Remember the movie, "What Women Want?" Where Mel Gibson is magically gifted with the ability to hear everything the women around him are thinking. This puts him at an extreme advantage in business and love...especially LOVE! Today we are going to remake this story and place you as the star.
     Let's start with a little quiz From the book, What Women Want to see if you are ready. Ok, here goes; Which of the following spontaneous gestures do you think a woman would find most romantic?
a) Bouquet of flowers b) A surprise date c) A hidden note d) chocolates or candy e) A greeting card f) Jewelry g) A surprise phone call

If you answered "C" congrats! You are a regular Romeo of romance! 40% of the over 1,100 women surveyed agree with you. Flowers was a distant second with 28%.

It seems that a lot of the women indicated that their feelings are being triggered two-fold. First, the women loved the element of surprise of the gesture and second was the fact that it was created with his own two hands with feelings expressed from his heart. One woman went on to say, "A woman wants to feel that you love, cherish and care for her and her alone..." Writing a personal note is a simple yet powerful way of conveying that message and making her feel "romanced".

Success coach Nicola Jackson says, "For a woman, romance and sex go hand-in-hand. If he wants more sex, he should give her more romance."  In a more dramatic survey 100% of the 105 women surveyed responded yes to the question of whether they would enjoy a home cooked meal prepared by their significant other. If the meal was a surprise that simply pushed them over the edge of romantic bliss. One women stated, my husband really doesn't cook, but if he did that, I would rock his world!!!"

The trend that I see in all of my conversations with women about, sex, love and romance is that the more a man can create romantic experiences (especially with his own two hands), the more a woman feels loved and naturally and sometimes overwhelmingly the more she wants to have sex. Again, from the book What Women Want, "We hate to belabor the obvious, but before she wants to have sex, she wants to be romanced!"

My response with Sweeping Her Off Her Feet With Food is; Sounds fair to me! My philosophy is to try and take it a little further by employing what I call "Romantic Equity," which is consistently surprising her with, notes, text, emails, the verbal expression of my affection and appreciation of her, her favorite chocolates, and especially my secret weapon, the home cooked gourmet meal at least once per week. What I find is that I, am the one who consistently needs to be well rested because it seems that she wants me "in a romantic way" at least as often as I can handle it. 

So gentlemen, you now have your script. You now can read her mind and know exactly what she wants. Give it to her and see how much harmony, love and passion you find coming back your way. Not just Valentine's Day but everyday for the rest of your life!

How sweet it is!!!

 I asked a client the above "title" question this morning and the first thing out of her mouth was, "The day my kids were born." Without hesitation, the second answer was, "The day I met Marlin!" The man who would eventually become the love of her life. What she remembered most about that day was the smile he gave her. I have asked women this question a few times this week  and the answer follows a trend, the first response is always the birth of one (or all) of their children, the next response relates to falling in love or a lovely gesture or experience shared with someone they were currently in love with. Very simply, every response, even those related to having children had its origins in LOVE!

     Sometimes the responses are extravagant outings like honeymooning in the Caribbean and wedding proposals, but often they were more simple things like walking in the rain and the fact that he gave her his jacket, or the way he looked at her or smiled revealing his true nature of loving kindness. One woman whose husband is consistently loving and romantic had perhaps the best answer to the "best day of your life" question, her response was; "That would be TODAY!"

    So here's your chance, today is a great opportunity to share you heart with those closest to you and perhaps make this and the coming days leading up to Valentine's Day "The best day(s) of someone's life!" What kind gesture could you do for you lover today? Is it simply a smile? Looking deeply into her eyes expressing how beautiful she still is to you. Or pehaps you want to push her over the edge of ectasy and make a homemade gourmet dinner with your own two hands!" (SweepingHer.com makes this a much simpler task!) Whatever you choose be it extravagant or simple just put your heart into it, let her feel your reverance for her and I guarantee that this day will be sceaming up the charts as one of the best she's ever had!!!

  This one is so familiar that it is taken for granted. Quite possibly because flowers are often sent to cover for some faux pas or picked up at the last minute in a rush on the way home from work because you "forgot" some important date. Fact is though, many women absolute love receiving flowers. Especially if they are received "just because." Women also express that it is great receiving flowers at work because everyone in the office gets to see how much they are adored. Kind of like bragging without having to say a word!
