Setting The Scene For Romance

Today's relationship advice is fun AND practical! Creating the perfect setting for your romance is a great way to not only increase intimacy but also makes the evening more memorable. Using simple psychology, here are some tips and trick in order help rev up your love life.

Capturing the Senses

As clichéd as it might sound, understanding that you have five senses to captivate is a great place to begin. When you use this knowledge to your benefit, you will begin to create a multi-faceted experience, rather than an ordinary encounter.

SIGHT

The eyes are essential in creating a romantic mood. Here are some suggestions:

If appropriate, take your significant other to the place where you first met or where you had your first date

Take your partner to a special setting, like a spectacular natural landscape or a beautiful landmark

Make sure you are well-dressed and well-groomed

Find locations that are rich in love symbols or associated with love – i.e. Paris, Venice, or a romantic restaurant

Sound

What's more relaxing and enjoyable, the sound of the swaying leaves or ocean or honking cars in the middle of a rush hour traffic jam?

Trying playing soft and romantic music in the background. For a comprehensive list of love songs please visit this comprehensive list of love songs.

Play a favorite song or instrumental

If you're musically inclined, try composing a song inspired by your sweetie and play it for your honey

Be sure to arrange a place where your partner will be able to hear you. If you're in a place that's too loud and jarring, it can be difficult to get their full attention.

Think about having the sound of running water in the background when proposing in natural settings. Studies show that water sounds have a soothing affect on humans.

TOUCH

When talking with your partner, gently touching them, such as sweetly holding hands or putting your arm around them. Also, ensure that they have something to touch that is comfortable and luxurious such as a plush, luxurious sofa. Let's review:

Be sure to take their hand

Have them seated in a comfortable seat

From a psychological perspective, touch can be positively reinforcing.

Smell

Humans have a very powerful smell memory. Ever smell something that immediately brought you back to a particular place in time? Remarkable, isn't it?

Smell can be the tricky because you want to make sure that you are filling the room or proposal location with scents that your partner actually likes. Thankfully, there are some easy ways to accomplish this:

Bring flowers your partner enjoys

Put flowers on the table where you're located

Send flowers before that special date

Wear a scent your partner enjoys such as aftershave, cologne, or perfume

Taste

Fortunately, taste is a simple sense to capture. You can bring your sweetie to a romantic restaurant (see this list of the world's best romantic restaurants) or you can also create a special meal in order to celebrate your union and have a special “recipe that you can revisit over the years to reflect on good times.

Remember, this relationship advice is open to your imagination. Also, it's important to note that you don't necessarily need to have all of the senses engaged at the same moment, you can simply make attempts to incorporate these tips gradually as your relationship evolves.
