Some men just aren't in tune with their romantic side. Fortunately, most men can be taught, given the right attitude. Proceed carefully and don't ever pressure your man into romance. Here are some initial tips: The golden rule is to lead by example. Remember, you want your man to take the lead, but, on his terms, not yours. Start by pampering him.

Do what he likes to do best -- even if that is drinking with the chums, playing a video game, or just watching TV on a Saturday night. Doing this, a spicy ending to any of these activities will be much more favorable for him. Afterwards, show him you'd appreciate similar attention towards you, and eventually he'll get the bigger picture. Take charge of a great night out with your man.

Plan an entire night on the town and then let your man just come along for the ride. Women need to appreciate just how difficult it can be for the man to always be the one to find creative and fun things to do. It can be very romantic for the man when his lady takes charge in this way, finding a new restaurant and activity for them to enjoy.

The man can find this very exciting and will be open to romance afterwards, once an enjoyable evening has been spent together. Turn romance into a competitive game. Alternate planning weekly date nights with your man and plan an activity that will appeal to his competitive nature. Men will often want to take the lead here because they find great pleasure in outdoing their mate. Finally, make sure your man knows how much you appreciate the little things that he does for you. This can be cooking a great meal when you are tired, opening the car door for you, treating you to a chocolate heart when you are feeling blue, any number of thoughtful, little things.

Make a point of mentioning that he does this for you in front of your friends and watch the envy of the other ladies ooze all over the place! Your man will take notice and feel loved! Romantic moments should quicken with this plan! There are definite things that you can do to encourage your man's romantic nature. All he may need is a little suggestion, knowing how much he is appreciated and a few well thought out challenges to get his creative juices flowing.
