving a message just leave a piece of the love song, preferably when something sweet is being said.
Kiss for every laugh. Play the game that whenever your partner laughs, you are entitled to kiss him/her. This can be during a movie or when going out shopping or a visit at the museum.
Make the partner feel that you feel united with them. For example, when traveling, include their name on your name tag on the luggage, put his/her name on the door to your place. Change your chat-name to include or make reference to him/her. Make him/her feel that (s)he is a part of your life.
Play the balloon game. Blow up a lot of balloons and place them between you and your partner while laying in bed. Try to pop them by squeezing your bodies together when you cuddle. This is harder than it sounds. In some of the balloons you can add sweet notes.
Call to see if you can pick up anything on the way home from work.
Make a date. Call your partner at work and say: "Hello handsome! Are you free tonight?"
Write your partner a check for one million kisses.
Give him/her a lottery ticket and a note: "I hit the jackpot when I married you."
On cold mornings warm up your partner's car.
Seek inspiration. Use a thesaurus to help you describe your lover: beautiful, angelic, divine, sublime, alluring, bewitching, stunning, gorgeous, exquisite, marvelous, magnificent, charming, enticing, fabulous...
Using a knife, trace/write "I love you" in the butter. It will surprise your partner next time she uses it.
Hide a love note in the bottle of vitamins. The note says "I'll be your vitamin L."
Scatter rose petals all over the bed.
Write notes on Post-it notes and stick them around the house.
Toss a coin in a fountain and make a wish together.
Ask yourself if the reason that you are fighting is important enough for the both of you to go through the trouble of feeling hurt.
Compliment. It's simple, compliment more, complain less.
Wake up. Before getting out of bed, face your partner, give him/her a kiss and say: "I'm thankful to have you in my life."
Hide a little gift for them so they'll find it during a walk together.
Shower together only in the light of candles.
Give your partner a lottery ticket. Attach a note: "You are one in a million."
Don't be lazy. If the romance is only running in one direction, your partner will get tired of taking the initiative. Be certain that you're putting your partner up on a pedestal rather than sitting around waiting for him or her to sweep you off your feet.
Pull the bag out of your lover's (unused) breakfast cereal box and slit a small hole in it. Insert a love note. Tape up the bag and return it to the box.
While your partner takes a shower, write the words "I love you" in the condensation of the bathroom mirror. Or if you shower together, write it while (s)he is drying herself.
One of the classics is giving flowers. However, do note that many people actually prefer special flowers or even better planted flowers as they last months rather than days. Don't think that this only applies to men giving women flowers- many men appreciate receiving flowers too.
wait for your partner to go to bed. If you've spent the evening together, go to bed together...even when sex isn't in the picture. It shows caring beyond physicality. Good night my love.
Send a dozen roses: 11 red roses and 1 white one. Make a note saying "In every bunch there's one who stands out - and you are that one."
Don't believe the old stereotypes. Remember that romance runs both ways. If you want your partner to open doors for you, then do the same. Women are just as capable of being romantic.
Kiss every square inch of his or her body S-L-O-W-L-Y !
Give a home made "coupon" for something like one free kiss or one free massage. Quite often, they won't take up on the offer, and will instead just keep the coupon as a memory.
Take your partner to a coffee house. It's relatively cheap and they provide a nice atmosphere and plenty of games. If not, bring a deck of cards or another small sized game and have fun a couple of hours with something nice to drink and playing games.
Don't be afraid to tell your man when he's aroused you, tell him teasing how he's leading you into temptation and then kiss him. He will feel like the luckiest man alive.
Write a "respect" letter. Tell her 1-3 things you really respect about him (e.g., "I respect your work ethic.", "I respect how you really understand how the car works.") Respect is a man's love language. He'd rather be respected and unloved than loved and not respected.
Tips
If you think your relationship is going along very well, don't be shy to make love. Just take it slowly, and always be sure that you really love and care for your partner.
Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Don't just kiss on the lips... When making love, kiss on the breasts, on the shoulders, etc., The cheek is my personal favorite. Have her lay her body on you if she's tired. If she's sad, let her cry on your shoulder. She will realize that you are very special and you really care for her. Kiss her and maybe go to your house and do a little more than kiss. Then, the next day, slip her a note that reads, "I can still feel your breath on my cheek..."
Don't stare. Don't stare at her breasts, or anywhere but her eyes. Don't stare! Just keep looking at her eyes, or focus on her nose if you can't do that. If you do stare and she caught tell her how beautiful she is and how she distracts you.
Carry mints with you, so your breath doesn't stink.
Show your partner appreciation year-round, not just on anniversaries and Valentine's Day.
Always smell nice. Preferably with his/her favorite perfume of the opposite sex. Don't put too much on though cause then it will appear as if you did not shower.
~Hope this helps!~

There are two answers to this.
1. On an everyday basis just take an interest in how her day went and what she did. Ask her about it. Listen to her when she talks to you. Really listen.
2. For a romantic evening cook her a nice dinner. Keep her wine glass full. Wait on her and treat her like she is special. Put on some music and dance with her. Shut off the phone and tell her you dont want your time with her interrupted.

Most romantic thing that happened to me:
My b/f works second, and when he gets off at 11:00pm I usually go to his house to stay the night. One night I arrive to one lit candle on the ledge of the stairs. Two note cards that say "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Come up Stairs to see what I have in store for you". As I climbed the stairs I was met with a dress shirt, tie, socks and pants laying on the floor. Candles up and down the hall way. As I walked into the bedroom there was a room full of candles. But he was no where to be found. Suddenly he came up from behind took my purse, slowly took off my jacket and kissed my neck. As i went to speak he put his finger up to my mouth, kissed it and Needless to say I was butter.

Remember all of the details, all the little things she loves, showing that u actually pay attention to what she says is really great, u could give her a small gift every once in a while about the details

You really have to specify the type of girl. All chicks are different. Right now, I wouldn't go for the romancy stuff. Spend a wad of cash on me and that'll earn you points. When I was younger, creativity and heart was key. It's about the type of girl.

Letting me sleep in on the weekends - he'll keep the daughter quiet until I'm fully awake & moving ... !
Cooks breakfast for me every now & then with flowers on the counter - he will go out and buy a bouquet of flowers and I'll wake up to breakfast cooking ... !
Opens the door for me no matter where we are - he also lets me go first when it comes to things - like ordering food or taking showers ... !
He compliments me non stop - with sincere compliments it really makes me feel good - in return I want to make him feel good ... !
I think it's the little things he does that really touch me ... calling to say he just wanted to hear my voice or buying my favorite cookies because he saw them on sale ... it's putting the other person first that really makes a difference ... !

Hold my hand in public
Tell me he loves me, even with "bed-hair" and morning breath
My husband always leaves little notes for me to find, every single morning. I love that!
I'll sometimes catch him just looking at me (like when we're watching TV or something) and when I look over at him, he says, "geez you're beautiful" (or something like that)
When my husband does the "little" things...those are the most romantic to me...big trips and fancy dinners are fine...but nothing says romance like giving away a little piece of your heart

Whatever is in your heart do it. I love a man that does stuff with out having to be asked or nudged or anything. I love surprises so a guy could surprise me and I would love that. Or if the guy does something that is one of my favorite things that lets me know that he has been paying attention to me

Buying her a little present just because it reminded him of her every few months.
For example, her favourite chocolate bar or to the more extreme, a piece of jewelery you definitely know she'll like.

Act like you don't care about her.
You need to decide if you like being romantic enough to like being PERMANENTLY SINGLE!
I've tried romance. Doesn't work! It only adds insult to injury when she runs off with a guy who treats her like crap!
