For Gay Guys Who Are In Relationships (Or Want To Be): The Four P’s of Romantic Success

By Charlee Brotherton

I have the job of what could be called a modern day Yenta, a Matchmaker or Cupid. I am in the business of love. We don’t just celebrate the day of love once a year, we celebrate it 365 days a year. We have introduced thousands of single people with the hope that they will fall head-over-heels in love and live happily ever after.

Love really does make the world go round. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory actually states that a human being needs to love and be loved by others. Yes, we need love, but gay or straight, we all crave romance as well.

How do you sustain the wonderful feeling of romance in a relationship? Taking a closer look at our members and their stories, I have found that most relationships flourish through the regular, romantic gestures made by each partner. It’s quite simple; each is trying to please the other. By studying successful relationships, I’ve come up with what I call the “Four P’s of Romantic Success.”

Make Romance a “Priority”
First, decide today that you want to make romance a Priority in your relationship. By making this decision, you will begin thinking how you can make time for your partner and do things that will please them—just like when your relationship was new.

“Plan” Things to do Together

In the movies, romance is spontaneous and just happens. In reality, actors are following scripts, line by line. You don’t have to follow a script to be romantic, but some Planning sure will help. Remember, a great date doesn’t just happen, someone has to plan it. Start a romance file. Keep fun ideas that you and your partner can do together. The next time you are looking for something fun to do together, the answer will be right at your fingertips. And yes—we have all heard it before, set aside a date night just for the two of you. It really does work.

Engage Your “Playful” Side
Next, keep a Playful attitude. Romantic moments engage the playful side of us. Think back on your relationship when it was new. I bet there was a lot of laughter and kidding around. Lighten up, forget about the mortgage and your job—just find something fun to do together.

Be Willing to “Participate”
You have heard the saying, “It takes two to tango.” For romance to flourish, both partners must be willing to Participate. You can’t have fun if one person does not want to be romantic. It is a win-win situation when you both are in the game and participate.

By just following the Four P’s, making it a Priority, Planning, being Playful and Participating, you too can add romance to your relationship! You can go from a ho-hum relationship to one that is everything you want it to be … better than in the movies!
