Trying to keep the romance in any relationship is difficult. However, keeping an online relationship romantic seems nearly impossible. Don't lose heart; the romance doesn't have to die!  You just have to keep an open mind and use a lot of imagination. Just because you have an online relationship doesn't mean you can't use other communication methods - don't forget that.

If you are working at keeping your online relationship romantic, you have to think out side the box. Think about sending each other gifts from the heart. If you are the man, ideas for gifts include flowers with a handwritten note. You could send her a bottle of her favorite perfume. One of your T-shirts that smells like you is a great romantic gift. A stuffed animal sprayed with your cologne tells her you want to be the one she thinks of when she drifts off to sleep and when she wakes up in the morning. Smelling you in her bed is sure to light that spark of romance.

If you are the woman in the relationship and you want to send something that really says you care, send him a batch of your best homemade cookies or brownies or fudge via overnight delivery. Nothing warms a man's heart quite like knowing that you took the time to bake him something special rather than just give him some store-bought baked goods.  Send him a stuffed animal that has your perfume sprayed on it so he can snuggle up and smell you; that will get his romantic juices flowing! A great reminder of you that he will cherish forever is a sexy yet tasteful photo taken just for him. There are photography shops that specialize in glamour photos for a fairly reasonable price.

As for what you can both do while you are online, consider instant messaging each other sexy messages when you know the other person is at work. The riskiness of this makes it romantic; knowing that someone could walk in at any moment and catch you excited and flushed adds to the experience. Of course there is always exchanging suggestive photos online - that also helps keep the romance alive.

A great romance builder is writing a romantic fantasy together. You start it, write a paragraph or two and send it to your partner; let her add to it and send it back to you. Open up and show the wild side of yourself, really have fun with it. Share your dreams and hopes with your lover. Keep it going back and forth - you may be amazed at the result!

The most important part of keeping an online relationship secure and full of romance is never neglecting the other person. Always make time for the special person sitting on the other side of the computer screen.
