Romantic words should never be missing in your relationship. Some partners view mere compliments as a show of love so when the cute words stop coming at them, they start to have second thoughts about how much you care for the relationship.
This doesn’t apply to everyone but one thing that applies to everyone is the appreciation of compliments from a loved partner.
Even when the reaction doesn’t look like it, your partner wants to hear you call him/her “darling” and names like that.
Go through this list of romantic “D” words and start flattering your partner.
