Love Sex Romance, blog no. 7
Don’t be Romantic (ALL the Time).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You’ve certainly heard the phrase “Too much of a good thing.” Well believe it or not, it applies to romance, too. Yes, it is possible to be too romantic. 
Here’s why: If you’re romantic all the time it becomes expected, predictable and boring. 
What should you do? Be romantic—but don’t fall into predictable patterns or common routines. 
Don’t believe me? Go ask the behavioral psychologists. They call it “intermittent reinforcement.” Huh?!? “Intermittent reinforcement.” The PhD’s who study these things have shown that occasional rewards—“intermittent reinforcement”—is more effective than either consistent rewards or no rewards at all. 
Who knew??
