Intimacy

What is it exactly that makes a woman see a man as romantic? Most of the time it's the little things that women notice. A glance, a quick touch or brush across her back. Sure, flowers are nice, but haven't they almost become a cliché. That's not to say women don't like flowers because they do, but if that's all you've got then it will only go so far. You have to mix it up, change your style and use your imagination to create romantic moments.

The key factor in creating romantic moments is to put the lady's likes ahead of your own.

Creating romantic moments is so easy it's a wonder every man in the world doesn't "get" this. All you have to do is think of an activity built around something she likes to do. Does she like shopping (not something men even like to think about much less do), fine dining, walks on a beach, watching movies and the list goes on.

It's all about doing something she likes with her. What will make such activities seem even more romantic to her is if you choose to do something she likes to do with her when a ball game is on TV that you could be watching with your buddies. She will feel chosen...and that, sir, is VERY romantic indeed.

It doesn't matter which activity to choose to participate in with the woman that you want to think of you as romantic. The trick is for you to be totally involved mentally in the activity and not staring off into space or obviously just wishing it were over so you could go do what you really want to do. Remember this is you trying to be romantic so concentrate on the project at hand.

It really is so very easy to create romantic moments. With only a little thinking and planning, romantic moments can happen every day and at the most unexpected moments. Being romantic is a win/win situation. There is no reason not to make romantic moments happen at every opportunity.

Just the other day one of my clients wanted to talk about sex. She had questions about when it's OK to become intimate. We discussed the old saying, "Why buy the cow when the milk is free?" Does this archaic way of looking at sex still hold true? Do men still think this way?

Well, it depends. It depends on the man, the religious beliefs, the timing, and many other factors. Very conservative folks say you should wait until marriage. OK, but that might be easier said then done. Others say men don't respect women who sleep with them on the first date. So those are the two ends of the spectrum - but there is a huge amount of gray area in between and that's where most people reside.

So, I'll be addressing you "gray area" folks. When is it OK to roll in the hay? It's a totally personal choice. If you are a very emotional person and know that you get attached after having sex, then it might be wise to hold off and spend more time getting to know your date. Really learn about each other and see if the person is worthy of your heart, mind and body. If you are a more casual type who can separate sex and emotional attachment, you have more flexibility because you aren't as concerned about the outcome or rejection.

Honestly, there is no one rule. Although, according to many men, there is the Three Date Rule - the idea being that the third date is the most likely time for a first encounter. But who said women are on board with this rule?

For the ladies, I say, make your own rules! You know yourself and what works best better than anyone else does. Ask for advice and you'll get a wide range of opinions and probably get confused as well. In truth, only one opinion matters and that is YOURS.

Do what feels right for you. You want to put off having sex - good for you. You feel comfortable going for it earlier - that's your choice too.

But how do you know which men don't care if you're "easy" and which men are a more traditional? Ahhh, that's the catch. You don't know until you get to know him better. And that is why I feel waiting is just smart. It gives you time for some good data gathering to find out who he is, what he believes and how you two are together. You really can't lose when you hold off when you are looking for a loving, lasting relationship.

So how long is a while? I have one client who read somewhere that you should wait 30 hours. That's in-person time and phone calls count too. Others think the fourth date is fine, or the six, or the tenth. Of course how many hours are in one date and do you count all of them too? Let's not get crazy!

Why not choose a number of dates that seems like a long enough time for you and go from there. Make that part of your dating protocol and don't re-decide each time you meet a new man. If you stick to your own rules, it makes life so much easier, reduces stress, and gives you an easy out because you can simply say, "I'm not ready yet."

One piece of advice I can give you is not to tell the man you are dating WHEN you will be ready. This is a negotiating mistake of gigantic proportions. Some men might find it a fun challenge to hang in and wait just for the sake of it. Instead, keep your count down close to the vest. That keeps the sexual tension going and leaves you a mystery - most men love a good mystery, especially of this nature.
