Step 1
Flirt! You have to start somewhere. This part of the romance can be a lot of fun. Flirting will let the object of your adoration know that you are interested. According to his response, you will be able to tell if the feelings are reciprocated.

Step 2
Ask the subject of your romance out on a date. If you have been flirting and think this person may be interested in you, now is the time to find out if it's real. Make it official. Ask the person if they would like to join you on a date.

Step 3
Make the first date special. If you made it to step two, it is assumed that your special someone said 'yes' to your proposition. Great! Bring flowers, chocolates, a stuffed animal, anything you think would make your partner smile. Remember, this is your first impression in a romantic context. Be memorable! Take your partner to a location or plan an outing she will never forget. Don't be afraid to do something unique. Use what you already know about this person to organize something that you are certain she will really love. Candlelit dinners are always a romantic beginning.

Step 4
Let the person know that they are often on your mind. Telephone calls, text messages and emails are a great way to let the person know that you are interested in the idea of continuing to date them. A sweet and simple text message that reads "Thinking of you" with a smiley face is a great idea. Sending flowers is also an appreciated gesture.
-
Step 5
Communicate with the person. Find out if starting a romance is something they're interested in. Make sure both of you are on the same page. Do you want a casual relationship or something more serious? Ask what the other person is looking for in this relationship. Many hearts have been broken by not following this simple rule. Make things clear from the beginning.
