Good ol' Lisa Simpson, that misanthropic doomsayer of a cartoon girl, once said, “Romance is dead — it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized and sold off piece by piece.” Lisa, I’m sorry, but I disagree. There are many things guys can do to help keep the romance alive. Here are a few of our favorites. 1. Wildflowers. Flowers are still a great way to a woman’s heart, but be...
