Romance on a budget - Love is patient, kind, and cheap!


Valentine's Day is around the corner and men from Alaska to Florida are breaking into a cold sweat. They've bought into the fallacy that romance equals money. Men everywhere have been frightened off by television and movies and believe that romance is something outside of their budget. They are wrong.

When I think of the most romantic and breathtaking stories that my friends and I discuss over coffee, we don't talk about flying off to Europe or drinking the most expensive champagne. The little things like holding hands, reading stories together, and lots of laughter are what we hold dear.

I've put together a list of ways to show love -- without running up your credit card bill. And, ladies, this list is for you, too. Initiate the following ideas with your Sweetie, and show him how much you care. The ideas below are for men or women and fit every budget.

Love Notes - Leave Love Notes for your Sweetheart to find.

Pampering - Brush her hair. Scratch his back.

Wildlife - Feed the ducks, squirrels, birds, turtles or fish near you.

The one thing my S/O has said that what impressed her the most was the mug of tea that appeared by her bedside after the first night we spent together. She still gets it! Along with breakfast in bed, footrubs, hot baths where I wash her hair, etc, etc, etc,. And you know what, it is MY pleasure to do it!

And i wish there were a million more like you!

On another note, I think (or more feel) a lot of men don't understand that thoughtfulness means a lot to a woman.

Most Women truly believe actions speak louder than words and the little things mean a lot.

i'm cheap and rather than spending money on something material, i rather my man go dust the living room. rub my feet. brush my hair. i'm cheap and easy, but not like that.

Sylvia Hubbard said...

oh gawd, that would just make me really horny if my man cleaned and cook.

I wrote a blog about that too.=

Men who do chores get more sex. LOL

The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree, but still hold hands. We attract love by the emotions we display; we retain love by the emotions we possess.

A priceless gift, the greatest gift of all, is Love. Just showing consideration, concern, care, and compassion is a gift worth more than gold. As twin sisters we know first hand what it feels like to love someone, care about them, be concerned for them and really be genuine about it. Great tips you give for showing your love or care for someone outside of the dollar - this is what we call a true free money tactic. SistaWAHMs gives this post 2 thumbs up!
