Stop. Look Listen for Romance

A row of trees ran along county road 7. The tracks used by the occasional train carrying goods between cities far away, cut across the dirt road.

Automobiles had long replaced wagons. But in rural Iowa, Leroy still gave his children the same speech he'd heard from granddad decades earlier.

"When you come to the railroad crossing, slow down. Take your time. You need to remember what we did before the Wig-Wags. Stop. Look. And listen. If you don't see or hear a train, it's safe to cross."

Time was when no automated crossing guards warned of approaching trains. Parents reminded children to stop, look and listen before crossing. They were collecting information before deciding it was safe to cross.

This is also good advise when it comes to romance.

People may acknowledge it best to romance your sweetheart how he/she prefers to be romanced. Now you want to figure out how you sweetheart prefers to be romanced.

There are no cue cards prompting your sweetheart romantic preference.
Your sweetheart might not tell you how she/he wants to be romanced.
And unfortunately, your sweetheart may not even be aware of how they want to be romanced.

But your sweetheart will share the information if you'll stop, look and listen.

This isn't a passive activity. You must deliberately seek this information. Proactively search for clue of how your sweetheart prefers to be romanced. And it's not hard to figure out.

Become your sweetheart observer. Slow down. Watch (look) at how your sweetheart responds to different Romantic Interludes you create. Listen to the words your sweetheart uses.
