Romantic songs and Restart Smart thinking go hand in hand as you journey through the war zone called dating. Turn on the radio to an oldies station, sit back in a comfortable chair close your eyes and listen to romantic songs. No! Not Perry Como or Frank Sinatra, we’re talking The Union Gap, Spiral Staircase, Beach Boys and all the other great artists of our time.Why is not a question it’s an excuse. We want you to remember a time when you were free you had dreams and no fears. A time in your life when for lack of a better word you were in love. Yes you were. The radio played romantic songs and filled us with the desire to fall in love. Reader's Digest Store. Music, Books, Videos, Art and Magazines. Shop Now. We sang these romantic songs in private, after all we were cool, remember. There were nights that we fell asleep listening to the radio. We woke up to the sounds of Marvin Gaye, Smoky Robinson and the Who. Once the music of those romantic songs fills your soul you will be ready. Ready! Yes ready to get out of that comfortable chair, pick up the phone and make that call you’ve been putting off. Ok we know you’re nervous. Take a deep breath fill your mind with the romantic songs from the Turtles and dial. Congratulations! She said yes. Now it’s time to get ready for the date. We will assume fashion is not a handicap you possess. Restart Smart Tip #1 : Take a long hot shower and have the radio, i-pod or whatever blasting romantic songs of your youth. This we label as pre game psyche. You arrive on time, your heart is pumping palms a little moist and breathing becomes shallow. Do not fear just turn on the memory button of romantic songs of the Beatles. I want to hold your hand, (no not us) you want to hold her hand, stay focused. Restart Smart Tip #2: Keep in mind she has been listening to the music as well. Women inhale romantic songs, it is their air. You know the prince the princess the songs the evil stepmother, you know that stuff. In the car driving to the not so expensive restaurant, not cheap either your initial inclination is to turn on the romantic songs, yes! Ah No! Restart Smart Tip # 3: We call it conversation. This is where two or more people engage in the exchange of information. We know the Tremolos song ( Silence is Golden) was great. However! Restart Smart Tip # 4: Silence is golden until it becomes tarnished with age. Think about it. This is not the time for romantic songs. Dinner went well, there was no spilling, slurping or burping on your part. She seems to be having a good time. The conversation is witty, once again congratulations. Now it’s time to take her home. Now is the time to engage in romantic songs to fill the moments of silence. Why silence. You’re a guy you know why. Do you try to kiss her good night or do you shake her hand ( we’re sure she’ll love that) or do you just walk away? In case it’s not clear to you, she’s thinking the same thing. By having the romantic songs playing softly your chances improve that a hand shake is not on the menu. Restart Smart Tip # 5: Just because a woman gives you a kiss after a dinner date, does not mean she is inviting you for breakfast. We will leave you here, because we don’t want to know what happens. Just close your eyes take a deep breath, and think romantic songs. |
