When getting into a relationship, you expect your boyfriend to surprise you with romantic dinners, romantic weekend getaways or serve you your favorite breakfast in bed.
This can be disappointing and frustrating at the same time. Well, he cannot be fully blamed for being unromantic since it is not something one is born with, being romantic is a skill.
These six tips can help you deal with an unromantic boyfriend in the gentlest ways without getting either of you hurt.
Communicate on what you expect
You need to understand that if your boyfriend is an unromantic soul, he has no idea what being romantic means.
You should not expect him to know what he has to do to express his romantic side without you telling him.
Don’t compare him to your exes
Comparing your boyfriend to other men you dated is the worst thing you can ever do.
It is painful for him to have to listen to these comparisons all the time. Put yourself in his shoes and imagine how you would feel if he made the same comparisons with you.
Show him what to do
When explaining to him what to do, remember to show him how it’s done.
Plan a romantic dinner and serve him breakfast in bed or think of something you have always wanted to do together then show him how it is done.
Be ready to compromise
Be ready to do things that you have avoided doing in the past.
If your boyfriend is into sports and gaming, try sitting next to him and ask him to teach you how to play and enjoy these moments together.
Appreciate his efforts
Never forget to appreciate your boyfriend’s efforts because he will need your support to show him that he is doing something right.
If you persistently keep supporting your partner through his transformational journey you will be surprised at what the both of you can achieve together.
