Up Your Odds of Romantic Success

Every relationship is a gamble. Will it work out? Or will you move on to the next one? Either way, you’re dedicating your time and energy to making a romance worth rooting for, but the key is putting that time and energy in the right places.

One way to do that is to think about the 4 essential ingredients for romance, and to work on them! Here they are, and how to add more of them to your love life:

Communication
Relationships are all about talking! Talking is the most important step to getting a romance off the ground, and also the most important step in making sure that romance stays in the air. Ideally, you can tell your partner anything that’s on your mind, but also feel comfortable when there’s a little mystery. Practice communication by letting them know how you’re feeling each day and why. Don’t be afraid to open up!

Understanding
If communication means just talking and getting things off your chest, then understanding means listening when the other person is speaking and thinking long and hard about what they mean. Your partner is their own unique person, with different needs and wants, and differences often cause friction. But if you practice understanding , you start to learn that differences are good, actually! They keep things fresh, and make it so that you always have something to talk about. Strive to appreciate your love’s quirks and odd habits, and you’ll go far.

Excitement
This is one that’s a little too easy to ignore sometimes. We often talk about romances having a “spark,” and this is what we mean! It’s that special spice that brings the two of you closer together, and which makes you happy to wake up and be in love. You can make excitement by sharing new experiences together or having deep and profound discussions about yourselves or the world. Love doesn’t have to be a rollercoaster 100% of the time, but if you’re not getting your heart rate up every now and then, then is your heart really beating?

Attraction In a relationship, there should always be something that interests you about your partner, and which keeps your eyes on them. Looks are a good start, but it takes more than looks to make a romance last. Ideally, you’re also madly in love with who they are as a person, and the things they do. If you feel your attraction start to stall, ask them personal questions to uncover more about them, like what they believe or how they see the world.
