- Ahhh…the first kiss
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
I just read the letter from “Smitten” and I have a similar situation, sort of.
I’ve been friends with a girl at work for over a year. We’ve gone out to to dinner, the movies and picnics at the lake. Our time together has always been great. I really believe there is something very special between us.
I’ve wanted to kiss her for so long but I’m afraid to make that more. I want to be romantic but I’m afraid that I’m not going to pull it off. I drop off little token gifts at her desk at work to show I care, but I think they might be too funny or “generic”.
How can I go about this in the right way? I want to be romantic!
It’s Now or Never!

Dear Jeremy:
Romance is something that cannot be put in a bottle. It’s more than any single act. It isn’t something that appears magically with the flick of a candle lighter. And know this up front, it takes work. No matter how deeply in love you are, sustaining romance takes work.
Showing you care is essential for love to succeed, but caring alone does not romance make. “Things” are nice, and women are fond of “nice things”, but the manner in which you gift the gift, can be as important, or even more so, than the gift itself.
Romance is the act of making something ordinary very special. Romance, I dare say is an essential part of life.
A look, a touch, a scent, background music, how, sharing a sandwich at the lake. Each one of these things can make romance.
And ahhh yes, your first “kiss”.
Make it special.
