Spent too much money on the most beautiful dress you ever did see? Two hours late home from the pub? You’re in the bad book, big time! and it’s going to take some deep digging to get yourself out of this one. It may take more than the rushed bunch of flowers from the local petrol station or the bottle of white wine on special offer. Read on to acquire tips for those Romantic Apologies.

We’ve all been there and done that, some of us repetitive culprits wear the T-shirt, unfortunately a few wear it with pride, you know who you are! In the main though most of us seldom find ourselves in this situation but when we do, we need to make amends and quick.

Verbally (Saying Sorry)
Depending on your sin, you may get this thrown back in your face, however, it has to be done and is always a good place to start. Sincerity is the key, mean what you say and don’t under any circumstances respond negatively to the back lash. Back the verbal apology up with a romantic letter or romantic poem. We’re not saying you have to be Shakespeare, write your romantic letter from the heart, as for romantic poetry, there is a wealth of material on the internet including romantic quotes, please don't just print them out though - remember sincerity.

Apologise with Flowers
As we stated above, there are occasions when petrol station gifts are just not good enough. For a few pounds more you can get flowers delivered to your door with a grovelling personalised card attached. Alternatively you could buy a house plant online and have that delivered, maybe a Peace Lilly!

Apologise with Champagne or Sparkling Wine
The bubbles of love! Champagne, luxury Champagne and sparkling wines are synonymous with romance, why should a romantic apology be any different. Rustle up a meal; it doesn’t have to be up to Gordon Ramsey’s standard, most of us can manage pasta, set the table and decorate with flowers and scented candles and then let the bubbles flow. This is bound to impress and melt the heart of the truly scorned. Substitute Champagne or Sparkling wines for fine wines if your loved one happens to be a connoisseur, there are many boxed wines available online that are beautifully packed in a individual wooden box.

Apologise with Red Wine or White Wine
The principle is the same as above, only on a smaller budget. Substitute the pasta for egg and chips, the Champagne for white wine or red wine if you prefer, the scented candle for a tea light and the delivered flowers can be replaced with either flowers picked from the garden or a home made paper card. Being romantic especially when apologising, doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, just some initiative, and that word - Sincerity.

So lets recap, you need to make amends for your thoughtless behaviour, verbally apologise then grovel, have flowers delivered and grovel some more, cook a meal and serve Champers or wine then grovel until your knees bleed. Job done, until the next time!
