So you and your man have decided to make amends and get back together. With plans of finally trying to ‘get it right’, you’ve decided that you want your make-up to be special and not consist solely of the infamous ‘make-up’ sex.
Not to downplay the act that’s referred to by many as the best sex ever, but there are other innovative ways to make-up and start fresh. Try these eight ways to begin your new relationship on the right note. They’re easy, thoughtful, and romantic.
Contrary to popular belief, some men like to be romanced as well, of course after the make-up sex. Sometimes it’s really the little things that matter the most and leave lasting impressions.
1. Re-live the First Date
In the beginning there was a curiosity that existed between the two of you; a curiosity that was both exciting and fresh. Try to re-live that moment again. Recall the first place you went on a date, fell in love, or even did..ahem, other unmentionable things. Go to the restaurant where you had your first date. Or re-play the entire evening when he first told you he loved you or vice versa. Whatever that special moment was in your relationship, attempt to re-live that moment.
2. Plan a Cuddle Day
Yes, this sounds rather cheesy; but what’s better than lying around doing absolutely nothing with your significant other? Of course, in such a busy world it’s hard to neglect responsibilities to simply lie around and chill, but for the sake of making-up, do it for only one day and make the best of it. Talk, kiss, cuddle, and you can even throw in that make-up sex that you love so much.
3. Make a Home-Made Card
This is probably the most inexpensive way to make-up. No expensive dates or gifts required. Just a piece of good ‘ole fashioned paper (or Photo Shop if you’re that savvy). On the card, you have the freedom to write what your heart desires, in as many words as you’d like. Plus it’s a uniquely cute way to make-up.
4. Plan a Couples’ Spa Day
Women aren’t the only ones who love a day of pampering. Allow someone to cater to both you and your man with a couple’s spa day. It’s relaxing and just as beneficial for the both of you because someone else is doing the pampering.
5. Prepare His Favorite Meal, but Restaurant Style
Unleash your inner Betty Crocker, but prepare the meal as if the two of you were in a restaurant. Ditch the Tupperware and paper plates and opt for your best dishes, table settings, and light a few candles to add to the ambiance. The idea is to create a romantic, restaurant atmosphere in the comfort of your home.
6. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Maybe you don’t like writing and would prefer to show your love through pictures. Create a photo album of your boo and you. In the event that you have another argument and he needs a reminder of you, he’ll have pictures to remember you in your best moments.
7. A Note in an Unexpected Place
Of course you can e-mail, but where’s the creativity in that? Put a make-up note in a place where your significant other is sure to look but least expects it. Ideas?: In his car, his suitcase, or in front of the television he frequents when he secretly wants to get away from you.
8. Put It in a Love Song
Okay maybe not a love song, but a poem will suffice. Don’t worry if it’s not a literary work of art. It can be short and silly; as long as it expresses how you feel. Your significant other will appreciate the effort; and it’s cute!
