Words can be a great way to show someone your true feelings. Some of the greatest love poems on record were inspired by romantic love. But if words just don’t come easy, you can always show your new companion how you feel about them through pantomime. Actions speak louder than words. So in lieu of sweet nothings, try the following romantic gestures on for size:

• Call for absolutely no reason
• Surprise him with a home cooked meal, candles and all
• Buy new lingerie
• Send a flower every day
• Carve your names in a tree
• Make her breakfast in bed
• Serenade her with a love song
• Wash each others hair
• Perform a full-body massage
• Present her with the firs edition of their favorite book
• Have a good fight
• Pick him up from work
• Bake your famous home made dessert

*pantomime-the art or technique of conveying emotions, actions, feelings, etc., by gestures without speech.
