Here are some rules about being romantic and looking after a relationship with a romantic man. You may find this funny that a man is telling a woman how to be romantic. But in today’s Twitter/Facebook obsessed society, everybody seems to be attached to their iPhone 24/7 and that includes you ladies.
I’ve actually found as a man, that women suck at being romantic. Oh yeah, I’m using the word suck here because I’ve seen so many women who have no idea how to respond to a man’s romantic intent.
Case in point:
A member of my team met a woman. They went out on three dates. He did everything you women want. He followed up the date with a text. He asked her out at the end of the first date. He met her at a place that he knew she would like. He did exactly the things women want a guy to do after a date.
So he’s a romantic guy, (and you ladies always ask “how do I meet a romantic man?”) so what does he decide to do next? He sends her flowers. This woman is like a lot of women, maybe even like you, career-obsessed.
So, he sends her flowers. They arrive at 4:00pm because 1-800-Flowers tell you exactly when the flowers are delivered. It’s great. They get delivered almost immediately.
He doesn’t hear from her at all. He doesn’t hear from her until 7:30 that night. She’s on her way home on her car phone because he can hear the whoosh noise going through the car. She thanked him immensely and said “everybody in the office was so amazed. They all loved the flowers, they’re so beautiful.” And that was it!
So what did she do wrong? She called after 3 hours, isn’t that OK?
No it’s not! You want to know how to meet and keep a romantic man? No matter what you’re doing at that moment you get those flowers, if you want that man to continue to be romantic, you drop everything and you ring or text him immediately!
This woman runs her own business. She’s the boss, and she doesn’t have to answer to anyone. She could have picked the phone up right away if she’d wanted to. You don’t make someone wait for a call after they’ve made a beautiful romantic gesture.
It’s amazing how many women wait hours, days, to thank a guy for something because they’re busy.
