In this YouTube short, relationship counselor Rebeccah Silence argues that romance is fading because many people wait for their partner to make the first move. Drawing on 25 years of private‑practice experience, she urges viewers to take the initiative: when romance feels missing, be the one to start. She emphasizes that gestures don’t need to be grand; simple actions like leaving a dry‑erase note on the bathroom mirror, writing a lipstick love note on a car seat, or saying "I love you" in everyday moments can reignite the spark. She also recommends scheduling dates to sustain the feeling, framing the approach as a way to create a "summer of love" for both partners.

this gets to be your summer of love and we get to bring back the romance.
Nobody is romantic anymore. Let's talk about how to bring romance, whether it be to a current relationship or if you are interested in somebody.
Oh my God, I love this conversation. Let me tell you the one don't I don't want you to do, and then a few things you can do. So what I don't want you to do, which I've seen for over 25 years in my private practice, is wait for the other person to go first. That's what a lot of you do. You're like, I'm not gonna give them the best of me. I'm not gonna give them the romance. They haven't touched me in 5 years. You're looking for reasons to wait and to punish the other person and to make them go first is actually hurting you, boo. Right? Yep. Because you want the spark, you want the romance, and you deserve it. So go first. The second you see the romance is missing, go first instead of putting it on your partner. Okay? And the last thing is it doesn't have to be super grandiose, these romantic gestures. I leave little notes for Mark in dry erase markers on the bathroom mirror, or I'll do it with lipstick. You know, put a little love note on the seat of your partner's car. I love you. I appreciate you. I'm grateful for you. It can be so simple, these romantic gestures. So make this the summer of love, and of course, go on some dates, but you can start small.
