Generic Romance

Yes, as a matter of fact it is more common than those experiencing it would like to admit. Everything starts out like a fairy tale, but how long can that really last? Only as long as you're willing to pretend nothing ever goes wrong.

Here's an example of both the fairy tale and lasting love. Fairy tale example; He gave her a dozen roses and a box of chocolates on Valentines Day. She wrote him long romantic love letters. He sent her greeting cards.

Lasting love example; Give your lover a dozen roses, but change it up a bit. Instead of twelve red roses give eleven and one white. Attach a note that reads, "In every bunch there's one who stands out, and you're the one.

Always remember it's the little things that count. You know he is an avid reader, so insert a love note in the book he's reading. Unplug the television, stick a note on the screen that reads, "Turn me on instead".

Showing your true love colors isn't always easy and can be quite trying at times, but remember you aren't alone.

For the men that don't know about flowers, I can offer this: red roses mean love and passion, pink roses mean a romantic friendship, and yellow roses mean friendship and respect, while white roses mean purity and adoration. So, the next time you're in a flower giving mood think about t what they mean.

Finally, to make your fairy tale a lasting love, know that it's not what you do, but how you do it.
