In my past relationships I always liked when my partner would sit me down and explain exactly what she needed and wanted. Words like "romance" can be mean completely different things to people, especially between men and women. When I knew exactly what she was thinking and feeling, without the abstract terms, I think we would communicate much better. It showed me that she trusted and loved me, and was willing to work for our relationship. Plus, I want to make her happy and fulfilled, it makes me feel good too. But that's me, everyone is different.
