The Coolest Ways to Woo A Lover

Romantic Gestures.

While us mere mortals may enjoy a candle-lit dinner or a bouquet of flowers as a symbol of affection - there’s always room to go the extra mile with A-list inspired tactics. Next date night, take cues from these celebrity couples to star in your very own Hollywood romance.

No games, just glamping
Just weeks after their first blind date Prince Harry invited now-wife Megan Markle on a romantic getaway under the stars at luxe safari campout Meno A Kwena. Double points cause it was her birthday too.

Insta-poetry
A couple that makes albums together stays together. But 10,000 roses aside - it’s the little things that count. Take a cue out of Beyonce’s book and write your honey a sweet social love note like “My favourite hue is JayZ blue”.

Mixtape dedications
Keith Richards wooed model Patti Hansen (pictured) by making her mixtapes and collaging them in photos of her from magazines. Even more brownie points given the medium is now retro. Maybe a Spotify playlist will suffice?

Fake it, till you make it
Zoe Kravitz pretended to be on her phone outside the bar so she could invite her now husband Karl Glusman back to her place for an afterparty - they made out that night, and moved in together shortly after.

Get out of town
Long walks in random cities like Cleveland brought Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott together. After the L.A. couple rode off into the sunset on the tour bus they returned with a baby on the way.

Sexting
Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez won superstar J.Lo’s heart after he finally worked up the courage to send her a saucy text message after they had hung out a few times. It read: “You look sexy AF.”

Manifest
Put it out into the universe. Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin dedicated a song mid concert to ‘his girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow’ who actually wasn’t his girlfriend, in fact they had never met. Must have got on her radar because after a later meeting at another said concert, they hit it off and the rest is history.
