Licensed Relationship TherapistSpontaneity, intentionality, and emotional communication are the keys. It doesn't have to be anything expensive or super planned, just something that you plan ahead, like going out together on a random day. Being able to have more emotional and intimate conversations on a date is really romantic. And sweet gestures, even as simple as a sticky note showing your care, are romantic, too.
