Women adore romance and the smart man knows that even the most masculine of males will benefit from being romantic every now and then. There's nothing that turns a woman on more than a macho man with a flair for romance. Even simple gestures like cooking a romantic dinner, surprising her with flowers or taking the time in your busy day to show her some appreciation are enough to touch her heart.

This list offers some suggestions on how men can be romantic towards their partners without that much effort.

(1) Be thoughtful every day

It could be something as simple as offering her a cup of coffee the moment she wakes up or bringing her a surprise like chocolates or candy when you get home. You could even write her a love note and put it in her bag before she goes to work. All women love romantic surprises, no matter how small.

(2) Make her a toast

Out of the blue, make a toast to her over dinner and tell her something that you adore about her, then drink to it. You don't have to be drinking wine or champagne - a glass of orange juice or water will do. It's the gesture and the message of your toast that counts.

(3) Compile a photo album

Regularly snap photos of your life together, not only of your special moments but your everyday activities as well. Then put them together in a photo album and surprise her. This is something she will enjoy for many years to come. Oh, and remember to catch her best side!

(4) Celebrate all your anniversaries

List down all your special anniversaries together and celebrate each one. Of course, the most important of these are your yearly anniversary and the time you first fell in love. Try to celebrate other anniversaries as well, such as the first time you met or your first kiss. It doesn't have to be lavish. Even a simple card or a hand-written letter will make a great romantic impression.

(5) Have regular physical contact

This does not refer to sex alone but to simple gestures as well, such as kissing her goodbye when you leave for work and when you return at the end of the day. You could volunteer to give her a back rub or massage her feet at the end of a tiring day. The power of touch is a compelling thing, so make it work for you.

(6) Communicate your feelings

Tell your woman about your day, about how you felt about certain things and whether you are feeling stressed or tired. Don't worry, they will not hold that against you. In fact, your partner will appreciate your honesty and it will make them feel like a significant part of your life. They may even make an effort to cheer you up and make you feel better.

(7) Look good for her

It's funny that we sometimes dress up for business meetings or for total strangers but we rarely extend the same courtesy to those who matter the most. Make it a point to look good for your woman and make sure you're wearing her favorite cologne.
