"Hello, I am Patti German, a licensed marriage and family therapist in New York City. In this clip, I'm going to talk about how to carry a romantic conversation. Conversations are very, very special. You know, talking is the essence of who a person is. To talk romantically, it means you really have to feel something very endearing for the person you're speaking with, and we're talking about two people in a couple. To talk romantically is to not necessarily focus on what doesn't work in the relationship, what you don't like, to attack, to blame, to accuse, to judge. But romance is more about what you like in someone, what makes you feel good about yourself in being with the other person. And I think if you focus on these qualities about what happens to you with another person -- with your partner or whoever -- you will see that romance naturally unflows. It's being positive and it's being present. This is Patti German in New York City."
