I wrote a few articles about romantic gestures for women. While many comments were in agreeance, my curiosity piqued by ones from several men that exclaimed:

“Men want romance, too!”

In an age where dating is becoming rather bleak, and our attention is plastered to our phones, romance can be what keeps a relationship alive.

Some say romance is dead, others say it’s sexist. But really, it’s showing someone you care for them. Any person can be romanced, and I don’t think anyone would argue that they want to feel cared for.

While I wrote mainly about women, the fact is, men want to be romanced, too — they literally told me so; and though romance for men can look the same as women’s, it’s also a bit different.

Seeing as I’m a woman, I turned to men to find out what they deem “romantic.” I asked friends, polled my followers, and scoured the threads of Reddit.

And while I can’t ignore that sex definitely came up, so did a lot of other gestures that made my heart melt when I read them.

So if you’re looking to show the man in your life a bit of romance, give these a try:
