Try and be as clear as possible with each other. Talk your alone time with each other and share thoughts and build on them. Address anxieties/fears and let them know that you are with them.

Long Chats and Long Walks: the best way to reminisce into your loving past is by taking a stroll and having conversations intertwined with a little romance with your partner in a nearby park. Let your mind dig deep into the caravan of memories and enjoy with sweet chit chat. Discover the interesting aspects of each other through the past and talk about it. Talk about interests and likings and similarities you share. Share laughter and joy as you walk together.
